people work hard because marketing makes them want a car and a big house or a condo and some cushy furnature, not just a couch but a whole set and an ipod and health insurance, a cell phone, cable, broadband, a big ass stereo with speakers too big for the space theyre placed in, and vacations and fast computers, and a $200 $5 watch. people are spoiled. because of this they need more money, thus they work long hours. usually they go into debt which sucks even more life out of them and makes the art of spending money far less effietient. of course the long hours make people impatient so life becomes even less effietient because everyone wants what they want now, rather than later and thus are willing to spend money they dont have. product is being used and noone pays for it. take my brother for exmple hes probibly had his livingroom furnature replaced a dozen times in the last 3 years. he buys on credit, keep it for a few months untill they reposess it, then he finds another store and repeats the process. where do you think the national deficit comes from, nobody actually owns anything. people think that having more stuff will improve their lives, when

it enslaves them, and the mob that is america encourages it. what people need to do is simplify. slow the **** down. take your time. i work less than 30 hours a week and rack up about 2000 a month (before taxes of course), and all i do is put bikes together.
