    If these people were poor they’d be called hoarders. Overconsumption TikTok is an example of “what’s classy if you’re rich but trashy if you’re poor.” Hoarding

      So true omg, and interestingly enough I feel as though some people who didn’t grow up with a lot of financial resources/literacy tend to over-consume. But this likely comes from traumatic experiences in childhood (ie not having enough ‘things’ in general)

      Yup. I have been slowly purging through all of the stuff my mother accumulated during her lifetime. People have asked if it was a hoarding situation. The only reason someone wouldn’t call it hoarding is because she had enough space in her home to spread it out without it being too noticeable.
      Still hoarding though. When you see those giant walk-in closets of celebrities with two rooms full of clothes-more than any human could wear in an entire year-also hoarding. The difference is those folks can afford to pay someone to organize and do collections management, and/or have enough space to spread it out so no one calls a mental health professional. 😆

    The guest bathroom thing drives me crazy, because if I'm sleeping at a friend's (for a night or for a week or whatever), I'll bring my own toiletries? Like, I have my favorite brands, products that work for me, and also I'd never expect for these things to be provided for me. I'd expect there to be toilet paper and soap and towels.

      Attempting to commit fraud over a purse is wild, but I’ve know people who have done much crazier things for drugs, alcohol, sex, scratch off tickets, etc. This is peak shopping addiction. To the point you have to feed the beast daily to get that monkey off your back. Just one more hit…except in this case, the hit is a $500 purse. 🙃

    I think the "wanting your house to look like a store" came from shows like MTV Cribs and the Kardashians, when celebs showed their walk in closets which were designed so store-like. People saw it as aspirational and associated it with wealth, which they then wanted to emulate themselves.
    Also, propping things up like in a store is a tidy way to put the items on display. They love the stuff they hoard, so they want to see it, I guess.
    As for that phenomenon on TikTok, it makes sense that the stuff is put up that way because in the end, it IS a store when they make commission.

    I'm so glad you mentioned the scarcity mindset. A lot of times overconsumption is a symptom of an addiction to shopping which develops due to past traumas. Humans are constantly seeking security and when one purchases "backups", it artificially scratches that itch to feel secure and safe. It's crazy to think that our desire for emotional safety can sometimes be hidden underneath a pile of body scrubs or hand sanitizers. But of course, there is hope for all of us as we continue to learn and grow toward feeling complete in healthier ways.

      Out of curiosity, is there anything inherently wrong with flushable wipes in general or is it just the fact that these are individually wrapped and have a stupid name?? I personally find using dry paper to clean myself ineffective and kinda gross (no offense) so I’ve always opted for flushable wipes when possible but would never buy these individually wrapped ones or anything. If anything, I put a couple of my wipes from home in a baggy that stays in my purse if I really don’t want to have use toilet paper in public. I’d have a bidet in a second if I could but unfortunately I still live with family and the men in the house are of the belief that bidets would take their backend virginity or something, so I guess I’ll have to wait on that until I’m on my own.

      @dismurrart6648 Місяць тому +36

      @itseIv part of it was realizing that having less of something made me like it more. Have you ever had some self care thing become a chore? It's because you did it all the time and so it felt less luxe.
      I was eating so much candy for example that it stopped tasting as good and it wasn't even the treat I actually like. I want cake. So instead I made a cake once a week and cut it into "a slice I would enjoy eating " sized pieces and put them in individual containers. I gave the rest to friends or coworkers if i felt safe to. Then I let myself have a piece every day.
      I didn't stop for the morning donut or the 2 afternoon king sized candy bars because who needs lesser treats when the thing you love is waiting for you.
      At the same time, I worked on my emotions with my therapist and added in a gym class so I felt human connection.
      Eventually I wanted less and less of it so now it really is just a treat but if I was still eating a piece a day it genuinely would be fine because I wasn't eating in excess anymore.

In terms of gaming consoles, games, trainers (sneakers, im from the UK)....he has to have it. Whereas my childhood was different, I got toys and things but not all of the time and was encouraged to save my pocket money for things i really wanted if it wasnt near my birthday or xmas.

