I am 26, I live 2400 miles from home, I do not own an Xbox and I don't eat junk food.
My main point is this: our society equates money with happiness. People chase bigger incomes because they think it'll make them happier, but studies have shown repeatedly that how much money someone makes doesn't have a positive correlation with happiness. In fact, if someone's basic needs are covered and they are around people they enjoy being around, their level of happiness is typically equal to that of multimillionaires.
The fact of the matter is, we live in a greedy, money hungry society: and I want it to stop. I think it will take a dramatic economic upheaval to break people's money-obsessed mindsets.
I HATE money. HATE it. Is it normal?
