Yes, probably a very contented man who feels comfortable the way he lives, without always striving to "have" or "be" more than that.<br />I have never been particularly ambitious myself, and rather have (and use) the same old things for as long as they are useable before I buy anything new. But every now and then, I like to splash out, such as when I bought my bedroom furniture 11 years ago, or swapped my bedroom and living room in 2016, spending a fortune on wallpaper and professional decorating.<br />Actually, I think I have it all, too - a job I enjoy, a flat I love, friends and family; if only there could be an easy, fair solution for OK and my living situation!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.com
