    I love when people say “ don’t do things that enslave you”

    Now, I wouldn’t want to disrespect anyone, but I would like to know what that means.

    My parents are dead, for years now so the people who currently live in their house wouldn’t really just let me live in the basement I guess. It might get weird.

    I’m not interested in living in a cardboard box under a bridge cuz, well it gets cold in the winter and there’s typically no shower or toilet.

    To own a home and some acres , unless you were left money you typically have to have some manner of employment or way to generate an income. Honest or dishonest, that sort of makes you a slave to a working life right out of the gate. My parents taught me to work hard to get what I want, not to cry loud enough until someone gave it to me, which would make me their slave anyway.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do, I like where I live, I appreciate the fact that I have to walk a ways to get close enough to the fence if I choose to talk to my neighbor. I DO wish that it cost less to maintain that, but it is what it is. If I’m given the secret to getting money for nothin’ I’m there.

    I’ll even write a song about it.

    I don’t really feel like a slave because I have to work 5 days a week to maintain a lifestyle , although it does cut down on my video game time. I guess if I lived in somebody else’s house so I didn’t have to pay for it all, I wouldn’t be such a slave, but they probably would want me to at least take out the trash or cut the grass. That would kind of enslave me to a point.

    My point is I guess, I just don’t know what people mean when they say “ don’t do things that enslave you”

    I’m also curious as to the value of their assets and how they got them.
