    Okay, and did those 2000 purchases bring you cumulatively more joy than a single $10,000 purchase?

    Almost certainly.

        Deliberately buying junk to stretch a dollar for a dollar’s sake is not the same as buying inexpensive items that you actually want.

      What a great point. The little bits of joy definetly add up to alot more.

      Interestingly this is a thing in positive psychology, commonly refered to as savoring. Its a technique of paying special attention to small moments of happiness because they affect our overall mood alot more than big moments people tend to fixate on.

      Heres a research article on the topic for anyone interested. the abstract gives a good overview of the concept.
