There is are good reasons why the leisure class and the leisure class lifestyle exists. Conspicuous leisure and Conspicuous consumption serve specific purposes. Look them up. The problem is most ppl get introduced to the lifestyle, with some half baked, to non existent idea about the purposes, and even lower awareness of their own needs/goals. If you are clear about what your needs/goals are, and how these processes help you get to them, then automatically behavior is regulated. Cuz it becomes clear - I need to do x to get y. Do I need to do more than x? Not really and I could be doing z in that time to speed up getting to y instead. So a limit appears. But for ppl who adopt the lifestyle and are not clear about what they want or where they are heading, these limits wont appear its easy to fall into mindless routines. It wont matter what tactics anyone suggests to survive the lifestyle if you if you are not clear what Needs/Goals of yours it meets.
