This is not something to boast about, but I haven't made any "me" purchases (i.e. fun purchases like clothing, make-up, junk) all summer. While this didn't start by choice, it feels surprisingly...OK aside from some general feelings of alienation. I still look cute. I'm trying to separate my self-worth from material goods. This sounds pretty elementary, but I actually think it's pretty challenging--especially for women and for living in NYC. I think that realization feels better than anything I could ever buy. I really want to shed away the sense of entitlement that I adopted from being raised in my generation. I hope this sentiment lasts.
I'm also reading up on economic policy for the class war.
