It is good to see that you are still here. I missed this place though I have little time to write nowadays, logging on to Literacy Base is like meeting old friends.

Yes, Literacy Base deserves the praise as its policies have made sure it does not crumble and fade away like other sites.

Downsides the lifestyle, try to minimize something unwanted in life, to make our life simply and nice, is the newly emerged lifestyle concept.
I love this topic, and try to apply it into my current life style. Thus, I don’t go for new clothes shopping,don’t buy unnecessary things, don’t like to go for new and expensive stuffs.
All for all, have a simple life, is my center of lifestyle currently.

Lack of support to maintain the standard is the main reason why we had to downsize our lifestyle. But at the same time I feel a simpler life has less tensions.

Good to see you here. I did take a break myself too but have come back here. myLot and LB is where you will find me.

My ex husband is a workaholic. During the weekend his favourite saying was this: “It is boring. I have nothing to do.” But during his work week, his favourite saying in the evening was: Boy did I work hard today. I am so tired”. Go figure, I guess he was never satisfied. Sorry about this comment. I just wanted to rant. I agree with you though about working for long hours to get your payment. I wish I had your energy.

Workaholic is like a drug addict? I guess so because as observed to those people who are said to be workaholic, they as if cannot live the whole day without doing a multi task. They cannot be satisfied with only one task they do. So for others, they work ’till midnight and then they woke up again as early as 4am just to do their work.

They are addicted with work, and that is why you compared it with drug addicts. As we all know, drug addicts depends on drugs to satisfy their body need, so as with workaholics, they feel contentment in doing full load of works daily.

My husband was a workaholic, which never left much time for us as a couple and if I ever spoke to him about this he would become angry which caused arguments. I resented feeling forgotten by him then one day we finally was able to actually sit and talk about our feelings he had been married before me and his exwife died from cancer after her death he dealt with his grief thru work, he and I met and eventually married but he was by that so use to working all the time he couldn’t see what he was doing to our marriage, after our talk he began to take days just for me and it helped our relationship greatly.
