Ch 5: More vs. Enough (Part I: overspending, 4 of 4)

[BayerLexan]

I've had the good fortune to be supported by my parents, and when I became old enough to work I did. I've saved as much as I possibly could while being supported by my parents, and rarely spent it. I've been jobless for two years and am in no financial difficulties. I loved the idea of not being enslaved to a job, and the freedom of not being controlled by the need for money. If I don't spend it, I don't have to earn it, so I only spend it when needed.

[BayerLexan]

Debt is slavery to me, so I avoid it at all costs.

To me I live for efficiency. I try to maximize time that I can do what ever I want against the costs of sustaining a certain quality of life. The less unnecessary material you have, the less time wasted obtaining it and or dealing with it, like clutter. I prefer time where I can do what I like, so I try to minimize the amount of my life where I have to spend it doing tasks.
