This is what I've learned from this experience:
Weirdly, the less you shop the less you think you need. I'm not saying poor people don't have material wishes (shoot me if I ever say something that stupid).
I'm saying that if you've always been kind of well off - you don't need more stuff. You just don't.
Look around you in your house or apartment and consider this: all this
The more you shop, the more you want. New season, new clothes? Why? It's ridiculous.
That said, I'm happy for all the
Books
&
Good clothes (you know the kind)
I bought when I had that option.
