I don't recall exactly where I heard it first, but I've heard someone say that "Americans live to work, while Europeans work to live." IME, this is true. Somehow the American Dream went from enjoying life into making a crap load of money. Yes, the money can help you to enjoy life, but if you're too miserable to appreciate what you've got, what's the point? Why kill yourself working just so you can have the most toys? Personally
I'd rather work enough to do what I enjoy (and have enough time to properly enjoy those things), but if that means I need to save some by getting used cars and books etc., then that's A-OK with me. There seems to be a lot of people that just see the money at the end of the tunnel.
