Draw the line. There is ALWAYS something better! {VLOG}

We have a problem in society. It’s called “upgrading.” We recently did a video about the upgrade psychology with technology.

And it takes a lot of gusto to throw that mindset in the trash and replace it. Everyone needs to draw the line and establish contentment with their life – and especially with what they HAVE.

The modern world wants you to buy more

If you’ve followed the NJroute22.com YouTube channel – you might know that we recognize that things today, for the most part, are crap.

Unless you pay top dollar – much of what you buy will stop working as intended.

This includes almost everything. Clothes. Food. Appliances. Electronics. Hardware. Tools. You name it.

The “products” that “consumers” have to choose from these days are literally DISPOSABLE.

There is no limit where greedy corporations will go to ensure they have repeat customers.

Appreciate what you have – and strive to live with less

The bottom line here is that the system is rigged against you and me.

If we allow it to be.

There are some instances, of course, where something better *might* net some measurable gains. Like faster, stronger, etc. In some cases – if those measurable gains resulted in more money, or saved time, perhaps they might be worthwhile.

In most cases – there is only the psychological perception that you improved something.

Finding value in what you have (and possibly the money you save) is another way to approach it. Especially if you can train yourself – say, to put the money saved into an investment.

By living without things – there plenty of silver-lining opportunities. Use your imagination to find them all. Such as more time, less complication, etc.

It’s natural to horde and over-consume. That is why finding contentment should be a top priority for everyone.
