The situation I describe above applies to plenty of software engineers in the Bay Area. I have a few friends that are struggling to cope with the ridiculously high rents, while trying to balance and find a safe area to raise a family. It ha

I think being a multi-millionaire and being able to do whatever you want, including nothing, is the real key to being able to "find joy". I don't think it has anything to do with his "exercises". Take away his milli
