If you choose to sacrifice the time you 're on this world just to pay the mortgagr of you house that's more than sad, ... I travel a lot, around the world, and I meet many people who do not have our luxuary, but are far more happier, .... if you think that's a cliché... get out of your chair, switch off your tv-set, and get a life !
