frugal vs. External Validation

 Was;  Compassion for the Rich.
  E.V. is when you took the teachings of the system too seriously. Hint
; it was a  joke.
Ya know.  Get a good job that pays a lot.  Buy stuff and by all means
keep up with the "jones".
Conspicuous consumption and all that , On Credit.  and the old belief
that has fallen on hard times..... Have a plan for retirement.
The Rich bought into all this and more.  They valued themselves on how
they
"looked" materially .  And now...... Well, It's just Karma.
Hey, the brighter side of this..   They may lose some extra pounds of
weight.
T.G.I.F.

I have a lot of respect for _some_ rich people - usually the ones
who got there by being frugal. :)  Warren Buffett, for example, lives
in a house that's worth maybe $500K, or about 3-5 times as much as
mine - certainly a lot less than he could afford.

But most people I know who earn more than I do are jealous of me,
because although my multiple part-time jobs don't pay much at all,
they're insanely cool, and I'm doing them because I really _want_
to do them.

Follow your bliss.
then you won't have to "consume" to heal the wounds of doing a job you
hate.
