Awww. When I was in high school, I snuck to the park with my friends to listen to DEAD HOUR(a music radio program) while sitting in the trees. I also made a ton of my own clothes.javaguru said:She followed the dead for a year after college selling smoothies.....worked on a commune after that.....
My dad is an attorney. He was a labor lawyer for about 20 years and then he crossed over to being a corporate attorney(the dark side, lol. It was always funny as a teenager. He would tell me not to smoke and then spend his entire work week in a different state representing a cigarette company.javaguru said:Her mother is an attorney that works for the NAACP and ABLE and her father a Poli Sci professor....they gave her shit for being materialistic....We were both happier when we were poor and just living together as college students....
You appreciate the little things when you're poor, you take them for granted when you have money and focus on all the wrong things IMO. In the army, a good nights sleep in a bed was the best feeling ever....layinback said:i usually agree with you and i always respect your opinion but i have been poor and i have been rich and rich is infinitely better. lol. assuming your internal world is in check.
that is a good point. i remember 18 yers ago, my wife was pregnant with our first child and we had a combined income of 35k!!! our life together was simple but lack of funds was an issue. when the money started flowing in the mid nineties life became more complicated and for a while i was overwhelmed. all of that has been straightened out as i have found balance and moderate amount of peace. money and all the ensuing material things are ok if one has balance and no attachment. sometimes i still pinch myself and say " is this real? did i do all of this?" but i swear, if it all disappeared tomorrow, i would be ok.javaguru said:You appreciate the little things when you're poor, you take them for granted when you have money and focus on all the wrong things IMO.

Exactly, why are you focused on making more money? Don't lose what you're working for because of the goal. I didn't develop any kind of relationship with my father until I went to college because he worked 6-7 days a week to provide for the family; I'm glad I made the effort.....myway said:
