Fun, production and consumption

Fun, production and consumption

We live in a consumer society. I think it is correct to say that the internet offers an infinite amount of “stuff” for you to consume. Amazing! What has this got to do with your retirement?

Well, as a worker (in whatever capacity you worked) you produced, so it’s natural to equate your retirement with consumption. You deserve it don’t you?

You do, but…as a consumer you take what is offered, whereas as a producer you can MAKE: art, craft, music, books etc.

They even say that when you are “in the flow” of making you will experience high levels of satisfaction. And even have fun. 

Call to action: consume less, produce more and have fun!
