Spending is a problem…💸

Back in the day, people saved for a little gift they wanted for themselves, they walked down to the store, and they bought it.

Nowadays little trinkets are too accessible to us, that “we like it we want it we buy it” mentality is what a lot people have.

Do you think the perpetuation of capitalism has increased people’s spending?
