    Over-consumption loop.

    You work hard for money -> so you buy unnecessary stuff since you earned it -> you have no money -> you work hard for money…

    I have quit this loop by limiting my consumption to minimum. My friends ask me why don’t I buy X if I can easily afford it and it will make my life better. Well, not better enough to justify waste of both my money/time and Earth’s resources to manufacture something.

    Also over-consumption is a fuel to capitalist dystopia.

      While this is true, this is severely short sighted and misses the perspective of being impoverished and constantly being unable to make ends meet even after you have cut luxury from your life.
