What Work Is Really For

Interesting OpEd piece in the NYT regarding work, leisure, and consumerism/capitalism.  Quite Mustachian, IMO.
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

The book he mentions looks like a good candidate for the book club.
