"You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living - that is to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid"

What a speech. Shit's insipirational !

This is something I've followed for a while. I'm poor, probably to the point where I'm below the national poverty level. I don't rely on government handouts or food stamps or any of that. I make my own living helping others. I enjoy it and it provides me the free time to pursue other passions, to really enjoy life.

I could probably enjoy life more if I had more money but the only honest way to get there is to work and then you've lost something more valuable than money; time.

Work hard, fail fast.

To change is to succeed, to change often is to perfect. ( This quote is from House Of Cards, but I feel like nothing is more true.)

With those two things in mind theres nothing you can't do.

Well, you can work and still make a good use of your free time, also, you can save some money and do whatever you want in the future :D

The time you spent working varies according to your qualification / job etc.

True but a lot of people in America like to live beyond their means and are forever stuck in a shitty job and in debt trying to earn enough to pay it back. I do have a little debt myself but I could easily pay it off quickly, it's not thousands of dollars like a student loan or anything.
