Buy nothing?

Seems there is a trend this year not to buy anything but essentials. Good idea if you have CC debt.  As we get older, not much we really need anyway.

Instagram, TikTok and other social-media sites are usually overwhelmed by people showing off what they bought. This year, people are pivoting to something else: displaying how they’re buying nothing.
The “no buy 2025” trend encourages people to purchase as little new stuff as possible. Some people make lists of specific items they won’t purchase, while others vow not to buy any nonessentials.
