Problem is not mongering, problem is *addiction*
Addiction of any type is harmful.
Problem with most people is they don't have control over themselves.
There's a saying by Will Smith,
"You cannot win the war against the world,if you cannot win the war against your own mind."
What my philosophy is,treat mongering in life as salt in food.
If I were to explain it using an analogy then it would be like,if you add a pinch of salt (Right limit) in food,it tastes good.
If you add more salt than required,it tastes bad .
If you don't add salt at all,food becomes tasteless.
Same goes for mongering in life,we have to set certain limits and allot certain days of week,carry cash only what is required,etc.
I, myself when I had some important stuff to do in life and wanted to stay away from distractions so uninstalled Tapatalk app and deleted all chicks numbers from my phone.
Regarding Gf/Wife I can say, I'm in the same boat as you are,but there's difference between love and lust.Love can't be forced,it has to be both ways,needs commitment and lots of responsibility or else it can result in a bad marrage and a headache for lifetime.Lust can be satisfied through money anytime.
