i just love guys like this...
many people today spend their entire lives paying interest on credit cards, paying for the new car, buying the latest fashions, buying the McMansion, etc.
Then they turn 50 or 60 and they wonder why they wasted so much of their time on earth on junk that really doesn't matter.
The stress of this over-leveraged, consumption driven, meaningless lifestyle puts people into an early grave, and while they live, they live miserable lives.
Imagine the peace of mind this guy must have had.
I have a hunch this guy never stayed awake at night wondering which bill he was going to let slip this month.
we could all learn a lesson from this fella.
You wrote what I was thinking. I'm in my 50s and I ask myself when I buy something, is this purchase going to enhance my life or is this a vanity purchase.
