- songzme 5y ago> Do you scrimp pretty hard? No, my reasoning is to enjoy life by pursuing what I love and I don't want saving money to get in the way, even if it meant possibly cutting my funemployment short. > Nice to be able to go on a little trip or eat out sometimes 100% agree! I'd caution against over indulging on consumption though, it can lead to a trap where you spend all your money and not gain much value. Instead of spending money on consumption, I try to optimize spending on money on things that increase my creative output value. I haven't eaten out in a while, in its place I've bought a nice pizza oven and I make pizzas for family and friends. They usually bring the finer things, so I don't spend much money when I'm hosting but I end up having an incredible amount of fun. Also when I host we usually have alot of leftover food, which then goes into my compost pile and I get to build up more high quality dirt. Win win. I'm thinking of buying a duck next week for companionship and also to help around the garden. > Most good stuff doesn't need to cost a lot though. From my personal experience, most good stuff comes from investing in tools that increase your creative output. Those things are always worth the money
- randomopining 5y agoHaha awesome. Sounds like you know how to live your life... it's admirable. I'm considering the same thing. I have a good amount saved but my creativity and general expression is suffering a lot.
