[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What good is money if you can't enjoy it?[/quote] He uses his money so he can spend his time in ways [b]he finds more meaningful and enjoyable than being an an office/cubicle for 40+ hours a week.[/b]I agree-- I prefer finding a job that isn't a grind and then spending money on other things-- but i think what he says is interesting.[/quote] Like what? I admit I haven't read his blog, but, unless you are a "crazy scientist' who sits in his house all day trying to solve Fermat's theorem and finding it enjoyable and meaninful.. what does a 30-year-old dude with a family do all day that doesn't involve earning, or spending, money? I guess he could meditate all day, that's a time-consuming but free activity, but otherwise, I'm baffled.[/quote] I'm not trying to be rude, but this is quite possibly one of the most depressing things I've ever read. With those free ~40 hours a week(not counting the extra hours from commuting and unwinding) you could easily do most anything you wanted. A short list is as follows: [b]Exercise Read Spend time with your wife Spend time with your child(which all evidence says is far better than a pre-school of any price) Learn to cook food better than any restaurant(and cheaper and healthier) Learn a language Do everything on your to-do list Sleep in Learn to do anything you've ever wanted Hike Watch bad TV Watch good TV[/b] All of the above are easily done for cheap or free and should keep you quite busy for a very long time and I guarantee doing a few of them will make your life far better than sitting at work. And this is by no means an exhaustive list of free/very cheap activities. [/quote] You don’t have to quit your job to do these things! [/quote] No, but if you have enough money in the bank account, you can do more of the things listed above and you won't have to work.[b] Sad that someone can't understand a life without having to spend 40+ hours a week in an office[/b]. [/quote] Some people enjoy working! I’d go stir crazy being at home on a strict budget. I already get plenty of sleep, watch enough TV, cook plenty of meals and spend a lot of time with family.
