I'm just not in love with working. There's nothing I feel like I'm "called" to do, as far as that goes, and I have trouble relating to people who "live to work." A lot of trouble. Also, not caring much about having "things" is a part of this. I'm not especially interested in owning a house, or expensive cars or clothes, or other status symbol type things. Other people who are into that make me sick, in fact.

Spiritual and artistic pursuits are what I'm really interested in devoting myself to, full-time. I'm not going to spend any more time shackled to banks or mortgage, credit card, or finance companies. They've gotten all of the money they're going to get out of me, and I won't spend one more minute of my life working to pay them just so I can keep up with the Joneses. I'll work to keep food in my mouth and a roof over my head, because I have to, but I'll be damned if I'll do it so I can give the money to somebody else for what amounts to no good reason.

End rant.

Very well said. I dont consider that rant at all.
