But if you're still living in your parent's basement as an adult because you decided to spend your money on relatively luxurious items instead of investing in the experience of independence, I'd say that "basics" aren't covered.
I'm not here for the promotion of economic complacency and I never will be.
SO I had someone tell me that i am spending too much
i should turn in my car cause im making payments on it opt for a used one i own outright
i should sell my items i do not need
i should downsize my apartment to just renting a roomt
so I can plan for the future better
now thats all sound advice cause that shaves off like almost 2gs
but i would be miserable
and it has nothing to do with being materialistic as i view these things as basic needs but on a different scale
so back to the basement
loni only brought that up to illustrate that we shouldnt judge and shouldnt tell ppul how to spend their money
but
we are getting into a mindset of well if you cant buy the big things you dont deserve the lil things
and ppul that work hard everyday but still classified as the working poor the lil things is what they got
untill something gives
but you say its being materialistic lol
