    I don’t agree but you can either vote with your wallet or mindlessly consume.

    One is better than the other but yeah 80% of spending is not really discretionary… Gonna need to get a rental, gonna need healthcare, transports education etc

    But you can stop drinking soda for example… It ain’t much but it is something.

    People don’t have to pay subscriptions either…

      I … think i understand what you’re saying. You don’t agree with my definition of VWYW? I don’t wanna assume, but i think maybe you define it as reckless vs thoughtful spending?

      Mine has to do with the effectiveness of our purchases in driving market trends. They do not.

      You don’t have to buy a subscription to Netflix, but deciding not to isn’t changing anything for anyone (besides saving you 15 bux).
