But the eye cream is different to the face lotion. I am not meant to put face lotion on my eyes. Neither directly on them nor around my eye area. And the eye cream is too expensive to put on my face. Maybe I'll just wither away?
This is wonderful. A ringing, resounding YES to this. "If we mature our money for the things we love, the hope is that we won’t spend the rest of our lives paying off the debts on things we only liked." And I am going to apply it to my Vinted "habit". x
I loved this, thank you! As a fellow hoarder and prolific buyer of Things To Make Me Happy, Today, this really landed. There’s a certain irony in the first thing I googled after reading being “Joan Mitchell 1983 Untitled how much?” but I have discovered it went for some $225000 last time it was sold by Bonhams and that isn’t quite within my budget for Nice Stuff anyway so it’s all good. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of the not buying as a thing soon
I really think that I want a handmade, custom hat that costs $699 plus tax and shipping. Every day I review this desire and respond “No, not today.” I still want the hat though

Yes! This is the single best reasoning for Not Buying The Things that I’ve ever read. Thank you! Worth this month’s Substack for sure :)
