I have one job making around 115,000/yr. I have a new 1099 client making 185,000/yr, and im thinking getting a third job making 180,000/yr. I know ... maybe not the most moral thing to do, but as far as i can tell, if i do the work, i sign and they don't complain, than who really cares right? In total i would increase my total income from 115,000/yr to around 480,000. What makes this so annoying, is that even at 480,000, it still feels like my purchasing power is gonna be the same as when i was making 115,000 a few years ago. Sure, I can pay off houses, buy guns, and stuff, but at the end of the day, gas is going up, and every single item in the world is becoming astronomically expensive

Put aside your material desires, my brother. Realize that ownership of material goods is pointless and without value. What do you actually need in life? A piece of clothing to cover your nakedness, a bowl for your food, a pair of shoes to walk in, a roof when it rains. All these are luxuries you don't really need.

What if I don't wanna cover my nakedness?
