00:00I need to talk about this under-consumption thing that I keep seeing on TikTok.
00:04Because here's the thing, I have never thought of myself as being an under-consumption person.
00:09I would actually say I'm an over-consumer. But as I see these people's videos, they'll show
00:14something and be like, this is all the makeup I have. And this literally is all the makeup I have.
00:20I only have one pair of tennis shoes. I have, I think, one, maybe two pairs of jeans. And
00:28I shop all the time. I am not an under-consumer. I think it's less of under-consumption and more
00:35of just being a normal person. It's a lack of over-consumption, I guess. Which maybe is the
00:41point. I guess the reality is, if we could afford it, we probably would all be over-consuming to
00:47the level that these celebrities and influencers are. However, we can't. If you are just a normal
00:53person, you cannot afford to have every color of every item in a makeup line. When you have money,
01:00you spend it on what you care about. So if I had money to buy designer purses and stuff,
01:08I would be doing so. And I think that's the same for a lot of you.
01:13But maybe I'm just missing the point.
