Try Simple Living

would you prefer simple (not necessarily rich or poor) and not popular or a bigshot (either a popular person or someone who decessions affects the nation)

-i myself prefer simple, dont like much responsibility and never wanted to be popular, no privacy and all….

Simple life. More time can be devoted to personal issues, life and immediate family matters if your responsibilities don't include a larger population.
Don't get me wrong, I get enjoyment from my responsibilities. I gain satisfaction from knowing that my family and friends can count on me.
I guess someone that takes on extra responsibilities gets the same satisfaction from a larger population, plus they get their ego fed by being famous or popular. It's just not what I am looking for.
It is much more important for me to have my partner and my kids look at me with that love in their eyes and knowing they don't have to share me.

i dropped out of high school but im planning to go back maybe next year because right now, i am so frikkin stressed about where to live, getting a job to support myself, etc. i’ve also figured out that… working at a minimum wage job is not so bad. i like it actually. and i’d be happy living a life where i can just rent a small bachelor suite, and with some saved up money, buy some really great furniture, decorate the suite, and just living in the small bachelor suite while working a minimum wage job. i mean, for me, right now, it sounds like a really good living. there’s no pressure, im happy…. what do you guys think? or should i get a loan and go to college? because i really serious am done with school, i hate it, i hate studying for something i dont want to study for!

plus, im on a super tight budget right now.

well jus dont leave it 2 simple

i’m not saying which side i’m on or that i do this….Do you think 2 people can live on £1100 per month if the house is rented for £550 leaving them £550 to live on?
yeh the 550 would be everything after rent lol so food bills cars etc.

Its a hell of a strugle but its probably just about do-able if you live in an area where council tax and water rates aren't very high and if you budget VERY carefully. It isn't fun though, and not really sustainable for a long period of time, i.e. once you start needing new clothes and shoes.

Edit - Just seen the answer above mine but I'm presuming that £550 is for bills as well as food, etc.

a very simple life where we make and spend very little money, just enough to feed our family, make good friends & the kids can have a simple education and get simple low-paying jobs enough to support themselves and their families?

Why should I live a world which is extremely complex, highly materialistic with too much money and flashy lifestyle & even the people can only give you fake smiles but not care about you at all?

Yes you can. Go to live in the rural area of some third world country.

zzz.. sleep all day in a couch and drink… hmmm… beer… zzz…

DNA is only based on 4 sugars
adenine
cytosine
thymine
guanine

combined in groups of three for 20 amino acids

number of proteins in a cell - 1,000's (little help people - don't know the number of proteins in a cell - ahem)

just from the numbers it doesn't look possible that DNA is it

Dr. Kornberg in the 1950's was the first to show that the
genetic material was DNA - up to that point most scientists
thought it was protein…

he won the Nobel prize in medicine in 1959 for DNA and RNA

I saw him talk in the early 90's - still doing research in DNA replication - fascinating

hope this helps

The income required for a retirement visa in Mexico is around $1150us a month. I'm sure you could live on $7-800 but it would be pretty basic. On a tourist visa there is no requirement but you have to cross the border every 6 months.

Other CA counties are cheaper but not CR

LYRICS

(so the story begins)
City dweller
Successful fella
Thought to himself:
oops, Ive got a lot of money
Caught in a rat race
Terminally
Im a professional cynic
But my hearts not in it
Im paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the centurys anxiety

Yes, it preys on him
Hes getting thin
(try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats
In the country
He takes all manner of pills
And piles up analyst bills
In the country
Oh, its like an animal farm
Thats the rural charm
In the country

Hes got morning glory and lifes a different story
Everythings going jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
Hes reading balzac, knocking back prozac
Its a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh, its a centurys remedy
For the faint at heart
A new start
(try the simple life)

He lives in a house
A very big house
In the country
Hes got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest
In the country
He doesnt drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths
In the country
You should come to no harm
On the animal farm
In the country

Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don’t know why
Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don’t know why
