I’m based in an affluent country and whilst I feel tremendous empathy for those in Argentina and other parts of the world experiencing hyperinflation and/or oppression regimes. I’m finding it hard to muster up too much compassion for the 20yr olds in my country who are complaining about the lack of affordability of housing whilst simultaneously sporting the latest iphone, catching Ubers wherever they go and eating out every day…

I say all this typing on my hand me down iPhone 7. Not because I can’t afford a new iPhone but because I choose not to be frivolous with my money… even the trashy kind of money.
