Paying the bills

Paying the bills. It’s why most of us work. What if there were no bills? Highly unlikely, I know, but what about if the bills were minimised. There’s a shift away from property ownership, myself included. The outgoings remain similar but I have nothing to show for it after 25 years. What it does give me is freedom (if I choose it), I’m not tied to one place. I’m a bit of contradiction though. I crave freedom and spontenaity but I also crave stabily. It’s tough to balance at times. Freedom itself is scary as it’s unpredictable and unsettled. Again, it comes back to fear. Staying in the same job/house/relationship/town/country is familiar/safe/comfortable and suits most people. It’s also society’s expectation, we must conform. Going outside of the ‘norm’ upsets people. But why does that matter? The need for approval and validation. I used to waste time and effort justifying decisions or even trying to get people to understand my view. I’m getting better and keep reminding myself that I’m an adult and have the right to choose what I want. So, it’s a good question, what would I do if there were no bills? It has to be travel and adventure. That costs money, I admire people who have the courage to do it (for an extended period of time and not just having a holiday). I’m sure it can be done cheaply and I’m sure there will be opportunities to earn money along the way. But then again, we don’t need money, we actually need food/drink/shelter. Mmmmm, lots to consider……
