I am a pretty consumerist person. If I had a choice between working-little-and-having-little, and working-a-lot-and-having-a-lot, I'd choose the latter.

I didn't choose the above attitude consciously per se, but thinking about it in retrospect, I'm comfortable with it. I have a lot of product-category-choices that make little sense to someone unwilling to spend $1000 on a phone: wool underwear, an Onyx Boox Max 2 (wonderful device), an Urbit star. I don't spend money pragmatically.
