No Buy Year
Account deleted




wrote:
Been playing with that thought for next year, but not in a "zero buy year" because I wouldn't be able to do that, but with like, I'll have a few exceptions that line up with occasions throughout the year, and the rest of the time I'm aiming to buy nothing non-essential. 

Have someone tried it?
Or like done a month or something?
What are your thoughts about it?
What do you think would work\not work?

interesting!
i havent tried it, i didnt even know it was a thing. 
does it count everything including used? whats seen as "non-essentials"? 

ill look more into it, ive got to be smarter about money anyway, even though i dont get much per week(50e) i still throw it away on dumb shit a lot of the time lol.

honestly just seems so exhausting so no thanks.

depends how you hc you go with that too tho like i've seen someone refusing to buy necessary stuff used because of this. they just tried to find stuff by exchanging it to other stuff. i mean very great it's okay, but i couldn't ever bother to do that when i can just go to thrift store and buy things i need without talking to anyone

i'm considering doing something like that for the new year, yeah, cause i've spent way too much money on unnecessary purchases this year (especially the past three months). or, not necessarily a 'zero buy' but more of a minimalistic approach to purchases and like actually think it through before i buy. in this this day in age where it's like "hot new stuff, buy buy buy" i feel like it's important to take a step back and actually be aware of where and to whom your money is going

It had an impact on me though. I noticed how much trash people buy. Useless plastic stuff that breaks very fast, low quality items just because they are cheap. It's almost like an addition for some people.
