minus-squareUsernameblankface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-211 months agoI’ve seen an apparently relatable video about spending cash on something, therefore your bank account doesn’t change so it feels free.

Credit cards are still the enemy because they delay the change in your bank account so that things feel like they cost less.
