i think about this at least once a week, it keeps me motivated.

1. i try to decrease my consumption of goods/energy/water in order to reduce my ecological footprint, hoping others do the same. i do not want to be responsible for what is to happen.

2. i realize that i could have been born in a slum, or a dirt hut somewhere, and never made a dollar. for this reason i strive to invest as much money as is possible in my retirement and real estate. i feel i have been given a gift, and to not maximize my situation is foolish and wasteful.

this is why there are articles about how immigrants come here and strive to succeed. people who are born here are used to the system, and never take advantage of all this country has to offer.
