WOULD YOU RATHER BE RICH...
Or just not really need money?
I think that far too many people these days get distracted with the "riches of this world." They simply hope to "get rich" one day, and basically day dream about that rather than modifying their lifestyle. What about you? Would you rather be rich, or just not really need money? Here are a few of my thoughts on the subject.
RICH? I'D RATHER JUST NOT NEED MONEY
REDUCE YOUR EXPENSES AND INCREASE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
If you've watched or read my stuff for a while now, you probably already know my answer. In fact, I am hard at work every day to try to move towards needing as little money as possible.
Part of my current lifestyle transition and main goal in life right now is to decrease the cost of living in order to increase the quality of life. The less money I need is the less money that I need to earn. In the end, it turns into more of my life that I get to enjoy rather than exchanging my time and effort for money to purchase things that we really don't need.
Rather than getting distracted by trying to "get rich," I think it is better to focus on reducing the cost of living, then you won't need to worry about getting rich! Those are just a few of my thoughts anyway. What are yours?
Until next time…

Excellent post and query. Yes I would rather not need money. I tend to think the less you have the more free you are. I think of that old Janis Joplin song line - Freedom's jut another word for nothing left to lose. Second I remember how the Bible speaks of the love of money and that it can prevent you from entering the kingdom of God. Well the things of this world are here for us on loan to us to enjoy, but we leave them all behind when we leave here. if the riches are going to prevent me from heaven and if I leave them when I leave, I do not need them. Heaven is more important than any earthly treasure. Blessings @papa-pepper
I agree! Those are sobering things to consider!
Good post and my answer is going in the same direction as you.
Rely more on life than getting rich and be miserable.
The way you live and conduct yourself can help achieve this goal.
Simple life.
Homestead life.
Keep on steemin'
Preach on @papa-pepper in most cases from your broke friends and family to the government it's not an income problem it's an expenditure problem.
I see far too many people ordering-in food, taking taxi cabs, buying junk, and wasting money. If you pack your lunch a few times a week you will save a thousand dollars of after-tax money per year. Buying things on credit is even worse.
Wow! Very well said! Excellent points!
I wouldn’t mind living in a way where money is no object. I believe you have to practice abundance everyday and set good habits. Thanks for the share!
Thanks for adding in a few thoughts!
Most folks spend their lives in hot pursuit of legal tender, and die having never lived.
Yeah, I want to make a life, not a living.
Impossible for me
Most people want more money than their peers. It’s all relative!!
I agree with you. Hell, I am the guy who gave up a 100k programing job to move to Japan and become a photographer. Money has never mattered to me. About the only things I even buy these days are food (and beer). I suppose clothes and things for my kids, but as for me personally I want very little.
Great move! Life is much more than things.
That is the exact reason I starting looking into homesteading. I kept thinking to myself that I was being middled by the city lifestyle. After years of paying for firewood to be shipped in to my place I started just going to the trees. Wasn't long before I realized that I'd just rather live nearer to the forest than domino's.
Same here! With some land and freedom you can do a lot more to cut costs in my opinion.
for me rich is not the most, the important thing to live happily with family and also enough to eat everyday it is very good.
rich question is the number two for me, the important life happy @papa-pepper.
