Nothing Beats The Simple Life
08
John was devastated when he lost his job. As far as he was concerned, his life was over. He was addicted to his lifestyle. And how would he ever score with women if he didn’t have an expensive car? John was one of those people who was driven by success. When it was taken from him, he felt he had no reason to go on.
John wasn’t about to give up, though. He picked himself up and started looking for another job. He was good at what he did. Surely, if there was a similar job in town, he would be the first one to qualify for it.
It took six months before John realized that he simply wasn’t going to get as good a job as the one he’d had before. Selling real estate was his game, but real estate wasn’t selling. The big guns in real estate had all slashed their staff numbers and wouldn’t even let him work on commission.
Finally, John ended up being their customer when he was forced to sell his penthouse condominium. Fortunately, he had gotten a deal on a foreclosure back when foreclosures were rare. Unfortunately, he had to sell it at a near foreclosure price. When he finished paying off all his debts, he didn’t have enough money to invest in even a ground floor studio in his old location. It was time to move on.
Reluctantly, John moved out of the big city when he finally found a job in an office in a little tourist town about two hours drive outside of town. Instead of investing in a small home in that area, he decided to hang onto the cash that he had and rent a small home instead.
The house was unfurnished, but a lot of the stuff from his old condo just wouldn’t fit into the much smaller space he now had. He went out and bought a loft bed first, since there was no way his king bed was going to fit. After he got used to it, John started to like the loft. It made him feel like the little kid who got the top bunk.
When he tried putting the modern bar stools from his penthouse in his new place, they looked ridiculously out of place. In fact, except for one leather lounge set, all of his stuff did, so he sold it.
He replaced his old stools with some wood bar stools that he bought from an elderly gentleman in his neighborhood who had a garage workshop. They were beautiful stools and as a bonus, John became good friends with the old man.
As time went on, John slowed down to the pace of his new neighborhood. After awhile, he looked back on his old life and realized that he had only thought he’d had it made there. Here, where life gave you time to relax and enjoy yourself, he was happy. As for attracting women, he also found the girl who became his wife.
