Have you ever noticed that what you consider to be “normal” can change with time? A common example of this is lifestyle creep—as your income increases, previous luxuries become necessities. You get used to having more and more until you can’t remember how it used to feel to have less. This is definitely one reason why you might struggle to feel satisfied with what you have but the good news is you can reverse lifestyle creep. If you gradually start buying less and less new things, this will eventually become your new normal. In fact, as a reformed shopaholic, I can absolutely confirm that eventually wanting more will start to feel strange! You can definitely normalise living with less.
