If you don't have the money to spend on frivolous things like shoes
, spend it on something else. But spend it! Set aside some money, just some, as much as you can spare in good conscience, to spend on things! Think of it as spending money on a startup business to maintain it before it gets up off the ground. The business is, providing people with jobs. Therefore, spend money to make money, and start propping up that business. Hording all your money means nobody gets anything. Contributing to other people's business will soon allow them to contribute to yours.
