Savings. I started a few years a go when I got a pay rise moving jobs and I just started saving it. Now I have enough of a buffer that I don't need to buy credit cards as opposed to choosing to use a card, anymore.

Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a "super-industrial society". He argues that this change overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from "shattering stress and disorientation" - future shocked. Toffler argues that most social problems are symptoms of future shock. In his discussion of the components of such shock, he popularised the term "information overload."

The essence of comedy is to set an expectation in people's mind and then to hit them with something different such that the difference between their expectation and the new reality is made clear.

Generally it's one of the most effective and gentlist ways to take people from one viewpoint to another.