    Since I saw the Liquid IV in several videos - just want to point out that unless you are doing strenuous exercise, sweating a lot, in the heat, etc. an average person does NOT need to be consuming electrolyte beverages in this way, and certainly not just to sit on the couch and watch a movie. I think people have gotten the impression through marketing that electrolytes are like "healthier water" or just taste good, but that is not the case - they're designed for athletes or to replenish nutrients AND SALT from excessive sweating. And even in those cases, having more than one serving per day can be dangerous bc it can throw off your electrolyte balance which can cause serious health complications - so enjoy them if you want, but please do your research about whether it's right for you before consuming them, instead of just going based off the ads!

I don't view them as objectively "healthy" or "unhealthy," and more like an OTC pain reliever or cold medicine. For example, cold medicine might be make you feel better when you're sick, but it's not a multivitamin you want to take every day "just because."

    One thing that has been immensely freeing for me? I am on palliative care and finally got sick enough I had to step away from my clinical career, so I got rid of nearly everything and bought an RV. I have to really think about what I want, how beneficial it is, longevity, and where it will live. I’ve always been one to save money up for a purchase and choose a high quality item that will last me longer, possibly serve more than one purpose, not fall into gimmicks, which has definitely reduced consumerism and eco footprint. Also, buying quality and keeping that item for longevity saves money in the long run, is usually elevates above trends, and sometimes becomes a generational item! I have a tiny 5x5, temp controlled storage unit for books, storage tubs where we can swap out seasonal clothing, micro holiday decor, document safe, my specialty cooking things I may need because I still like cooking when I’m well enough, tools, that stuff. I live light and experience as much as I can!

    My two best friends come to visit every year from Mexico. I always ask them not to bring any toiletries to have an easy go through TSA but also my opportunity to gift them with goodies that they start using right away. We even give each other pajamas. They do the same for me as well. I get them things on clearance, sales. But they come and take them I don’t accumulate stuff. And I definitely ONLY do this for them. The rest of my guests get toilet paper, hand soap and clean towels. This overconsumption is getting ridiculous. I love your content so much.

If I were to stay at somebody else’s place, I might “expect” them to have basic shampoo and body wash, but I would totally be bringing my own skincare, makeup, even hair conditioner if I’m not sure if they personally use it. I don’t think anyone would expect to have all toiletries provided to them just because someone lends you a room. Plus, most people have very specific brands/products they are used to, so it’s just more cost effective and convenient for you to bring them yourself…? Is that abnormal in America…?

      Yes, once you get to a certain amount of followers, you get sent stuff for free. You can also request products from companies and they will send them to you for free as long as you make a video promoting it. Then you get a cut of the profit from sales. They can afford to have all this stuff because they don’t pay for it. So they get all the stuff for free + profit, while we get all the stuff and debt. They get richer through every sale while the consumer is still living pay-check to pay-check.

      It’s credit card debt most likely. They’re not budgeting, they’re just putting it on cards that they don’t have the money to pay. If you watch Caleb hammer, you see how the average American spends more than they have on BS.
      So yeah, it’s credit card debt unless these people are getting paid to overconsume/are sent the product for free. It’s certainly encouraging the viewers to go into credit card debt for the products they’re influenced to buy.

Honestly, it's a never ending cycle and even this video, along with others like it, are all getting attention, views and pay, for slamming those people.

    My hot take is that if you’re buying all these themed accessories and whatnot for a Stanley or whatever - start collecting dolls. What you want is to collect something and dress it up. Scratch that itch and then it won’t pop up everywhere else

      @@Shushu-sp5ke well I think anyone can do things in excess, and it’s not inherently wrong or bad. And collecting is over consumption to a degree, but usually it’s only that item. A psychological issue with this is that we are now treating everyday items as collectible, so it means that people will come up with every random thing to claim you “need” for it. AND we lose the reason why those things are made anyway (it’s much easier to make 20 shades of water bottles that people “HAVE to have” than create something that is meant to be collected and therefore only has, say 5 versions released each year). People who collect dolls are way more intentional in their collection. So while yeah overconsumption is a problem, I think the psychology behind it and how it continues to come up with new ways to shift our mentality to see life through capitalism is really important to remember here.

