Delusion & simplicity If you are willing to go close to nature and a bit remote, use things like permaculture, and be creative with your own hands and work a bit yourself, most people can spend way less than they do and actually be way more content. Even a small amount of bitcoin would probably outpace your spending in its appreciation in value over time. You would be surprised how little I actually spend. I had people visiting with 10s or 100s of millions, even two billionaires, and once we sat in the forest garden and talked a bit and sat in silence they quickly realized how insane "the always wanting more is." Gratitude is what matters, inner development is what matters. Not how much you have. Remember my monk friend that lives with less than $400 a month and is permanently in bliss. Yes…circumstances differ, but with all respect most of you on here are delusional with thinking how much you actually need to live a simple content life and become way more content and at peace than you are now. Changing yourself is the key, turning inside, not always looking to change external circumstances and looking outside.
