For those who actually like to be able to cut and paste text (cursed screenshots...always with the white background).
I must not buy. Buying is the purse-killer. Buying is the little-dopamine that brings total bankruptcy. I will face my wishlist. I will permit the limited time sale to pass over me and through me. And when it has expired I will turn the inner eye to see it's impulses. When the mania has gone there will be nothing. Only $ will remain.

For some reason I imagine Caleb Hammer screaming a response to this.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Wrong. I saved up for a house deposit and bought one a couple of years.

Clever. For me simply not being interested in buying stuff is sufficient.

Yeah the median house price is $1M where I am.
No bank would ever give me a mortgage that high on a single income, and no amount that I can save would ever cover the non-stop increase of property prices year on year.

You could just save money that doesn't get arbitrarily taken from you.

Sometimes, you gotta live your life and do some purchasing.

Don't buy a median house or move somewhere else then.
Here I often hear of people move to London "for the jobs" complaining they can't afford a house and they are working retail. Just move, you can get a retail job anywhere.

So what live a 3 hour drive from my workplace?
A retail job won’t afford me a bloody house and there’s like 4 cities in the whole country that you might find a job in.

I earn about the same amount a retail job would pay, I just have WFH. If I lost WFH which I might be then those retail jobs start to look tempting because a commute of 15 mins walking a day is better than 5 hours on trains and ferries.
