  I think a part of that is being attached to things, to material possessions, to experiences. There’s nothing wrong with it of course, we are in charge of creating our own meaning, but attachment influences behavior and decreases our options.

    Ah yes the frivolous attachments of rent, food, and electricity

    This is a horrendously dystopian way of looking at life.

    In my part of the US, it is on average 38k/yr to raise a child to 18. Rent/mortgage is about the same. Not even getting to utilities, food, and healthcare. Life is wildly expensive for families these days.

    My teeth would be falling out right now, if I didn’t do a 54 hour work week. I want a part-time job too, so I can actually gain ground.
