    It warms my heart to hear young folks not buy into the infinite treadmill of consumption.

      it comes at a social cost though.

      i have lost a lot of friends because I live below my ‘means’. whereas most folks I meet are ‘struggling’ because they are living beyond theirs.

      Especially travel and restaurants. consumption is now re-branded as ‘experience’.
