What is your favorite way to spend money?
(lemmy.world)
Over my life, I've noticed that my expenses for living fall into one of three buckets:
- Exciting buys
- Wise purchases
- Necessary costs
But I'm mostly curious about that first one...
What is your favorite kind of exciting buy?
My exciting buy might be a new musical instrument even though I have plenty, a new video game, purchasing art, a vacation, a luxurious meal, etc.
And less on the fun side of things, my other categories would shake out like:
- A wise buy might be investing in a house or business, putting money away for savings, or spending a premium on a BuyItForLife kind of purchase to avoid buying a new one every year.
- A necessary buy is probably the same as most others: housing costs, utilities, clothing, household goods, food, transportation, etc.
I feel you. I have written browser automation scripts to press "I am not interested in this ad" buttons for me it gets so bad ๐
That's awesome. I literally do not know how to do any of that.
Sometimes I think my own consumer tendencies kinda does the job tho. Like it doesn't know what to recommend, so it gives me the same shit I've already bought. Like literally the same guitar over and over again lmao.
You probably look stuff up related to that guitar, so the algorithm is like, "I bet I can sell this guitar! There's clearly interest here!"
