What would happen if money wasn’t king? What would happen if we worked to meet our families needs instead of our wants? All the extra time and energy could be used for more purposeful living. We could spend time with our family and friends. We could volunteer in the community. We could take up painting or ceramics or writing. We could watch the sunset with a glass of wine and the sunrise with a cup of coffee. What if we in-sourced all the housework that we currently out-source. We could grow and prepare better food. We could cut firewood instead of paying the gas company. We could be strong and healthy without going to the gym. We could open our homes to those who don’t look like us. We could understand where they come from and why they feel the way they do. But most importantly, we could do all these things together. We could have relationships; spouses, children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends. We could recognize that all anyone wants is to be loved, heard and counted more valuable than money.
What are your dreams that could be fulfilled without a mortgage, a car payment, credit card debt, student loans and all the other "benefits" of keeping up with the Jones'?
