In this sense, the Zen lifestyle makes no sense. Either you are confident you don’t need the money and could say donate it to charity or there’s this little voice in the back of his head that says, perhaps I can’t keep this up forever and I will need more later.
Don’t think we’ll ever get the answer but for me, I do want to increase my standard of living gradually over time. Even if I can live on a small amount, it doesn’t mean I’ll always WANT to do it.
