😊 Great post! 🙌 You're spot on about how financial systems can perpetuate inequality and encourage people to spend more than they earn. It's so true that many of us get caught up in consumerism without even realizing it, and before we know it, our hard-earned money is going towards things that don't truly benefit us.

I'd love to hear from you - how do you stay mindful of your finances and make choices that align with your values? What are some strategies you use to avoid falling into the trap of consumerism?
