You know when you Google how to make extra money and one of the suggestions is “sell your stuff”. I always think that’s so stupid, how much money is a few random odds and ends ever going to be worth??(I don’t really have a lot of unnecessary items - grew up poor - financially well now but still thrifty!).
Seeing all their crap strewn about their house makes that make sense
actually a shocking representation of consumerism at its most desperate.

I think they were on the up back in the day when it was cooler to be spendy with makeup and trendy gadgets etc. but they’re type of lifestyle just isn’t aspirational to anyone these days.
They are always advertising ott cars, hanging around expensive coffee shops and downing vitamins by the handful just to feel better about themselves. So grim! It’s no surprise they’re unsatisfied and empty headed - they don’t want to be seen as materialistic but when you look at how they’ve struggled to de clutter its obvious materialism has been the driving force of their lives.
I suppose the way society operates is partly to blame and they got swept up in all the social media influencer stuff but they could at least stop acting like they know so much about well-being when they can’t even manage their own greed and perpetual dissatisfaction.
