Less can be great gain and happiness was created by Eleven
I was working a 40+ job for close to five years straight very dedicated employee. Was a mgr, asst. Mgr and just a clerk but, marriage changes things. I don't wanna offend anyone marriage but, it really does change things. My wife also, has a unique condition called cerebral palsy where she is confined to a chair. I love my wife and would do anything for her. She requires alot of help and assistance at times also medical. I recently had the hardship of having to take a less paying job in order to stay on her state medical insurance. It was tough to leave a job you loved for 5 yrs and paid very well. I went to a company that was only half the hours I worked and half the pay it was a struggle at first. But, as I begin to think, "Am I gonna survive without my fast foodies? Am I gonna survive without coffee? Ect, ect. I finally accepted the fact, " Are these needs or wants?" I was completely fine before if I didn't have money for it you just accepted it as a kid it was kind of a bummer but you got over it. My point of thought is its just materialism, its temporary, get over it. Honestly, having less money and more time on my hands to spend time with my family, friends, the gym, and TOTJO has made me happier and appreciate that money and things doesn't always equate to happiness.

Very wise, Sven.
And I'd have to agree. Less can often be more.
