Living below your means, growing more than you can consume and working fairly amongst your community is the key to a healthy life.<br /><br />I played the game: Went into the Military, got an education, a good job, and bought a quaint little condo.<br /><br />The minute you stand up to anyone you can out all of it in jeopardy. You have to decide if it is worth it. Currently here in the US we have a chronic problem with potential employers asking applicants to give them cart blanch on their Face Book account allowing HR to gaze about as they wish.<br /><br />Frequently on the posting there was the sad argument: I guess they don't want the job that bad.<br />And the old stand by from 9/11 and the Bush era: If you don;t have anything bad in there it shouldn't be a problem.<br /><br />We give them as much power as we let them. If you free yourself from the shackles of crap you become a power individual indeed and are free to find your life's purpose. But you have to be willing to give up the plush things in life sometimes.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to moving into an RV on top of a 180 degree view of Avocado Escondido valley on 17 acres of avocado orchards.<br /><br />I'm OK without the truck, the house, or the California King Mattress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465044004203463170.post-3617030402148285382012-03-19T18:34:57.905-07:002012-03-19T18:34:57.905-07:00Ahhh another voice of reason in the forest of cons...Ahhh another voice of reason in the forest of consume, consume, consume until you work yourself to death for another IWidget. Thank you for showing there are choices to be had other than wage slave and consumer drone. <br />I am currently paying off debt from helping out a family member and I enjoy working at my own pace as a professional artist. I am free to help my aging parents in their business, help my community and spend time walking the dog in the magnificent parks in the beautiful city I live in. Thanks and I look forward to reading more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
