    Hey! You’re just like me! A vegetarian with a minimalist lifestyle! It might not help the planet much, but it certainly helps my bank account. I own a house and have 6 figures in savings while most people my age are still paying off student loans.

    Consumerism and living in constant debt are just too normalized. The very idea of companies like uber eats blows my mind, and yet it’s a successful company. Not only are you going to pay a lot of money for something you could make yourself for very little, but you’re also going to pay even more for someone to bring it to you when getting it yourself is essentially free?? I’m not being cheap, I’m being efficient! How many companies need to be put in-between you and eating food?
