One last thing.

Marvin had created a new goal for himself. His goal was that he would only purchase one more thing. Marvin was growing old of the consumerist economy that he felt plagued the country he lived in. Marvin was completely content with everything he had. Why should he need anything else? He no longer wanted to fall into the purchasing pitfall that so many consumerists spend their lives trapped in. Therefore, he would purchase only one more quality thing. If he found himself wanting anything additional beyond this, he would learn a way to make it from things he already had. Not enough people knew skills like this anymore, he thought. Marvin thought the people around him were too comfortable making spending choices for mere convenience. “People are just too obsessed with living in comfort”, Marvin thought too himself. He imagined people would be much happier and healthier if they learnt to accept that comfort and convenience weren’t necessary to living a fulfilling life. This is why he would only be purchasing one more unnecessary expensive thing.
