Consumerism mindset is difficult to get rid off.
They might just want to enjoy their hard earned money, rather than save it for later.
I'm not saying this is correct and everyone should just buy anything they want from their hard earned money.
Sometimes, it's just hard to resist temptation.
Finland is bringing in new laws for sales in 2023 that says that anything on sale has to also show the lowest price it has been in the last 30 days, to better inform consumers
How will Finland government implement this?
Seems like a good idea if implemented correctly. Maybe I can suggest this to our legislatures as well.
People can do as they please with their money, but then it is hard to justify the complaining when that money is gone and they need it for something else - like utilities. I know people who are struggling to pay their mortgage, yet are surrounded by the latest gadgets constantly.
They make it a a law - people do it. One of the things that Finns seem capable of is following laws.
I laugh at their faces when they try to ask for money as they do when I don't join their social climbing just to show off money. Especially when they wouldn't sell their gadgets to cover their money shortage. Good times
Oh wow. It's easy to make laws there. Here, I usually ask how they will implement and enforce it since people usually push to the limits.
