I often think about value for money and ponder how it all goes so fast and the feelings (if any) invoked by the act of spending or enjoying are generally brief. 100$ for a meal seems cheap to some, and expensive to others. I love fast fashion as much as the next fashionable gal, but wonder about the impact on the environment when items are intended to be disposable, and the impact on communities when hard working people can’t make enough to live a satisfying and fairly stable life, so I am consciously trying to ween myself off the immediate and transient thrill and commit to the hand made with integrity and enduring artifacts and experiences that can be passed on to my child.
