Dude, you completely, totally, utterly missed the point of my comment. Where did I say that money can't bring happiness? Where did I say that wealth is a bad thing?
Let me restate the point of it for you, since it clearly went over your head: In life, it's best to have a personal (internal) measuring stick that keeps you grounded regardless of how you choose to play the "numbers" game...
- srgseg 16y agoLife loves to subject us to the useless positional (numbers) measuring sticks that mean nothing in the long term. It means a lot to me in the long term that I'm living in a nice big house with a nice big garden for my kids to play in, which is also close to a world class city and world class companies. That's going to be very expensive. Therefore money isn't a useless positional measurement stick that means nothing in the long term to me. It's an incredibly important number that if I attain will mean fulfilling a dream and bringing me and my family much happiness. No internal measurement stick is going to make me happy about being forced to bring up my kids in a trailer park in rural Texas.
