My wife and I both like to shop, especially online shopping, because online shopping is much better than the physical store experience, after all, no matter how you choose online, you will not be bored by the clerk or the boss, and there is no worry about returning goods if you are not satisfied. Don't worry about buying fakes, if the merchant dares to make a fake, you dare to return it, the return is free, what are you afraid of.
But I gradually felt that I really didn't know what to buy anymore, and I had several copies of many things at home, and I didn't know what to buy every time. In fact, many of the things my wife bought were never unpacked and unpacked, and even she forgot what she bought, and the administrator of the courier storage knew about her.
In a word, there is a serious overconsumption in our family. You may think that we buy so many things, is it very rich. Actually, no, we are just proletarians. It is a real proletarian.
I'm not joking if there is overconsumption by the proletarians, but maybe people don't understand that since they are proletarians, the money they come to consume? On this subject, I can only rely on myself to read some books. I would just like to add here that the proletarians, the small producers, are at the bottom of the group.
It is precisely because we are at the bottom that there is overconsumption.
The consumption of the proletarians, because it cannot rise to the level of small producers and propertied people, is repeated at the lower levels, and therefore surpluses.
The consumption of the proletarians is the real consumption, and the consumption points are less, and the spending of the proletarians is the real spending of money, and the money spent will not come back in a roundabout. For example, I buy rice, I buy a car, I buy clothes, I buy a mobile phone. I only buy these consumer goods, my cousin is different, he is a small producer, there is a big gap between what he and I buy, he buys soybeans, he doesn't eat them, he sells tofu, he buys a tricycle, I don't buy it because it's ugly, he buys it and cherishes it, he uses it to pull tofu and sell, he also bought a large grinder a few years ago, this thing takes up space, I smell the oil and I feel disgusted, I definitely won't buy it, he bought it to grind beans to make tofu. My cousin also buys rice, buys a car, and has a mobile phone, his mobile phone is not as good as mine, but his mobile phone is strong, loud, and fontal, and my cousin sells tofu to collect money.
I am very aware of my overconsumption, and I understand that I can only break through this excess by going up to the level of my cousin. At that time, I will save money and buy things that can make money, and in order to make more money, I will expand my horizons and pattern, so as to drive more diverse and fresher consumption. So, I discussed it with my wife.
I said, "Let's buy a tricycle too, and if you buy it, you can drive it to sell vegetables, and we can't finish our food."
My wife said: I don't want to sell any vegetables, we can't finish our dishes, let's give them to the chickens.
I said, "What's the use of feeding chickens, they don't lay eggs, they don't sell chickens." We also buy some machinery and equipment, production tools, and in the future, we will produce and sell our own products, and I will never have to go out to work again.
My wife said, "What do you produce?" Let's start from scratch, what experience is not, how can we compete with others, open a store designated to lose money, run a factory and have no capital, I don't even have a place to buy small things now, do you still want to buy a machine, put **? What's more, we can't afford to rent the land now. You'd better work steadily.
I said, "Why don't we buy a transport drone, maybe we can still be a plane in the sky, I heard that that thing can carry people." Others use it to make money, and we play with it.
My wife said: That's just a toy, you can't make much money with it, we can't afford to play with it if it's too big, and we'll get tired of playing with it if it's too small. If you want to buy it, you can buy it, anyway, you can't do big things, and small things don't feel interesting. With our spending power, we are trapped here.
I said, "My cousin graduated from junior high school, how big do you think they are doing now?" Why can't we?
My wife said: Now the diploma is useless, don't say how good your cousin is, he is now investing money in, tofu is sold, it is not too late to make money and show off, my uncle is so capable, opened so many food processing factories, isn't it easy to do now? It's good that your cousin can keep going, and people won't tell us if he loses money.
My wife didn't agree with me making a status jump, but I couldn't think of any way to make the jump. What I am trapped in is that it seems to be a problem with money, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with money, there are more people than we have money, and they may have exceeded the threshold of overconsumption. But trapped in the cycle of investing, making money, investing, making money, and entering another dead loop.
Perhaps money is the real culprit, and overcoming spiritual poverty requires getting rid of excess money first.
