Consumption in general is a gradient though

It's like sugar, you get a hit, energy, then it fades, and you're chasing that micro high

That's consumption. We're all guilty of it one way or another, anything you don't need or higher priced than the value it brings us is on one end of the spectrum, and it gives you a fake high while delaying your financial independence

We should strive to feed this system as little as possible, it does not benefit us.
