Hi guys!!

I would be interested in how you think about sustainable living? There are many discussions about how to make big money, invest good and so on, but is it a big point for you to live that the next 1, 2, 3, 100 generations can have a good and stable life too?
And how important is this point for politicans and others?

I am excited :)

I guess you are talking about living off your investment income? Starting early in life is key, with the help of compounding interest it can be easy to save for retirement if you are consistent. The best investment (risk vs reward) for most people would be investing in a stock market index fund, but it is best not to keep all your eggs in one basket. You have to get to millionaire status if you really want to live off the yearly interest alone

First, you need to have the mindset of a rich person. This way you'll think rich and act rich. Ofcourse, you'll need to do tons of research on investment. Be smart and be wise. As early as now we should start investing for our future so as to extend our "royalties" up to the next generations. Politicians will be politicians...They will do anything to benefit from anything they can get their hands on.

I think what is best for the next generation is to teach them how to handle their money. You can save billions for them but if they dont know how to handle their money and just keep on spending, then that wealth wont last long.

Your arguments are good, but it´s not the sustainable living i mean!!
I was thinking about take care of nature, saving resources, climate change and so on...
Not to live that you kids have a good life too, to life that the next generations in general have it

The key, I believe, is try to make as little change as possible to the planet, whatever that change should be. So a closed ecosystem is the best option and it fits with our aspirations to leave on other planets as well.

We could live underground and not cut down forests for no reason, let along farming and wood. We should try to develop underground farming to a higher level. Use heat from the core of the planet or from solar panels in the desert to generate electricity that we use for artificial light in our underground farms.
Unlike some people, I actually believe that less organic and natural way of life is the best option for the planet. We should use GMOs to make underground farming more efficient and live our life with our inventions and interfere with nature as little as possible and let it run it's natural course without us.

The word choices might be confusing people that are not from a more environmental background, I read it as excitement for a guaranteed income, which is becoming more popular around the world as a idea to prosper.

I think War will alter the excitement you have for the future but I will bite and think about this issue.

The concept of a better world is really something that I think is not going to play out and the mold of it changes with each generation.
People are going to start dying from not being able to move out of areas that are now starting to be hit my severe weather changes and that alone will cause issues with how we navigate the political minefield.

I think it's a matter of being contented and living standards. I believe this one depends on how a person define sustainability in the first place. Your standars might suit him/hers. I think we should come up in a standard where all of the people agree that it's a sustainable life in order for the discussion interesting.

In order for you to have a sustainable living, you need to lessen your wants, lessen the expenses to the unimportant things. Give more focus on the daily needs, to the things that help you to survive the every day life. Stop asking for the things you don't really need.

Good ideas, but to be honest, who of us act like this?
In my opinion it´s a dream we can´t a achieve!!

A big issue is the job loses that we all face replaced with lesser paying jobs. Every day I turn on the computer to see a new job field that could be wiped out with robots and technology. Take construction, most cranes will be automated in the future, replacing all crane operators.
Have yet to see a solution for how we are going to address these issues of no pensions and low paying jobs well facing higher tuitions and skyrocketing housing prices.
Right now the rich are going all out and turning their back to turn a profit anyway possible and its going to be at least a generation of struggle before we see positive change that will pull the average person up.
Read recently that these changes are already hitting places like India with a lot of merchandize companies moving back to their original Countries due to cheaper robots and transport costs negating the cheaper wages. A bot can work faster and cheaper long term, so the 3rd World Countries are really going to suffer and take the first wave of change.

I don't think human are made for a smooth life.
When there is freedom, there will be differences.
Someone would love to go to work, watch TV and play with their kids.
While someone would go look for trouble to entertain themselves.

