How on earth can you possibly spend so much on random consumer products sold on Amazon? Are people really buying so much junk that it costs more than most peoples yearly salaries?

Live in a remote place. Own a business. Have more people than yourself to support. You get there pretty quickly.

I spend about $20k on personal items only (no business).

On Amazon? Are you buying jet skis on the site? I don't understand how someone can spend so much in a year on Amazon.

I have a friend who buys nearly everything aside from perishable food via Amazon because they will put it directly on his porch and he doesn't have to go to a physical store. I laughed when he told me it was cheaper to have 50 lbs of cat litter delivered to his porch via Prime than to drive across town to the Walmart.

Whole Foods is another one I have gone from super fan to hating. Every time I shop there now is compounding failures of poor stock consistency, more online order shoppers than actual customers clogging the isles, and overall drop in quality
