Is being able to afford these things really not affecting anything?

Especially the pet sounds like quite a difference to me.

We already had a pet, so it was to make the pet happier, but it was a bad example.

For example in food you can buy the cheap tortured chiken or organicly grown outdoor chiken. It's still the same chicken. You just feel a bit better when you think about it.

Little improvements like this are a money sink and you can easily sink a 1000โ‚ฌ per month without really changing you everyday life.
