Now I like working as little as possible and don't really care if I have a Lambo sitting in my garage or not. Having lots of money is nice and all, but if you have to work non stop to get it, what's the point?

I enjoy being lazy.
That's fair enough. Everybody's priorities are different.

Personally I see it as a short term sacrifice for long term freedom. If you do just enough to be happy and get by and be lazy then you'll have to do that for the next 50 years. However, if you bust ass for 10 years you can probably be really lazy for the next 50 ;) That's the way I see it
