    Joke is Black Friday deals are more expensive than other times of the year.

    You should have laws against that

    Michael Hill advertised a “Member Event 25% off Sitewide” sale on its website, implying that all products sitewide were discounted by 25% for members, when some products were not discounted.

    MyHouse promoted their sale with ads stating “Up to 60% OFF RRP EVERYTHING ON SALE“, followed by “+EXTRA 20% OFF”. The ACCC considered this misleading as the additional 20% off did not apply to all products.

    Hairhouse Online’s “SAVE 20% to 50% SITEWIDE” promotion was misleading because more than a quarter of the products available on its website were excluded from the sale offer.

    Ensure discount claims are genuine: Only advertise discounts where products have been genuinely offered at the higher price for a meaningful period. Avoid creating artificially inflated “was” prices solely to support discount claims. This also applies to displaying the RRP price next to a discounted price – if the product has not recently been sold at the RRP price, this could be misleading.

    Document pricing decisions: Maintain records of previous pricing to support any discount claims and demonstrate compliance with ACL requirements.

    What is the point of so much unlimited everything when we are limited ourselves? No one can “reap” all the benefits so what’s wrong with taking it easier?

    We do take it easier though, unfortunately the average person is unaware of how much more difficult life was 100 years ago so we can’t compare. I wouldn’t want to go back to even the 90’s, pre-fibre internet, slow computers, no spotify, I love listening to music so I had to wake up at 7am in the morning on Saturday to listen to the music TV show. I had to listen to the friggin radio man! It sucked!

    Is more really better or just different?

    We have different challenges living as kings and queens than we do before but we really are in a much better place than even 30 years ago, pre-smart phone, pre-computer, pre-wikipedia, pre-google

    An example is obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger because we have access to so much cheap great tasting empty calories

    But it’s certainly better to be obese than starving, you can stop being obese by simply working on yourself, can’t really do much about starvation if you’re poor and can only afford 1 meal every 2 days.

    The other issue is the rise of social media and the infected spreading doomerism (see: this thread as an example), doomerism spreads faster than positivity, in the same way people prefer to read about bad things happening than good.

    OP is rather clearly expressing that people do it as a means to increase their wealth specifically

    Good for them?

    he didn’t use that money to live a lavish lifestyle but instead used it to fund more projects that he was interested it

    Good for him?

    Nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to buy a lambo, if you want to FIRE or become a power lifter or do something else go for it

    It’s ultimately about effort, easiest example is people who spend 2 minutes a day on Duolingo and expect to become fluent in their chosen language and those who grind it out and spend hours a day working on it because they want it.

    You may not necessarily enjoy it but you do it, it goes back to discipline etc last post here

    No matter how hard you grind, minimum wage is minimum wage and inflation is inflation.

    This makes no sense, if you are grinding you should be improving, I have no idea how you got the idea that grinding means working 80 hours a week in a shit job to go no where.

    This is like pre-grinding: aim higher than a minimum wage shitjob? who seriously aims this low?
