But I think from time to time we should award ourselves with some fancy experience, not always, but sometimes. You know, life is too short to live economical the whole life.
“Salt in the air, sand in my hair.”
This sums up my brother, he never got out of Ontario, Canada, ever in his life. He died at 70 of cancer, barely knowing our province. He had money and time and health for most of his life, but he preferred to be judgemental and critical of those who chose to travel to as many places as they could afford to, and see as much as they could. I was one he criticized. I feel he missed out on a lot.
There used to be a simple living meme "don't go shopping" (if you are in debt) and you would think "don't go on vacation" if you're in debt is also reasonable, but when I say that I am called jealous, petty, and told I have a vendetta. Vacations have become an entitlement for certain social classes. Yet millions of lower income folks never get to take one, both for financial reasons and because their jobs don't offer paid time off. Yet rather than advocating for these folks the jetsetters defend their privilege. I agree with the blog post: stop wasting your money on fancy experiences.
It’s about choices . Some people choose to own a home, some take vacation, etc. If you never do anything for fun it’s not a life worth living.
Yppej: One thing is true. You need a vacation!
Also: You are acting like a jealous, petty person with a vendetta. Walk like a duck and quack like a duck, people are going to think you are a duck.
I think 4 weeks vacation time should the law for everyone. I also think we need living wage laws. The work I did in the labor movement was, in part, to get these sorts of policies into effect via union contract (since laws like this are damn near impossible).
Ever do any activism?
And I think this is wrong. People need a living wage and time off that is paid for. Again, I spent years in the labor movement advocating for these things. How long were you in the trenches for America's working families?
Okay, that is just, like, your opinion, man!
