  • I agree, but I'm finding the transition a bit more difficult then I thought and I'm reading the book Your Money or Your Life right now. Did you follow the steps? Seems like you did, but I"m curious about your experience with it.

  • when i was a teenager i lived in my car/crashed with friends for about 3 1/2 years ~ at the time i felt pretty sorry for myself as i had one pair of jeans (full of holes!) and my friends all had tons of "stuff", cars, all that ~ anyway, i've since settled down, own a home, accumulated "things"~ but to tell you the truth i really miss the freedom i had back then to just leave at the drop of a hat and go wherever the wind blew me...posessions definately don't = contentment (quite to opposite!)

  • @Marcoosianism look again, they're not made from leather. In one sense that's bad, cuz the rubber insulates electro-magnetic us from our electro-magnetic source, Mama Earth. But at least those shoes put us at same level, not aloof or askew like most all other shoes

  • i love my vibrams :)

  • @Marcoosianism they have vegan options :)

  • its all buddist.

  • Heh, just looked up the Vibram 5 fingers - pretty cool. Too bad they're made from leather :-(

  • You are exactly right, my friend. Great video with a meaningful subject.

  • Great video. I have to agree with you on the vibram 5 fingers, especially for running. Once I switched to them...absolutely loved them.
