If your primary expenses like car and house are paid off and you don’t have debt, as long as you are not a relentless consooomer it is easily enough to survive.

One car problem or some medical expenses could change that though.

people often don't understand how little it takes to live with no debt. the are just programmed to think everyone has a lot of monthly bills.

It makes sense though.

Our bullshit economic system thrives on the false illusion of scarcity. That shit is forced into our brains everywhere we go.

WTF do you do with 2500 if you need a home repair or want to go on vacation?

Yeah, it'll be enough to just get by, I guess, but your life will be boring as fuck. And you'd have to be frugal as fuck to make sure you have enough for unexpected costs. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

"boring" -- see that's the problem with the digital existence people live...their greatest fear is being bored because they've been conditioned to always be doing something or have constant new stuff flashing in front of their eyes.

this is why the average person is checking their phone 200+ times a day. and actually i've seen researchers say that the pursuit of constantly "not being bored" causes parts of the brain to stop working/atrophy. we need constant dopamine hits which really wasn't a things until modern times.

Hobbies have there place, but not all hobbies have to be typical consumerist stuff that requires tons of money.

Hobbies, life, not a consumer but a person living life.

I could make a quarter of what I make now and just gym and play cod but it’s the skiing, biking and working on my cars that drive me to make the money I do

by all means everyone can do as they wish, but one can't assume those without "expensive hobbies" aren't living in a way that they find fullfilling.

This is true, all of those ensure I’m outside and active which is why I push to continue pursuing them. Would love to just play cod all day
