I think it’s so crazy how Americans work so hard in order to afford large houses they don’t even have time to live in

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”

We are taught to work hard to make and spend as much money as possible. Instead, it’s better to live within your means and be content with what you have. That way, you won’t be forced to work yourself to the point where you have to choose between leisure, rest, and family time.
