normies havent figured out yet that instead of chasing deals to buy shit you dont need, you just ignore every sale and only buy thing when you need it (even if its not on sale). You save much more money in the long run.
Also you know whats better than 30% off, getting 100% off by just not buying it.

most people are mentally retarded cattle. it's in their genetics. 100 years ago they would be retard sharecroppers. 100 years before that, indentured servants. 500 years before that, retard peasants. extremely high time preference with absolutely no thought to their financial trajectory, to their future, etc.

I know of multiple people who live paycheck to paycheck not because they have all of these necessary bills to pay, but because they dig themselves in a hole by buying pointless crap. $1000+ monthly truck payment, spend another $2000-$6000 on modifications for their car, eat out at a restaurant every other day, multiple televisions, hundreds of dollars in alcohol/drugs, spend money on mobile games and cosmetics in video games that they barely play, brand new clothing to impress others.

My coworker, who's a sweetheart, spends like a good fourth of her paycheck on lululemon clothing and dumb things like $600 airpod pro headphones. The year I've known her I think she's saved up $3500 total, in the same amount of time I've put like $10,000 into boomer stocks and crypto

Does anyone else flat-out not own TV's or tablets? Tablets are essentially useless for things outside of entertainment so laptops do the same thing. If I watch a movie or TV show it's usually on my desktop screen too.
