I could live in a nicer house. But I’d rather spend my money traveling around the world. I could also be saving that money or donating it to charity. Or if I worked even harder, I could buy an even greater house and spend all my time beautifying it. But then I would work to feed the real estate related industries and I wouldn’t have time to kick back.
My brothers drive nice cars but I’m not interested at all in cars so I just drive the hand-me-downs. They don’t charge me, so I never have car expenses. 🙂
