Oh wow. Sorry to hear. That isn’t my personal interest. Money is great, but I hope to be happy ultimately. Money won’t do that, I already know that from experience growing up into money. (Which I no longer have since my parents divorced and I’m also almost 30 now). My fiancé describes himself as a simple man. There’s also a song he likes a lot by that same lyric in the song. Maybe that is the name of it idk. I can’t recall rn. But he’s even much more “simpler” than me. In some way, I fight to make money so my children will have it somewhat comfortable. Him...he just wants to be happy and is happy with anything he has. I’m learning how to undo the money-tied-to-happiness Mindset. Growing up with money and getting whatever I want is hard mindset to get out of. Especially when u realize other people don’t have it that way. Which I didn’t know until about 22-23 years old.
I’m slowly learning, but I’m learning. He’s been teaching me to be happy with what I have and the people I have in my life. If anything, I personally want more friends. I have quite a bit already but so May are either 1 - online 2- never want to hang out but live close, like ever, or 3 - live real far like an hour away or more, maybe even in another state.
I yearn strongly for friends so badly. Friends that WANT to actually be with me.
