Consuming less, what a thought! I feel I need to consume less in general whenever I’m outside the U.S. It might be the lack of stress that pervades everything

Consuming less, what a thought!
I feel I need to consume less in general whenever I’m outside the U.S. It might be the lack of stress that pervades everything in the U.S.
I don’t need material things to comfort me when my spiritual needs are taken care of.
- gtirloni 3y agoThat's fine but your employer is making the same or more due to your work, while you "enjoy" your frugal lifestyle. Why not be properly compensated, spend less and enjoy life with extra vacations or early retirement?
- financltravsty 3y agoEarly retirement is usually a symptom of the above: you do not enjoy your present life, so you hope to escape the circumstances surrounding it. Do most Europeans need an early retirement or are they living a relaxed, fulfilling life and have no need for an escape?
- gtirloni 3y agoMy point is that someone is exploiting your (very acceptable and correct, IMHO) relaxed lifestyle. It's the society you're inserted in, for better or worse.
