RE: Time And Money

in Reflections11 months ago

Interesting and inspiring read Erika. I´m with you on the "no subs team". I mean technically as some of the apartments that we rented in various places came with the bonus of prepaid Netflix but I didn´t pay that myself, it was a part of the rent :) However, I cannot really agree with you on the statement that people can never have enough money and / or time in their lives. This is the typical mindset / mantra of the "rich" cultures, mostly Europe, US etc. But when you "venture" into some other parts of the world, like Africa, Latin America or some Asian regions, you will see people who are perfectly happy with little to no money and the time that they are left with after they finish their work or whatever it is. When I lived in Latin America, my lifestyle, way of thinking and pretty much everything was very different too. Here in Europe (at least Western, Central and Northern Europe), the environment that we created is very competitive and stressful, kind of forcing you into the rate race. I don´t like it and honestly, I have been having a hard time fitting back into what people consider the norm here. Anyway, just my two cents. And some TipU cents hehe :)

This depends heavily on who you are, where you live and so on. I personally am 50/50 on this, meaning I can have enough money, greed is not something you can say about me, but time is a different matter for several reasons.

You're right, I know people from other continents live a simple life and they are happy. I admire them, but somehow I can't see myself living that lifestyle.

It's perfectly ok to disagree. We are all different and this is why this world is so colorful.

Thanks for the nice comment, for tipu as well. Have a nice day my friend, I hope Flora and family are ok 😊

I think one of the biggest gifts one can get is being able to be happy with what you have :) And this is something people in the (materialistically) rich and (technologically) advanced countries often lack. Being grateful for what they have. Cause the environment constantly forces them to want more.

My pleasure Erika. Have a lovely day yourself too :)
