We trade our time for money only to surround ourselves with material possessions. Possessions that will pile into the landfills once we die or become bored of them, whichever comes first.
I totally understand other comments though, I try to see everyone's perspective for effective communication and learning opportunities. Just want you to know I understand where you're coming from. I feel it every day that I get ready for work, completely dissatisfied but cant leave because I have to pay to live on a planet I was born on. I feel it when I need a doctor but make too little to afford health insurance and too much for state benefits so I hope whatever is wrong blows over. I feel it living paycheck to paycheck and life happens so every ounce of savings is gone in an instant. At least I think I get it.
