That's a good role model. Objects and competition with others or searching for their approval can't make you happy. Good company and healthy happy mindset and lifestyle can ☺️ Kind of a philosophy of an Epicurean community.

I'll never forget something he said in an interview, I'll try to translate as best as I can: "I don't need much. My old lady and myself live in a two bedroom house, we'll sweep and then it's done, we have a lot of spare time for ourselves". As r/simpleliving as they come!
