That's a great point about consumer goods, you see the line ups over here during the holidays where people lose their mind for a 60 inch TV that's on sale. I've never understood that...But to each their own I suppose.
Investing! I love it! And living off those investments has always been my goal. I've read so many books about people living off of dividends they get off stocks alone. That's empowering to me. What a great way to think about real 'wealth'...It's freedom!
I hope Steem is my version of 'dividend payments' from stocks....Crossing my fingers :)
