The money myth

• sarreph 12y ago
  A somewhat interesting anecdotal snippet, but the ending was far too abrupt. Almost zero analysis as to the author's feelings about money being a myth makes the article feel like a "I used to be poor, but even when I got a 400k bonus, I still didn't want to buy good gloves"... Okay then, I guess I'll stop thinking there's security in money...

    It's an "infomercial" for a book.

      You are, of course, right — perhaps I didn't make it clear enough in calling it a 'snippet' (i.e. extract) — but I feel this is far too paltry even if it is trying to sell a book!

  Only the rich say that money doesn't matter.

    Just like people who go to Stanford and Ivies say college doesn't matter.

  I fail to follow the point of this article, especially given the author's stated insincerity regarding compassion.

  I'd say there's an upper bound where more money doesn't correlate with any positive emotions, but poverty is most definitely misery.
