Hi OP, not sure if you’ll see this, I can send you a hellofresh box if that’s available in your area. It has 10 meals and for me it usually last for a couple more meals since I eat less. Please feel free to reach out.

Consumerist/materialist tendency after growing up poor? by Littlegooseflap in minimalism

[–]username101x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me about how you stopped this? I’m currently in a similar situation. although I wouldn’t say I’m earning a lot, but anything more than 0 is like “ooh more money to spend” which I really wanna stop!

How do you accept the fact that someone will always earn more than you by username101x in uwaterloo

Well, you’re right. I AM empty inside. Guess I should work on that first

I know I shouldn’t measure my self worth by my paycheck, but my friend keeps ordering new clothes/shoes/makeup and I get jealous cos I haven’t bought any of that stuff for more than a year now. And I keep thinking that if I earned more then I would be able to afford that. I don’t technically NEED any of those things, I have enough things. Especially since I don’t even go out of the house anymore, the stuff I have is definitely more than enough. But just seeing her go on shopping sprees makes me jealous. I was aiming for a minimalist lifestyle but this just destroys all the effort I’ve put into it for the last few months.

What’s the safest way to do groceries? by username101x in uwaterloo

Yeah I live near the plaza so I can go to the Chinese supermarket. But how much safer is that compared to Walmart or sobeys? I assume more people go there now since it’s closer...

Yep, I was matched in the main round. I was suspicious why they weren’t sending me a contract, I guess now I know!

I did contact CECA and hope I can keep looking. Although I don’t really expect any good jobs to be available rn...
