Try Simple Living

between living a simple life and bigshot which would you choose?

admin — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 16:29:01 +0000

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!

simple living expenses question?

admin — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 04:51:04 +0000

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.

Is it possible to live a simple, easy life away from the materialistic and plastic society?

admin — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 02:38:02 +0000

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.

what is the principle of keep it simple in living or life?

Is it bad for your car to slow down by downshifting?

admin — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:49:29 +0000

????

It depends how you downshift. If you downshift with your engines rpm too high, you can damage it. However, assuming you know how to downshift, it can extend the life of your brakes. I think it’s smart to utilize the engine to slow vehicle speed. Truck drivers often utilize downshifting to avoid damaging their air-brakes.

Do you think this would simplify your life?

Simplify= eat nothing but pizza; drink nothing but Mt. Dew; wear nothing but White shirts, Black pants, Grey socks, sneakers, & underwear; walk to work; own one neutered cat, one goldfish, one jade plant; rent one room with stainless steel walls, one table, one chair, one portable television, one window with one shade, tile floor, shower nozzle in ceiling, one towel; “rent” a spouse and have no kids.

not at all
when life’s hectic, it’s fun!!!
