>are you critically thinking about what what you have in your life and whether or not it was a good use of your time any money? Money itself is possibility. A couch is just a couch. But despite this being true, that doesn't mean the couch wasn't worth it.
Generally speaking, sure. In real life though, it's not just that people get a couch, or some things they need, or ocassional splurge into buying some things as an indulgence.
It's that for shitloads of people (and the whole culture) are getting centered around consumption, constant consumption of things and even content (doomscrolling), mere consumption replacing other life aspirations, experiences, and relations.
