The Quality of Life
   I enjoy life more when I can live infinitely cheap, 
that is, except for taxes and bureaucratic fees.  So 
now I have to get a job to make enough to give the 
bureaucrats their due.  Thus I can no longer live cheap 
because I no longer have the time to stretch resources 
and rebuild what I use.
   It quickly gets to the point where it's easier to 
spend money than to save it justified by the quality of 
life.  It becomes easier to buy a meal than prepare 
one.  It gets easier to buy new clothes than to mend 
them.  And while we're at the store we see things that 
will make our life easier and we justify the expense 
because it saves time and bolsters our psyche so we can 
be more efficient with our time at home and at work.  
All too soon, living gets too expensive and we don't 
enjoy any of it.
