So these are two common mindsets people have when approaching their careers, their jobs, their work. I am never going to condemn somebody else's choice for how they choose to live their life, just simply inform on a discovery I recently stumbled upon.

I'm the type that is minimal and likes experiences wayyyyyy more than buying things. I also LOVE investing and saving money. So much so that it can actually get me in trouble. You see, people that love material things tend to think about money a lot to support the wheel of buying nicer things. 

![noah-silliman-107988.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbQTwK4vemQAuBdQsMgU9Qtjc2ncn3naSjhfR1Hdqfdmz/noah-silliman-107988.jpg)

The point of being minimal is that you don't have to devote the same time to worrying about making money, and actually working for money as well. However, I have become so obsessed with investing and saving as much as possible that I was thinking about money as much or even MORE than the very lifestyle I try to avoid.

Then I remembered something... 

The old saying, " Are you living to work, or working to live". I had started living to work, so that I could reinvest. I guess this isn't the worst thing in the world since you're technically not spending your money (unless your investments go bad ;) , but still I was thinking about money way more than I should have been...

Now I'm not ever going to come out and say one is better than the other. Some people absolutely love working. 

But for my happiness I remembered this, and it brought me back down to earth.
