It's amazing that people don't see it, one day I was at work when I was younger and I literally said to myself "What the fukk am I doing" I had an epiphany right then and there. Everything we do in this country is designed to keep you moving towards some new goal, keep you working, keep you acquiring debt and to keep you blind. That 30 year mortgage is a death sentence on mobility and freedom. The inevitable "get ya paper up" bullshyt, people trading time, the only truly valuable thing they own on something that only has a value because we say it does.
Americans work harder than any other first world nation, get the least amount of time off, and are on the most antidepressants in the world. I always bring up my friend, he lives in Indonesia, he works 15 hours has a house on the beach (no car) and is as happy as can be. There's only 24 hours in a day, 8-12 are spent at work, another 6-8 are spent sleeping....your life is over before you know it, and 1/3rd of your time was spent working.
