    Also, people are allowed to have nice things they don’t need. They should have nice things they don’t need. This idea that, unless you’re well-off, you should only buy the bare necessities is bullshit. Comfort is necessary for basic mental health. You’re not an idiot who can’t take care of their money because you dare to buy a PS5 and a big TV. You just want to squeeze a tiny bit of pleasure out of this miserable existence.

      also a big TV and PS5 cost less than one month’s rent at even a 50 year old small apartment

      I didn’t say that though, did I? I said that unless you can afford it, you shouldn’t be using a CC because you feel entitled to something. The capitalist system encourages that and now we have huge amounts of CC debt which is unmanageable.
