Life is expensive. Living well is not.
The high cost of everything is ubiquitous. Oddly, the more you possess, the more you spend. It also is true that “big stuff” is even more costly.
Possessions are one way we measure success. But there is another measure of success. It has to do with the simple things. Both require our time and effort.
As I grow older, like many men do, I have found many reasons to refine and refocus. Simple is looking better every day. More cars, more homes, more toys not only cost more in a world of rapidly increasing prices that are out of reach, but they will rust, decay and deteriorate.
Old age squeezes resources. Fewer resources mean fewer options. And that is a good thing.
