There seem to be all kinds of priest-ly subcultures that seem really good banishing a lot of their wants that might make them want things from other people. I don't know much about them though.But in any case why people want what they want is an issue that should be explored more
Consider: you get a job in the city center & commute ~1 hour each way. You lose ~10 hours/day, but if you got a more expensive apartment nearby you could do ~8.5 hours/day. Even if you buy your time back @ the same rate you sell it, now you’re locked into a new long-term expense

Yes. Better to find a way to enjoy the commute – or any one of countless ideas that avoid being tied down. Also: a job that's an 8-hour unmitigated *loss* every day is…a problem. Addressing it should be high on the agenda.

Didn't even imagine something like that. This is terrible.
