I am being forced into social security because I have autism + anxiety and still live with my parents, the money they'll give to me isn't to be used on anything fun. How do I stop being materialistic so I can prioritize things I need before I am able drive in order to get a full time job in order to be able live with myself.

Material things I want include:
>Media (Music, films, books, etc.)
>Elaborate ingredients for dishes
>T-shirts
>Amazon rime membership

focus on things you can do that don't make you spend money negatively. learning a new language, stocks (if invested right), school, etc.

Structure your time around things that cost little to nothing: An exercise routine, a diet based on nutrition rather than entertaining your taste buds, time in nature, digital books and movies from the usual sites, no vidya. Also, you don't need a car (no, no buts, you don't need one).

I should add that a desirable 'compromise' is to learn to cook. A stir fry, for example, can be both nutritious, enjoyable and relatively cheap.
