I was 8.
allowance was still new.
I got $1 / week I could spend on whatever I wanted.
At first, I spend it on candy, but then I found that I didn't really need that and I could just save it and buy something I really wanted.

Well ok I never stooped to the level oh look meme product I must have that shit.

But I was the type who would replace a 5-6 year old product which works fine and does everything require of it only because i was "bored" with it. That was still consumerist whoring though

once I got my Thinkpad X60

Nothing beats its high build quality.
GNU/Linux works perfectly.
No gaymes, sorry (((developers))).

I stopped staying up to date with the latest tech because I suddenly had my needs met.
I no longer needed the "new and improved" all of a sudden I found that I was not lacking. I saw through the implicit assumption in the advertising:
>You can be happier if you give us money
No ty, I control my happiness and I have set it to max.
