ThrivingTheFuture – Episode 16 – Ditch the Debt, Now Ditch the Consumer Mindset

Break Yourself from the Consumer Mindset


Buy, Buy, BUY! The Consumer Mindset is Pervasive

Buy, Buy, Buy

Examples of the Consumer Mindset

  • Planned obsolescence
  • Fear of missing out (FOMO)
  • Confusing Needs and Wants
  • Buying stuff to make yourself fell better
  • Why are you buying gifts?
    • Buying gifts as a proxy for not spending time with your loved ones

Solutions to Ditch the Consumer Mindset

  • Examine your heart. Your Needs and your Wants.
  • Regift stuff you no longer use
  • Buy tools that are durable and the best that you can afford. You spend more now but they last longer.
  • Make gifts from your side hustle, hobbies (teas, jams, vinegar, herbs, tinctures).
  • Look at other means of exchange besides fiat.
