We are fortunate enough to not have any mortgage or rent payments and live in a super insulated house with a certain amount of renewable energy supply and manage very well on about that amount
I know you're being ironic but I've just wasted 10 minutes of my life looking for a pattern for knitted yoghurt. 5 million bloody cupcakes and no yoghurt! I think there's a gap in the market.oldjerry wrote:People who reject this,me,(and others above ) who profess that the quality of their life is more important than the level of their income,are just attaining their status in different ways,'I grow all our veg',bake my own bread' 'recycle everything' knit yoghurt' etc etc etc.
The word "status" used in this context confuses me. I am who I am, I do what I like, I make sure that I don't deliberately cause any ill to anyone and compare my self to no-one - as such I hold no "staus" by comparison to anyone.bonniethomas06 wrote:I agree with all of the above - particularly that your happiness depends on how you construct your own idea of 'status'.
