I was talking to a fellah yesterday that came from India and he was trying to explain why it seems like so many south Asians here go crazy over owning farm land. He was saying how back in his home country a farm land is like a goldmine as you can pretty much live off of it and use it to raise your family for years to come. Because of that too, it is important to teach the kids to maintain it as one wrong move could mean the loss of all your work. Or as he put it, all of your wealth would be gone in a year.<\/p>\n
Kind of funny I thought in many ways as for most of us in North America our mentality is to make a lot of money in order to buy the things we need to survive as opposed to wanting things that will give us what we need directly. I try to balance it personally. Basically, for the stuff that I can realistically do on my own I will as oppose to paying others. I find that helps to keep you in check too from buying so many things that you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
