Don’t take someone who saves 60% of their income and still feel miserable seriously. In general be empathetic to depressed people but don’t let them trap you with their despair.

Just curious, what is the implication here? That im sad because i dont consume anything?

I live in a very cheap country where i can consume drastically more than the average american (housing and food mostly, not much material stuff) at a much lower price. My lifestyle would seem pretty extravagant to many.

But im trying to return and realizing the numbers are insane.
