The Uruyguan president lives a very normal lifestyle, as featured on the BBC today.
Although, it might not be quite as simplistic as they make out, (can anyone else see more than one 3 legged guard dog called Maneula?) the essence is there. He chooses not to live a lavish life.
My favourite quote is this:
' "I'm called 'the poorest president', but I don't feel poor. Poor people
are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and
always want more and more," he says.'
We can certainly all learn from this, especially in Britian. If being poor, is not having enough, then certainly those wanting more are poor, not those content with very little.
