Consumption rule

And the stuff there is generally good quality, since it has been used and not fallen apart for being cheap shit.

I've exclusively bought clothes, furniture, kitchenware etc. second hand for about 10 years now and everything has been cheaper and so much nicer and better quality than anything I could buy new.

Wait people need more than 6 pairs???

I'm god damn shoe obsessed and I don't have that many. I got:

-Sports shoes

-Work shoes (thick, leather, sturdy)

-Fancy boots (black)

-Fancy boots (white)

The only boots I ever got purely to match was the two pairs of black and white fancy boots. Which is more than enough to be complimentary to any wardrobe depending on if I use brighter or darker colors. What more could you need? Two pairs of sports shoes? Two pairs of work shoes if you wanna be extra? But even that only brings you up to 6 and I can't fathom needing more.

Like I consider myself a shoe obsessed woman. I pride myself in my silly little stompers yet I can't imagine owning more then 6 at a time. Unless you count during my lifetime because yeah boots got replaced as old ones wore out. I needed to replace the white ones as they literally fell apart, went through several rounds of work and sports shoes too.

Apparently I own 13 pairs of shoes. Damn.

I used to be way more consumer-y and I've been slowly reforming my ways. Case in point, two of those pairs are old running shoes repurposed into general beaters, and 10 of them were purchased 5+ years ago.
