I firmly believe I have the best way to live....live well but not too well, do not waste money on shit you really dont need or want just to impress people or influence opinions, and stay grounded in some small but effective way. For instance, I require the maid service I use to clean my toilet(s) every other day....I stay grounded and in touch with reality by giving the maids a break and cleaning my own toilets twice a year, using a well-used stained scrubby-scrub brush and everything...
Seriously, I dont wear bling or an outrageously expensive watch, I dont wear a million dollar wardrobe, or have my crippled ass driven around in a limo (I like my 2 handivans, and my hydraulic lift ramps on them are expensive enough to indicate to anyone who cares about such shit that I am in decent $hape), and I dont buy or own overpriced works of shitty "art".
Rather, I wheel my ass around in comfort and safety with the latest in mobility devices from around the world. By not having obvious or showy displays of wealth like bling or things of that sort, I dont have the nagging fear or risk of being robbed (fucking killed these days) by amoral or desperate idiots....
1.5 million on a fucking car is deplorable, no matter how many 0s are to the left of the decimal on your net worth.
