Note that there is a difference between wanting to have more money and wanting to make more money.
The author seems to be lucky in being born with the latter trait, but most humans luckily don't.
If you're in the other group, feel free to simply ignore this advice. Make money to support yourself and your surroundings, but don't feel sad that you can't constantly do the things you love. It is just not how reality works.
- mehphp 2y agoCan you elaborate on the difference, I’m not sure I get it.
- smokel 2y agoI, for one, love to think about having a lot of money that I can spend on fun things. I do, however, not love coming up with schemes all day to actually transfer that money from someone else's pocket to mine first.
- ddorian43 2y agoPeople want the "end result" of making money (having money), not the "process" of making money. Say you make a startup, you "make money" by working hard for 5 years, but you "have money" only when you exit in the end.
- stronglikedan 2y agoThere's people that would be happy winning the lottery, and others that would be happier if they had worked for it.
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoIf you have the first trait but not the second then you are pretty much doomed to misery (unless you happen to be very lucky).
