    MIght surprise some people - but I'm all for what he's doing. He hasn't created obligations (wife/kids/mortgage) for himself that he's avoiding - he doesn't rely on his famiiy to pay his way...

    He tried the career route and decided he wants "different" and can adjust his lifestyle to fit his budget...good for him. I also think he's really charming to surprise his Mum like that.

    Dear April: I don't want any trouble from you.
    January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
    So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    I agree with Kay, guy has no obligations, supports himself is not a burden on his family or society in general .....

    Downsizing seems to be a trend these days, smaller homes, cars and more family members living together...

    I agree about the down-sizing. It's good to see some young people questioning whether they want or need so much space and so much stuff.

    While many young people are complaining they can't match their parents lifestyle (first generation that won't surpass their parents in wealth...blah blah)
    only a few are stopping to ask "why would I want to live like my parents."

    Bigger houses, more "stuff" to fill the houses - more cars to drive more places to buy more stuff.....and constant complaints of "I have to work all the time" (to pay for the stuff, of course).

    Not many people stop to ask themselves if that is the lifestyle they want - he did. Very smart.

    A very useful video
    Unlike the spam you posted....
