Is it like hoarding frequent flyer miles, where you get really scared of using your accumulated wealth because then suddenly you have to face a statement with a balance of zero, which seems like you’ve just taken a step back in life?

And another thing: when I make my own home version of a latte, I use organic milk, because in the nonfat version, it has more taste than the watery regular milk. But why does the container have a label on top, boldly demanding that I shake it well before pouring? What kind of residue am I stirring up anyway?
