How I'm told I should feel over having a charger in my room, the living room, my car, and at work, and trying to keep it that way when someone(almost never me) gives them away or loses them. If I give up on any, I'll soon have none, the way things work around here.

I think it's more about the very steep cost of air pods compared to, say, chargers. I think it's perfectly fine to have multiple, especially since they're usually used for charging multiple devices. Air pods aren't as universal.

Oh no, I don't get flack about this on the internet, from friends, workmates, clients or strangers. I'll leave it there though, with the exception that I don't buy any bricks or car-chargers besides the Anker ones anymore.

This last week I got some $60 3-in-1/"portable" non-sense for work. Open-box, but still, I've turned an un-healthy corner of leaning-into the character my family thinks I am in yet-another facet of financial-irresponsibility.
