I think it's important for all of us to stop every now and then and go, why are we spending this way?

I had the thought that like Amazon kind of came out of nowhere on us, right?

Like we went from when you wanted something, you had to go to the store to buy it to, okay, there's this Amazon Prime.

I'm going to order every now and then to all of a sudden there are packages on your doorstep every single day.

And it's like, that wasn't,

a conscious decision.

I didn't just suddenly become an Amazonaholic.

I just fell into it.

And even just stopping for a month and going like, I can walk in a store still.

I don't need to buy something every single time.

It crosses my mind.

I can wait.

And even with grocery stores, I saw a study recently where it's like back in the 50s, there were like 3,000 options of things you can buy.

And now there are like 40,000 options in our brains.

I mean, you talk about- Can't handle it, man.

So much choice.

So just cutting back and cutting down and going like, I need to have things be a little bit more simple for a while.

I need to like regroup.

And especially with everything changing so fast in our culture and inflation and all these things, just taking time to go.

Okay.
