birthday overconsumption is *ACTUALLY* out of hand

Birthday culture has gotten out of hand. Especially when it comes to gifting and the constant need to be buying things for one’s self on their birthday or in their birth month just “because it’s my birthday”. But why has this language become the norm? Why are these wants seen as a need? Is it normal to go into debt for your birthday? All of this and more will be discussed in today's video! The videos I am showing in this are longer than usual as I feel it was important to share the repeated language. With that being said, you can always refer to the timestamps below to sipped up the video! Thank you so much to the person who asked for me to talk about this!
