I'm doing a no buy challenge too, or you inspired me to do a no buy challenge. : 나도 무소비 챌린지 하고 있어. 아니면, 네 덕분에 나도 무소비 챌린지를 시작하게 됐어.

 

Having things that you are allowed to spend on, even splurge on, is really important. That’s because the dopamine hit you get from shopping is real. : 네가 돈을 써도 되는 것들, 심지어 돈을 펑펑 써도 되는 것들을 가지고 있는 것은 정말 중요하다. 그것은 쇼핑에서 얻는 도파민 자극이 실제이기 때문이다.

 

We’ve got to really rethink what it is we’re doing and what our intention is as human beings. : 우리는 우리가 하고 있는 것이 무엇인지, 그리고 인간으로서 우리의 의도가 무엇인지 정말 다시 생각해야 한다.

 

Alicia told her viewers she would make good on this moment by selling a pair of shoes she already had, a one-in-one-out policy, which will also bring in a little money, keep her on track financially. : Alicia는 시청자들에게 이번 결심을 지키기 위해, 이미 가지고 있는 신발 한 켤레를 팔겠다고 말했다. 즉, 하나를 새로 사면 하나를 처분하는 방식인데, 이렇게 하면 약간의 돈도 들어오고 재정적으로도 계획에서 벗어나지 않을 수 있다.

• make good on ~ : 약속이나 말을 지키다, 실행에 옮기다

 

Change is hard, it takes courage and failure is a part of it. Don’t worry if you break your rules; just keep going. : 변화는 어렵고, 그것은 용기를 필요로 하며, 실패는 그것의 일부이다. 네가 너의 규칙을 깨더라도 걱정하지 마라. 그냥 계속 가라.
