If there’s one thing I hope you’ll take from this is that…this is it. This is the one life we for sure know we get. We all have to work, but to waste it working yourself into the ground while it passes you by is madness, and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

If you can give a buck, great—and thank you. If not, then maybe give yourself a break. Take a day off. Sit in a park. Lie in bed watching bad movies all day. Or do absolutely nothing—and do it without guilt.

If “Give dave a Buck” inspires you to do that, even once, then it’s been worth it. And if it made you smile, or not feel so alone in how you feel about the working life—even better.

If this site resonates with you, please pass on a link to like-minded people and help spread the message that there’s no shame in enjoying time not spent working. I will be forever grateful.

May we all get a little more free time to actually live—and enjoy—this life while we can. I wish you all the best.
