Hello, my first post here. Since school let out a few weeks ago, I have been spending more and more time at work (typically). As much as I love making money, I hardly ever feel like I am actually doing something productive while I am there. It’s programmed into our systems that we want to make lots of money, because it will lead to bigger and better things, but then why I do I feel like often times, I am just wasting my time? Just today I was questioned why I do not want to work more then I already do, and my response was “because I want to have a life”. I would rather enjoy my life, and have time to myself, then have tons of money. Sure, I could have some better things (cars, electronics, etc.) if I worked more, but then when would I have time to actually enjoy those things? I would end up working to PAY for those things, that I hardly ever would get the chance to enjoy.
I don’t know, maybe this is just my teenager mind telling itself it doesn’t want to face real life (work), but maybe I have a point? Just a thought.
