Now we go full circle, where I say “yes, but...let’s go back to the original conversation ”.You’re only vibrant and enjoying life without money until you or someone you love gets cancer. Then suddenly wealth is a lot more than just a luxury.
I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s not a panacea. I know some miserable people who are very well off. But given the choice, I’d say you’re far better off focusing on wealth creation than other pursuits.
Wealth creation does some awesome things, and personally I’ve been blessed beyond what I probably deserve.
On the flip side (going back), I’m going to disagree that someone’s life would be enhanced by the fiscal benefit of NOT being married or having kids as opposed to a few mil in the bank. It is almost impossible to describe the reality of being in a position where someone else’s happiness is more important than your own.
I can’t fault you for not getting on board with this concept if it’s not something that you have experience with.
I really, really don’t mean that to sound as condescending as it does when I read it. Please just think about some of your discussions with up and coming pilots, and unions, and how true it can be to say “...you’ll see when you experience the reality of *this* “
Respectfully...
