Do you find life is sometimes

too expensive to enjoy? Such as the things you enjoy cost too much.
I don’t always like to stay home but here in Australia a nice meal out can set us back easily a hundred bucks, movies are unbelievable...easily $100 plus for a family...getting a massage is expensive, shopping is expensive, going on a decent holiday here you need 5k+
I’m American so know that living and entertainment is cheaper in the States. I’m curious if you find it to be expensive to live and do things for fun there or wherever you live.

Thank you for the reminder. We forget that it’s not the same everywhere. @midnightsun

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 if you want to understand more about this then read about stoic philosophy.

Basically we take a lot of things for granted that we forget to not appreciate what we have. Stoicism suggests you to spend some time meditating everyday thinking about how fortunate you are with what you have.

I pray everyday to Jesus. I am truely thankful, just find basic fun is costly. @midnightsun
