"At the bottom you don't have to pretend that the circumstances will improve"

Well, sorry, but I would also say, you don't know what you are talking about.

First of all, there is no bottom at the bottom - you can always fall deeper, until there is no more escape than suicide. I know people who did.

What you maybe mean, are people who don't care abobut materialism and live with little to no money by their choice. I lived with those people for quite some time and it was fun.

When you are young and healthy and on your own, you don't really have to worry about a lot of things. I worried about my backpack with my laptop and that was it. I slept in a tent or under the stars or wherever. When the money was gone, there were always places or ways to get food. Work a little, travel a little. Easygoing.

But now I have a family. Now I cannot not have money.
