That feeling of needing to buy a new cool phone - you've had this one for a whole two years! Get something new! that this time will surely make me happy,

Or go ahead and eat 3 milky way bars, surely you'll feel better afterwards

Rarely does it ever actually make me feel better for more than like 30 minutes to a day depending on wtf I bought

Fighting it is the most taxing thing ever too, a constant "hey hey hey you want this. Get it" just wears you out when trying to tune it out

But hey, at least this milky way tastes good

Yeah, taking steps to eliminate my CC debt that was often fueled by this

Taking steps to get rid of it, but @_@ of course something will break and need to be replaced or repaired (fucking car)

I get more of a "what's the point" with purchases because I know I'll just get "used to it."
