There is a kind of post you find online where somebody, usually standing in front of a whiteboard, tells you how much you are actually spending on coffee. They tell you to cancel your subscription, stop going on that holiday, and work a few more hours. 'Stop spending so much. Start saving more, and you can buy a house just like I did.' And while that may be true, according to Karl Marx, there is a hidden and deeper price you have to pay.  Marx argued that any system that forces us to cut down on our spending is also forcing us to cut down on who we are. Because when we have to give up books, or seeing a movie, or going to the pub with friends, or getting dinner with your family, or travelling the world, we give up on a version of ourselves. These are not disposable luxuries. They are the only way we have of expressing and becoming who we are.  The difference is not between short- and long-term goals. The difference is between living and alienation. Because even if you reach your capitalist Shangri-La, living in your penthouse apartment with your glass office, and driving your fast car, the person walking the street in that swanky suit will no longer be you. Having to constantly minimise and suffocate what you enjoy means you end up destroying who you are.  So, of course, save. Be frugal. Be parsimonious. Be thrifty. But remember Marx's warning: Not all luxuries are disposable. Where you spend your time, and where you spend your money, is a reflection of who you are and who you want to be.