Ok, that´s a good point too.
I think people often need a egopush and that´s the problem and the reason for nearly every war or confrontation in general!!
They have to compensate their low ego with money, power and so on and that´s also the reason why an sustainable living will get more difficult from generation to generation maybe

In everyday lives, there are lots of things that need to sustain our life and our needs. We need money to sustain our daily needs. Without money, we can't live in this world. Through this money, it can helps us to buy different goods, vegetables, fish, meat, grain, clothes and also house in order for us to live in the world for a long perwof time.

everyday we need a money to buy a daily food and when we balance it we can save more money to spend our daily savings. thats the matter how to teach to the next generation to learn how to susutain their living!

Quiet excited we are talking about sustainability here earlier i got confused because i couldn't because when we talk about sustainable living in my world it is about the food we eat and the impact on our body i know thats sustainability but i believe in the sustainability of the earth and the solar system in a whole where are benefits and utilization of resources today wouldnt hinder future generations from achieving the same benefits. it is a good thing we are need to look at. In Germany the greens are very prominent party and they influence decision making a lot and if other people can adopt measures that will promote growth with posterity in mind the world will be a better place for the future

100% sustainable living is impossible due to a little thing we call entropy. That being said, maximizing the sustainability of life on earth pretty much boils down to minimizing our carbon footprint. Protect ecosystems and mother nature, and try to recycle as much as possible.

Sustain by definition is having something to last for a long time. If you want to sustain your living, you got to have a source of steady income. You can sustain life by having the basic necessities of life. You need a daily supply of food, water and clothing. If you can sustain this for one month, then you have to maintain that standing to sustain it. You can prolong this by hard working and not wasting money on irrelevant stuffs that you don't need.

If bitcoin is generating another source of income then you can sustain life.

In addition to minimizing our carbon footprints, we can use crypto to invest in funds that are environmentally friendly. Swarm Fund is a new way for individuals to invest in solar energy projects, which is pretty cool.

Generally all investments In alternative energy will have a very huge demand and profit. The fact is that to date there are a lot of projects that can practically save the world from many problems. Of course, this is a huge income.

I agree, but the problem with the prominent party called greens in some part of europe is, that their main focus drifted away from things like environmental Protection!! Now they are more into things like equal rights and so on. It´s good too, but not as half important than saving nature and things like that.

I too opened this thread thinking it was about sustainable living on the earth side of things. Some interesting points brought up here about underground farming. I haven’t heard much about it but like the idea. I also like the idea of focusing farming in areas that don’t destroy highly biodiverse ecosystems.

Also I get the GMO point about being more efficient than organic, but there are other issues about GMOs and the chemicals specifically

Sustainable living is knowing where and how you use your resources,not by living luxuriously.Example is by conserving energy,water,taking good care of the surroundings.The next generation still have a sustainable living if we are practicing to plant more trees to ease the impact of climate change.

Sustainable living is using your resources properly.  It is investing your living in a nice and feasible business.  Sustainable living is a way of spending your money on things that you may get an earning.  A stable job that will keep your living steady.

Having an income everyday will support and sustain your everyday living. Having a business to earn more income and profit to sustain all the needs you want is one way to sustainable living. And you can transfer the business you started to the next generation of the family for future  so that they can sustain their life when they are in exact age for them to live alone. Politicians this days are corrupts , not all but most politicians steals money from people , that is their way to sustainable living.

Sustainable living means that you can live and earn and be alive and well for the days to come and I think one point that we should always stress about is our ability and innovations that can make living sustainable is how we treat the world and our future

Sustainable is the opposite of our current money system. When a positive number in your pocket describes a negative asset, you are far away from sustainable living :D

For sustainable living I would recommend to start building a farm and be autonomous in every aspect.

today many people just think on the results obtained now without thinking the impact for future generations. for example there are still many farmers who use chemicals in farming, whereas chemicals can damage the soil and damage the existing ecosystem. to maintain sustainable living needs the application of organic farming

I think that this is one of the great things that ever happened. Before we used to suffer from a failed system which doesn't clearly work for all of us. Now, the good thing about sustainable living is that it is very stable and well organized.

