I have to do my own shopping so I can't really avoid it.
I do wish two things:
Steem was worth far more than what it is, even if it was on par with the $US (like SBD was supposed to be) I'd be happy because I could start to do stuff with it in a meaningful way.
Steem could be used to purchase goods and services either on my phone or my Ipad wherever there was a paywave function (somehow linked to Keychain for security).
It makes an excellent use case.
So, I go to a Steem meet up, have a few drinks and decide to buy a burger with Steem. I take a few photos, write a quality post or make a video about it, it gets upvoted and things start paying for themselves.
This is more about me needing to be a bit more disciplined with my finances, and this includes Steem too.
