A lot of people are too scared to let go of the paper chase, and too scared of people thinking they are a loser if they don't have more money than everyone else. I'm remembering the saying about "spending money you don't have on things that don't matter in order to impress people you don't like...." This post is the coolest thing I have read for a while!

Not sure yet, but the thought certainly is tempting.

My dad supports nobody but himself, so that's his situation. Yours is obviously different... and remember, plenty of people DO want expensive lives! It's just that there are also a bunch of people who DON'T really want expensive lives... but think that they do . Well, it ultimately comes down to what you want and need.

I watched Michael Moore's “Sicko” the other day for the first time. And it got me to thinking about our entire system in the United States – we don't have guaranteed health care, we don't have free child care, and we aren't sure if we'll have enough to live on when we retire. Heck, folks don't even know if they'll have their job of 20 years when they wake up tomorrow.

So, we are all living in this state of “Do I have enough?” “Will I have enough?” And ironically, we buy stuff and get mortgages and invest in income properties and 401K plans to feel safe and secure. But, it's all B.S. because as the current economy shows, everything can blow up at any time.

By simplifying and getting clear on what we really want, we can have a business that supports it. And we can get out of debt, we can have a decent income, and we can even sock a little away. But we can stop making ourselves crazy with the debt. I gave up credit cards last year. And I am continuing to get clear on the things that I truly desire in my life.

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:31:34 +0000 http://www.projectmojave.com/blog/?p=1997#comment-10993 Very good post, very relevant to someone who wants to pursue a career in the arts like me, but has a day job. I think it's a bit more complicated when you have a family and child to support, especially as a woman. Me and my family recently moved to a much better place with a beautiful ocean view. We have to pay $300 more a month in rent, but it's totally worth it, compared to where we were living before. So can I just chuck my day job and live on next to nothing to pursue my art? Not yet. I haven't given up on finding a solution, though. Thanks for the inspiring story about your dad.
