this actually sounds to me in agreement
1. yes, the priorities might be skewed
2. you just demonstrated that even Bezos is definitely not free from obligations and time commitments, such as his marriage, running a huge company, etc. The fact that he can afford to do anything in the world money-wise does not relieve even him from having to make "free time" to spend on family or else it will fail, etc. So, totally a matter of priorities.
- TylerE 4y agoWhat he’s saying is that money can buy time. Like, imagine having a personal shopper who buys you stylish, perfectly fitting new clothes regularly, that just show up in your closet like magic.
- twelve40 4y agoMaybe. I happened to be in Thailand right now hanging out with expats. It's not really my cup of tea, but many of them hang out at the beach all day every day for months and even years, and pay next to nothing. They have no personal shoppers or money concerns, and infinite amounts of "free time". I couldn't live like that and I choose to invest such "free time" into work (currently) and I'm fine with that. But if you want to optimize specifically for free time, this is certainly doable without being Bezos, some people here worked washing dishes in the US.
