dopamine hit from being like, no, I'm not going to spend that 20 pounds. Instead, I'm going to save that 20 pounds by not spending it.

And what is also interesting about this

is the cost of the pizza is not 20 pounds, right? The cost of the pizza is that 20 pounds invested in the S&P 500 over 30 years. So I think there is, again, this like, I think there's two things. One thing is a viral moment from just having how much money have you decided to not spend and how much is that money worth?

And I think just on top of that, I think there's a number of different movements that where anti-spend would actually be kind of interesting. So I think there's the fire movement, first of all.
