I’ve come to appreciate my home. I spend thousands of dollars a month on it, why wouldn’t I be there enjoying and maintaining it most of my time?
I think the modern idea that you have to be out and about constantly is linked to our consumer culture and growth oriented economy. They want us to be out spending money we don’t have.

- ok_dad 2y agoMy house is quite nice, I live right next to a big park that's basically a cool forest with tons of short trails that take only a few minutes to traverse. I can go for a walk for 15 minutes through there from 9-5 every day other than Christmas!

But, why shouldn't we be enjoying the place that is supposed to be our own? I can get a lot more work done when allowed to just be comfy working in my room without many disturbances. I can work on my hobbies and socialize with people who have the same hobbies, without any of us having to be able to come over.
