You live really frugally for years and be better off later on, but it could mean missing out on a lot of experiences. It's all a matter of balance. I treat myself to some things, but I don't smoke, I don't drink a lot, I don't buy many clothes, I have a basic phone and I don't go out every week. But I do go to some concerts and have the odd nice meal. Our consumerist culture does encourage people to define themselves by possessions and consumption, but I try to resist that. Social media may play a part in this as our habits can be more visible. If only people knew they could be earning from it :)

Yes I'm not entirely against spending/ events, I get it, it all depends how awful work is whether it's worthwhile on balance!
Bonkers to think we get rewarded for doing well, this!
