  • That is true, and I used “bank account” as a stand-in for what I really meant, which is “financial options”. By not spending money, you have the insulation of not panicking when expenses come up, you have more general leverage over your life, and you get the peace of mind that comes with it. Of course, there are better places to PUT it than a bank account.

    It’s also a virtuous circle… if you don’t spend, you don’t have as much financial stress, which means you need less distraction to take the pressure off, which means you spend less money on things you don’t really want, which means you save more.



  • You’re missing the fifth panel where it doesn’t bring the joy she thought it would even after she comes to terms with having spent the money.

    It’s okay to spend money to be happy.

    It’s also okay to sit there with a full bank account, reading a library book, and smiling about how the marketers didn’t get you this time.
