SIgh.

Ignored when I brought the good news.

Loathed when I brought the bad.

There's no winning this, is there?

Why do people have more than one child? Isn't the whole fucking point of life to build up your nest egg to a size that's big enough that it's infinitely sustainable?

Why on God's green earth would you have more than one child, so they have to go through the bullshit of building up the nest egg to that point?

Isn't having more than one child subjecting your bloodline to the myth of sysiphus?

Yeah materialism is not the path to happiness I totally agree. I think you're assuming I'm wanting to work so I can buy more and more possessions whereas what I'm actually advocating is work as an end in itself. I live very ascetic life (hence why I'm in this thread in the first place) and get pleasure, like you, from not having loads of stuff cluttering my life. Work gives you purpose and structure that is valuable regardless of the money it provides, that's what I'm saying. A major part of happiness comes from setting goals and achieving them. For many, these goals are within their jobs i.e. hitting their sales targets or whatever. For me my goal at the moment is to get experience, skills and money to start my own business. Setting goals and working hard to achieve them, even if they are arbitrary goals, makes me happy and, I'd wager, makes 99.99% of humans happy also. I think you're assuming work is always a means to some materialistic for which I can see why you'd think it's pointless. I'm not saying that though. I'm saying that it's an end in itself.

I need me some good reliable software that is low priced or free to keep track of inventory.

My company is an online retailer that buys items from wholesalers and then packs them into bundles - this seems to be an issue for a lot of basic inventory systems that can't handle composite products/bundles/kits.

We started up about two months ago and we have literally just been keeping track of stock by eyeballing it, but this is getting out of hand as more and more orders are coming in, so I need a solution.

I've also got an eye to further growth, so I need software that will still work for the business as it grows.

I have been looking at ERP programs like Odoo, which might work, although I have read that some of the coding is pretty poor.

Has anyone got any suggestions?
