Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed
Well I’m in the working world again. I’ve found myself a well-paying
gig in the engineering industry, and life finally feels like it’s
returning to normal after my nine months of traveling.
Because I had been living quite a different lifestyle while I was
away, this sudden transition to 9-to-5 existence has exposed something
about it that I overlooked before.

Since the moment I was offered the job, I’ve been markedly more
careless with my money. Not stupid, just a little quick to pull out my
wallet. As a small example, I’m buying expensive coffees again, even
though they aren’t nearly as good as New Zealand’s exceptional flat
whites, and I don’t get to savor the experience of drinking them on a
sunny café patio. When I was away these purchases were less off-handed,
and I enjoyed them more.
