My eyes squint to see who is driving a fancy white car. I am amazed to see someone from my team. What I know is this: she makes too little money to afford such a car. Why would someone buy a moving liability that gets used 2 hours a day, that sits in a lot, and most likely a heavy financial burden?
Why do live beyond our means? Why do we enslave our lives to jobs to pay for products with no intrinsic value? Why do we buy things to impress others and seek external validation?
I don’t care about worldly posessions. I value time and fleeting moments full of joy.
What do I drive? A small car that does what it’s supposed to: get me from here to there safely with no bells and whistles.
