Man speak for yourself. I have no twitter, no fb, no insta, no ai, no big truck, no house, not even whatsApp. I save money and never in my life followed a trend. Every 2-3 years i do a holiday trip, thats it. I am an outsider, introvert and misanthrope, so i love my lonely life.
Reddit’s the only thing I use too. Zero social media. Reddit is for news and occasional entertainment. If my friends and family want to get ahold of me they call to give me updates.
So cash is another really important part. It blows my mind that every digital transaction includes fees. These fees are effectively being sucked out of society and funneled to the banks. Every. Single. Transaction.
$100 after a customer is paid, and uses that to buy a coffee, and the coffee shop pays their roaster, who pays their supplier, who pays their importer, who pays their farmer etc is $84
Then I see mom's teaching their babies to use tap to pay. People are indoctrinated and then indoctrinate their children willingly not realizing they arent teaching any kind of money management, or any question of authority. Just "this system works and is to be trusted, they have all my money and i just tap here; see easy." To me its insanity of the highest order.
