I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?

People buying every shoe color in order to match all the time? I don't mean like 3-6 pairs.

Apparently I own 13 pairs of shoes. Damn.

I used to be way more consumer-y and I've been slowly reforming my ways. Case in point, two of those pairs are old running shoes repurposed into general beaters, and 10 of them were purchased 5+ years ago.

I have sizes 47 and 48 pairs of shoes. Not used as it was very large for my feet, which is technically 44-45 when I received shoes that belonged to my late American uncle in September.