    I totally agree that there can be a backstory. My dad grew up in rather poor family, with lots of children, completely different times. They didn’t have fancy stuff, had food on their table but nothing special.
    Now my dad is over-consuming food. When he shops he tends to buy way more than we can eat. We had so many discussions about it but there is something in him that just makes him buying more and more just to keep the fridge completely full.
    I feel that older generation had to be smarter with money and didn’t allow kids much and now those kids are grown ups with money and they want to finally be in a power of getting whatever they want.

      This is exactly what I was going to comment! I feel like the over consumption comes from a scarcity mindset. I used to see this on tv years ago where people would buy things in bulk and would pretty much have stores in their garage. Like the amount of things they bought would be enough to last them in an apocalypse, and they would just restock, so they never really consumed everything. I find it just so crazy. They get a false sense of security from it

    Okay. I know I will be ridiculed for this, but I own a 40 Stanley cup that I use for water. The only accessories I own, and really use is a straw cover, and yes, the tray that fits on top. I fill one side with sunflower seeds, and leave the other side empty so I can put my shells in them. I guess I’m supposed to be embarrassed about this, but it is so handy for when I relax and watch tv, no 2 bowls to deal with, and the smell of sunflower seeds smell yummy as I sip my water. 😊. But yeah, hamburgers, fries, etc. is silly. The other accessories are eye-rollers for sure. I enjoyed your content! 😊❤

If you like your cup and enjoy using it, who cares what anyone else says or thinks? In all reality, overconsumption is a problem, but so is being judgemental about everyone and everything. Especially when at the end of the day, videos like this are being made and providing income for someone using the content from the people that are supposedly a problem. Anyway, cheers! ❤

They have so many dang deals all the flippin’ time so you always feel like you’re scoring big but then you end up with more lotions, creams, sprays, and body washes than you could ever use! Thankfully I’ve recognized my hoarding/stocking (lol) and have stopped spending. I’ve also shared my scores as gifts to friends and families and donating to my school’s (I’m a teacher) staff bathrooms and nurse to give to girls that may need it at home.

    I actually watched your video while declutering my wardrobe (underwear drawer included) and it felt so good, I finished it and went to my shoe closet do keep working.
    I don`t consider myself an overconsumer nowadays, and I`m definitely not a victim of those product trends - I hate Stanley Cups - but I did have a tendency to collect too many things to the point I started to feel like my house had a heavy energy and I wasn`t using maybe, what, 40 to 60% of what I had (between shoes, clothes, bags, make up, skincare products...).
    In the last years I`ve become a lot more conscious of what I buy, and everytime I organize my house, I see how much I already have. I`ve been trying to "shop my closet" every new season instead of actually shopping unless is something that I really need. Your video was great because you spoke about what I`ve been feeling and I think so many people would benefit from hearing this... This overconsumption is so bad not only for people`s finances (a lot of these people are spending way more then they can afford, for sure) but mainly, for their mental health... This is a serious problem with deeper roots. So, thank you for this great video! I hope more people watch it and that it helps them!

    As an ADHD dopamine seeker, I love shopping so much. I definitely have an unhealthy spending problem. My husband sat with me recently and had me read from my bank account so he could total it up, and gave me the amount I'd spent in the last two weeks, I was horrified. It adds up, one thing here, two things there, oh this is on sale, I love this color, boom an entire paycheck is gone. You lose track of it and it slips away from your control. Maybe you're getting the dopamine from buying, or maybe it's for the validation from others. It doesn't matter, it's a mental health issue that needs addressing that way, you can't just talk your way out of it. "I'll do better" is a great start but it's going to take more. I'm on that journey right now.
