Is the Stuff You Buy Over 20 Years Worth 40,000 Hours of Time?
There are some simple rules my partner and I live by: buy implements&#x2F;tools that make life easier&#x2F;save time&#x2F;produce good results, avoid items used only or largely for signalling or which lack utility, buy quality so that the item will last as long as possible and will be a pleasure to use.<p>I&#x27;d say the easiest hack would be: stop signalling. You&#x27;re not your fucking Babushka dolls or Banksy print. You&#x27;re not the coffee style you drink or the coffee shop you drink it in. No one <i>gets</i> you by seeing what clothing you&#x27;re wearing, and anyone who is attracted to you because of those things will be toxic company.
