People are going to realize how much of their spending was unnecessary. For example, did I really need to be going to coffee shops 5x or 6x a week? Dining out every other meal? It's healthier for me and my wallet to make this lifestyle change... covid accelerated it. I should've done it anyway.

It's the frivolous activities that make life worth living.
