This “underconsumption” business is baffling to me. Do people actually buy new heavy coats and all new Christmas decorations every winter? Do they throw away their Valentines themed coffee mugs on February 15th and then shop for new ones the following January? Do people buy a new car every year or two? Like, seriously. I’m confused. How is wearing the same pair of well-fitting jeans till they get holes in them “underconsumption”? How is buying a well constructed pocketbook and carrying it for a few years not normal? Or boots? Or anything else? I mean, if you buy what you truly love you wouldn’t want to replace it, right??? These influencers are showing their insulated travel cups with chipped paint and small dents like it’s something to celebrate and be congratulated on. ???? Was I supposed to run out and buy a big, bulky Stanley for every day of the week, plus holiday editions? Am I supposed to throw away leggings that I only wear around the house because they get a pull or a bleached spot? I mean, somebody please explain this to me. I can’t make it math, or understand the WHY. Even if I was using some mythical rich husband’s money, I can’t see replacing anything that’s serviceable and not stained beyond repair. Maybe I’m the odd one…
