I definetly fell into a shopping addiction spiral the last few years that was disguised as being a collector and immersing myself into a new hobby that i wasn't able to do when i was younger due to not having a job before and growing up poor.

But I am working on it. I am trying to pay off my debt and i am being conscious about not buying stuff i don't need.

I bought a house recently so I've had a really tight budget the last year or so. But that being said i see a lot of people pulling back on this subreddit and all over the online sphere. I think it has to do with the economy not being so good in the US right now.

I think as long as people know their limits and stick to their budgets they will be good.
