YES

Even though I understand the fleeting nature of material things, I still sometimes fall into the trap of buying stuff—believing it will bring me some kind of fulfillment.

More often than not, the excitement fades quickly, sometimes even the same day, and I realize that the thing I thought would make me happy was just another purchase.

I usually buy things with a clear purpose or good value in mind, but I still find myself questioning—did I really need that?

So, I’m working on shifting my mindset—learning to appreciate what I already have and being more intentional in deciding if I truly want something.

I actually put this into practice the other week. I was about to buy a Bitcoin clock for around 95k Sats, thinking it would add value to my life. But then I paused and told myself, “Yogi, you don’t need this. Just check your phone for the price and updates—you’ll be just as satisfied.” And just like that, I let it go. I haven’t thought about buying it since, and I feel completely content.

I USE TO SPEND RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON BUYING CARS - LIKE 2-3 PER YEAR.. I WORKED OUT IVE SPENT 3500BTC ON CARS OVER THE YEARS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.. BUT THE AGE OLD SAYING - EVERYONE GETS BTC AT THE PRICE THEY DESERVE.. I USE A CAR NOW THAT IS $4500 AND ITS PERFECTLY FINE…

3500 Bitcoin. Sheesh! Were they cool cars at least?

WILD

YEAH, PORSCHES AND BMWS AND MERCS - RANDOM SHIT BUT EXPENSIVE IN BTC TERMS.. I NOW HAVE A 1999 MITSUBISHI PAJERO. BEST CAR EVER. CHEAP ON GAS AND LOW PROFILE.. IF I HAD 3500BTC TODAY - I WOULD BUY MYSELF A TRUCK LIKE A F150/250 BECAUSE OF THE ROADS WHERE I LIVE BUT THATS IT.. LAMBOS AND FERARRIS ARE TERRIBLE CARS IN MY OPINION.. BEING 6FOOT7 ALSO DOESNT HELP HAHA!

YEA MAN DESIRES CAN IN-SLAVE A MAN FASTER THAN THE ENJOYMENT OF OWNING THE THINGS WE OWN OR WANT

ABSOLUTELY - IT WAS ALMOST LIKE AN OVERNIGHT CHANGE IN MINDSET.. EVERYDAY I SEE “COOL” CARS DRIVING AROUND AND IM LIKE 3BTC 5BTC 1BTC AND THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM ARE LEVERAGED TO THE ROOFTOPS WITH RIDICULOUS INTEREST RATES AND PAYMENTS..

Love it

Wants you start thinking in Sats, most things seem undesirable to own.

Just essentials with a bit of indulgence.

I think traveling and education is the best money well spent.

I spend money on books from Amazon monthly which is my biggest splurge…

Traveling not so much because I’ve been pretty much everywhere I’ve wanted to be and because I’m tall flying is extremely expensive and uncomfortable unless I’m flying business class.. I can’t justify the prices when I can rather just buy BTC..🤙🏻🙏
