A community about happy living. Thoughts and praxis about long-term wellbeing, contentment, and personal fulfillment.
A place to post profound, preferably long-form thoughts and discussions about such concepts which might not easily fit in other communities.
Probably will remain just a community for the admin to post stuff they found interesting, but feel free to post some stuff you find that matches or start discussions.
Rules
- No memes
- No toxic "wholesome" content.
- No smug, "dunking" or "better than thou" posts about others. (Community is meant to focus on personal improvement and fulfillment, not negativity and how we're doing it better.)
- No woo-woo, spiritualism and religion. (Community is not about spiritualism and new age mumbo-jumbo and things like "The Secret". It's a purely materialistic and secular space.)

Saying that higher income leads to unhealthy lifestyles which results in earlier death is statistically incorrect and logically just completely bizarre. You need good money to be able to afford good food, hobbies, good medical care, etc, without having to worry about your budget.
Saying that higher income keeps you away from having a close, joyful family is similarly absurd and shockingly lacking in the ability to understand what it is to live as a person on low income. That means having to work extra hours all the time, having to work extra jobs just to make ends meet. You need higher income to be able to spend time with your family.
As for saying that not being broke will lead you to be an exploitative tyrant, I don't even know how to reply to that. Your whole post reads as extremely privileged and like you have never been poor.
