I agree with you, one the necessary bills and tasks are done, gaining extras is a waste of time unless that journey is shared willingly (family business comes to mind).
Some people will view a massive house, nice car and yard and wish it was theirs. The same people look down on a trailer with a yard full of quads, a bass and a houseboat, swing sets, call them names like rednecks. What I would see is a family that spends time together and lives outside the house together.
Thank you. As much as the left likes to pretend masculinity is toxic, having a strong hard-working father set me up for success. He taught me to never give up; life is not fair and if you want it keep at it until you have it.
One thing I always found funny was watching my friends and co-workers buying expensive toys, fancy cars etc, and cringing when I would park my old truck next to them. I guess he also taught me to be practical over trying to look successful.