For hundreds of year the best way to guarantee your kids a better life is to leave them real estate. It will be good in any way, even if it's cheap. At least they will have a roof over their heads.

If you want to ensure that your next and future generation will be living comfortably, then the only thing you could do is to actually instill strong values on them. Follow a code yourself and pass it on to your children. Money can run out but values instilled strongly will definitely be your legacy. Make it so that it could define your family name. Like how the same goes with in Game of Thrones, a Lannister always pays his debts... Stuff like that

sustainable mean as like recycling.when we recycle industrial waste not harmful social environment.

Human change and human meaning that continues all the time to develop in human life things that happen alternately from one form to another. From simple forms to more complex shapes, and anytime in a relatively short time. Changes due to outside influences. and this continues until man escapes from nature.

Sustainable living for the next generation?.. I think for me the best way to start teaching them is now, we should help our children of today to be more responsible in everything they did... to save money to, value whatever they have, to work on their lands if they have, because it will help them sustain physically if they have fruits and vegetable in their backyard.. to plant trees and to be responsible in throwing away garbage and other things and to be mindful of others as well.

Having a stable job and a business or part time work that can help generate money that is sustainable for the daily needs of a person. This is a dream every adult dreamt of.  Being able to work and spend money without thinking if it is enough for our needs and wants.

Unfortunately, ensuring stable life for all the future generations is impossible unless you do this secretly. First, we cant be sure new government won't take your possessions away. Second, you can't be sure your successors will be wise enough to save your wealth.

To sustain the next generation teach the children to be more responsible in everything, help them to value time, talent and treasure for this will help them to cope up to face life challenge in their own time, to plant and care for environment.

For me sustainable living is being able to sustain all the expenditures that are costing you your income. But you are having a source of money that is able to cover all and then some by having sabings, small investments and business that can keep you going

In short, sustainable living means practising a lifestyle that uses as few of Earth’s natural resources as possible, in an attempt to create the least amount of environmental damage for future generations.
Those who are committed to living a sustainable lifestyle will often try to reduce their carbon footprint by changing their means of transport, energy consumption and their diet- living in a way that is consistent with sustainability, and in balance with, and respectful of humanity’s symbiotic  relationship with the Earth’s natural ecology and cycles.Basically, sustainable living involves living on the Earth as lightly as possible- meeting one’s needs in the present without compromising the needs of future generations, so they too can enjoy the same high quality of life that people do today.

I think cats have a very sustainable living :)
And even more do insects, alas....

Very difficult to understand what you mean with this post, you mix up different arguments. Sustainable living for whom? For the person or the whole world?

I think it's enough to think about yourself and your nearest relatives...after all, even your children will most likely want a different life than you build...so you need to live the current time

What you mean is how can you sustain a living for the future...one that is stable and strong that even though you're retired you still have something to live for? is that what you mean?.. well first and fore most you've got to aim yourself and your mind right into something that will not lose... you've got to have right perspective in life that...there's no permanent in this world..everything change... so that whatever may happen in the future you won't get disappointed.. putting your money in bank, to save, some to invest, some for business work is all good more than anything you have to secure yourself-your health so that in the end you will enjoy all these things when you're retired and old.

A sustainable living is you are living with a sustainable kind of business you have a daily income and you have a source in everything you use and needs in your daily life

If we could download our minds and upload them to the computer, then this might work.

For me it is a living where you don't have to worry things anymore, I mean, everything is just sustainable,financially, physically, spiritually. In having a sustainable living is like  things are just in its proper perspective and everything is stable.

First, you must set possitive plans and goals ahead of you. Then, you must complete and accomplish it with the set time limit. Hardwork is the key to a successful and sustainable living. Rich people always dream and you must be one of them. Dream and make it happen. Work hard and achieve your goals.

How our next generation will be able to manage the finances that we inherit to them so that the money is not run-out or even more developed again, for that we must give good learning to them how to manage the money wisely so that they can  live a stable life
