“Working all your time away to afford to buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like”.

Before 1999’s “Fight Club” the book Your Money or Your Life talked about a recipe for burnout and unhappiness.

🗣️ Working away all your time to afford to buy things we don't need to impress people we don't know or like. - A rough quote from Vicki Robin

The quote, though, was popularized by Chuck Palahniuk via his character Tyler Durden:

🗣️ We buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like. - Tyler Durden
