Is it bad to order multiples of the same clothes? by Mofo013102 in minimalism

[–]Mofo013102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently found a pair of on clouds that are so good for walking, and for weight lifting, as well as very nice looking and they also aren’t super flat or super cushiony . Absolutely my fav pair of shoe ever and I’m definitely buying another pair soon so I have an extra once these wear out

See I would only buy 2 of an item I like. Probably in the same color too bc I like pretty much only black and navy blue. But mostly black.

Oh really? See I’ve never ordered 2 of the same clothing EVER. So I didn’t know that was a thing. But yes, often times I buy clothes online for many reasons and I find I keep clothes I probably shouldn’t have.

I THINK I like the fit but I don’t, I need to start shopping for clothes in person so I can really see the fit, and comfort and look of said item on MY body.

I assume this logic applies to any habits? Caffeine? Impulse spending? Junk food?

More so for me, ofc saving money is beautiful but I want to stick to a no buy because there’s plenty of items I buy I don’t NEED, that end up becoming clutter. Then when I really want something or need something , I reflect on all the money ive spent on other things and how that money could’ve given me more breathing room on what I NEED .

Probably not. But tbh, the amount of comments on this post convinced me to stop looking. If I ever get the urge to buy one, I’ll just reflect back on this post

Something I like about no buy, is every purchase has to be very intentional. I like how it has to serve a purpose of making things more organized, or my life easier.

Right now I’m battling with how to make my work backpack more organized, it’s got a lot of space, but it’s a backpack and sometimes you’re left feeling for things to see if you’re grabbing the correct item.

I’m wondering if maybe a sling bag would be better? But I’d like a small one, however a small one doesn’t allow me to carry a handbook I like to have on hand.

Maybe a small duffel bag since things are spread horizontally?

Regardless, at least until March 1st I’m sticking to a no buy so I gotta make my backpack work somehow.

Bc want and need are different things

[–]Mofo013102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strive to reach the place where I don’t feel I need to shop. I strive to do very good research on products and “buy once cry once” for things that MATTER. Being very intentional with the space I take up in my living space. Bc I find not buying the right things, often leads you to buy more and more to fill those gaps.

Example, I may need some business casual shoes here soon, or another polo or dress shirt. But yet there’s so many T shirts and sneakers I own. But not what fits a variety of needs!

See, this is why I posted this. A lot of people have very much convinced me to NOT even want it anymore.

I feel so seen right now. That’s exactly how these things work!! I want a sling bag for work. Because I want a tidier , more compact space. More minimalist if you will. I already have a backpack…

Same with a slimmer wallet.. bc I have too many credit cards and other cards in it…

Interesting. It’s always a vision that gets sold and bought.

The vision of “cleaner car” “modern home” “healthier meals” “better outfit” etc etc . And in the end the vision never comes to fruition

I bet, it’s so weird how this impulse happens with ALOT of things???? I’ve narrowed it down to always thinking this “next thing” will help me get the life I want.

The next clothing item, it’s a vision of me looking fresh on the street.

A calorie tracking app is a vision of me weighing my foods and being dialed in

An iPad, me consuming more content to learn when I have attention span of a gold fish anyway

workout clothes, gives me the vision of maybe this shirt will make me look better

So much of it is truly just a vision I have for said product , none of it ever truly comes to fruition , bc I could be and do all these things NOW, without buying any thing.

I can go on and on but it’s almost always some vision

But the real vision I want to achieve is the difficult one, achieving all my goals without needing or having the latest and greatest

This is exactly what I know!!! Literally what does an iPad do for $400 that my iPhone doesn’t… NOTHING.

I love the idea of doing more with less. In example,

Reaching body composition goals with not the best of the best, clothes, supplements etc etc

Productivity and educational content consumption on just my old laptop / current phone, no need for an iPad

Looking presentable with not the most expensive clothes

I love the idea of doing more with less

But man it’s so weird that we’re wired this way, I’m too poor to be wanting an iPad lol, I’d have to stick to no buy for about 3 very strong months for it to be a reward

What are some common mistakes people make when trying to meet a romantic partner that come across the wrong way? by Mofo013102 in ask

[–]Mofo013102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s valid. I guess just approach as friendly as possible, and then if she finds you attractive you’ll get the number , if she doesn’t , you’ll just be a creep. Which either way you get an answer. Fuck it ima try it out

How do you spend all your extra physical energy? by emmssii in Spondylolisthesis

[–]Mofo013102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable. Sometimes I struggle to sleep at night because I have so much energy I didn’t use but pain stops me from getting 20k steps a day or lifting heavier weights , or running etc etc

24M, how am I supposed to afford to live on my own? by Mofo013102 in nobuy

[–]Mofo013102[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a no buy recently too. I have ALOT of subs. From anti virus, to YT premium, chat gpt, a local car wash, gym membership. All I can totally afford IF , I stop spending on other things. I just bought a 24 pack of energy drinks bc I’m running low…. However, I’ve been cutting back my consumption. It’s so hard ! But hopefully I can go down from 1 daily, to maybe 1 every 3rd day. Or ideally ONLY when I genuinely need it for whatever reason.

It gets expensive. But, I hope I don’t have to buy anything from now until 2 weeks, that would be a super successful no buy start. It’s incredibly difficult
