People put themselves on a treadmill

   People put themselves on a treadmill.  They buy a big beautiful 
   house an hour's drive from where they work and spend two hours 
   out of every day driving to and from work.  They buy a house 
   with a gigantic lawn that takes four hours to mow and spend 
   most of what could be their free time mowing their lawn.  They 
   buy a mansion of a house that costs a fortune to furnish, 
   decorate, heat and air condition and a fancy new motor vehicle 
   that depreciates $8000 during the first year of ownership and 
   then slave away to make the payments on all the loans and 
   bills.  My philosophy:  Travel light.  Carry a light load.  
   Require little.  Be content with little.  Live simply.  Pay 
   cash, don't borrow.  Save your money, don't squander it.
