  • I can’t speak for everyone but when I’m spending 40+ hours a week working a job I don’t like, another 10+ hours commuting to that job, and however much more time it takes to do things like clean and physically take care of myself the little dopamine hit I get from seeing something, thinking “I want that” and then being able to have it feels life changing for a moment. It’s one of the few places in my life where I feel like I can just make something good happen without having to struggle for it.

    I’ve also found when I’m working less (or not at all) my “I want this right now” desires nearly completely go away. The behavior has been the same regardless of if I’ve had savings or not.
