Before the concept of money, food was the source of value and some cultures used it like money. Food is life and it's in our nature to value hoarding or protecting our territory for the sake of it. We might become protective of tools which help us to get food, so that hoarding extends to something outside of food. I believe money is just an extension of that need for for and water.

But, I digress, your post want really about that. :D

My husband started getting signs of heat attack when he was in a job where he was being bullied. It turned out that his heart was perfectly healthy, but it was a wake up call that no job is worth getting that het up about. I want to get us in a position where we don't have to worry so much about a certain income level and paying our mortgage off would put us in that position. Our debts are our shackles and that's why I don't want my daughter getting loans for uni.

An alternative, I guess, would be selling up and living in a mobile home, but then that fear creeps in, what if we can't get enough work along the way to support the lifestyle.
