Yeah, I totally agree with the materialism thing. Admittedly, I'm constantly looking for deals, but if anything, just getting the package is more exciting than the actual thing. I got quite a few gadgets this quarter, from a new laptop, a kindle touch, and now I'm thinking about getting a smartphone >_>.
Although I think there's a difference between being materialistic and saving a lot of money. I was so cheap in terms of spending money on food before I had a job that I feel like it got to the point where I was sacrificing social life to save an extra few bucks. I think money spent with/on/for community is a good thing...I guess the same with time spent with community.
But yeah...let's stop buying useless stuff. Even my roommate stopped using his iPad.
My uncle has a cheap man, but when he buys, he buys quality. I like that. If you don't need to buy, don't buy. But if you need to, buy the best. (not to say that you should spent $1000 on an hdmi cable.
Good night.
$1000...that HDMI cable better be made of chocolate, be edible, and work as a cable all at the same time...
