“I make a point of staying right at the edge of poverty. I don’t have a pair of pants without a hole in them, and the only pair of boots I have are on my feet. I don’t mess around with unnecessary stuff, so I don’t need much money. I believe it’s meant to be that way. There’s a ‘struggle’ you have to go through, and if you make a lot of money it doesn’t make the ‘struggle’ go away. It just makes it more complicated. If you keep poor, the struggle is simple."
- Kenny Howard aka Von Dutch
The quote came from The Selvedge Yard.
I believe that this should be a constant reminder, to everyone. Making money is not bad, unless it becomes what you live your life for.
magandang pag isipan to ngayong Lunes :)))
