Oh I totally agree about advertising. My comment wasn’t well thought out.

I guess I mean it’s more about not building wealth: go live your life, don’t save for a pension. Don’t strive for a bigger house to build roots and a family, just rent one in a cool city and have fun! Don’t buy a car outright and maintain it like your fuddy duddy parents, just lease one and be happy.

Still a badly thought out comment I’m afraid but I can’t quite put my finger on it




This is almost like you're saying the same thing as me. We, the advertisers, can make more money from you if you lease your car instead of buying it, if you rent your apartment instead of buying a house, if you spend everything instead of saving for retirement.

So maybe you're seeing a sub-species of the broader thing I'm seeing.


My dad's been telling me that exact thing, which is weird as hell.
