I never plan more than 3-4 years ahead. Because my path usually changes unforeseeably within that time period, for the better.

Plus I don't expect "savings" alone to get me where I want to be financially. Also gives me more motivational leverage.

I am a little familiar with Buddhism. Ultimately, objectively nothing matters. Enlightenment doesn't matter. Becoming uuber wealthy doesn't matter. Reality and existence is nothing more than a game or a really big improv play with a loose and changeable script. We are allowed to choose how we play or perform. The game(s) have rules and we are influenced by them.

I want both spiritual attainment and material attainment. Maybe these to will conflict in the future but from my limited understanding they aren't currently conflicting for "me".

Actually the opposite has occurred for me. Learning about proper methods of material attainment has required me to first learn about nonphysical attainment first. ;D

If you believe in reincarnation and all that stuff(not saying yes or no either way) then you should also believe that people are where they need to be, to learn what they need to learn or become what they need to become. I know what poverty is like and people just giving me shit all the time would have been a disservice and stunted my growth.

Poor gonna poor.

I don't believe in amassing wealth by taking from others, I believe in offering equal or lucrative exchange.

>Gluttony
Is there a such thing as spiritual gluttony?

I personally think gluttony is about indulgence to the point of losing control. If you are never a slave to the dough does that mean you can have as much as you please?
