But I think it's a worthwhile pursuit. sourrain: true that. they may be the smarter ones, rather than us. BigZ: getting back to enjoying simple pleasures takes effort after all.

When I think back I'am only really happy when I'am not worrying about stuff. Bills, job, shit to do etc. I'am only really happy / free when I stop thinking about that stuff and enjoy the moment, as it was. eg Punching down a long empty road on a slightly over cast day, stereo pumping my fav tunes and no place to be, just listening to the engine rev up...or when I spot a really beautiful women with the wind blowing just right behind her :).. for few moments anyway I can forget all that mundane shit and be free. Your bros lucky if he can do that all the time :) Happy holidays btw ! You know man, I’am starting to wish I could be more like your bro every day.

Have corrected the age above. mf: yeah even though I'm not money obsessed and live within the means, I'm the same. His mentality is that worrying about rainy days is what insurance was invented to prevent. Lupin: woops – 1979 actually. Have corrected the age above.

I think in the end, as long as we are not running up debts and we are living within our means, then it's ok. blur ting: yeah those of us who can appreciate the simple things in life, and who don't worry too much about the future can appreciate my brother's simple approach to life. As for my parents, I guess they wouldn't be my parents if they didn't worry. ;) rn: Also, each of us have different ideas about what constitutes a rainy day, and what we should be saving up for.

Mine is always fretting about money and work though I don't see why he has to do that. We're all different and as long as Marvin's comfortable and not complaining, I think he's more blessed than anyone else. Your brother is a wise and happy man.

OK, I DO need a bit of control, but generally that's my idea. I guess there needs to be a mix, so as to provide just in case of a bad stretch of time, etc. However, I always think that life is a journey, like you said. I haven't figured out the "great plan" in life and such yet, but I can be very simple minded in a way too. The simple things in life that makes us happy (hence my meme!) can be the most important, ain't it? I just need someone to understand that. =) my brother and my boyfriend and the rest of my “financially-aware” friends constantly harp on that.
