Saving for months ≠ using money earmarked for necessary expenses. I saved for months to buy the parts for my PC, and all of it was discretionary income.
But I otherwise agree that you should not spend your necessary funds on unnecessary expenses.

This is like the fifteenth time I’ve seen this and it seems unique to Lemmy. You contradict their main point, but concede there is a reasonable undercurrent. I like this a lot. It makes the internet feel a lot less toxic.
Thanks to you and everyone else doing the same!

Reddit and much of the internet was like that a long time ago.

It’s just really refreshing instead some knee jerk, “You don’t know their situation shit for brains!” It’s measured to highlight a flaw in the core logic but civil in acknowledging the truth in the nuance. I hope we keep it! Lol.
