They will not give a shit about your feelings and have no problem not recycling because, they ACTUALLY HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS. Rich people are stupid if they never been broke, because they wont understand. Everyone has to be broke at least a few time to be a usefull human.

I think people tend to get standard of living and quality of life confused. Standard of living refers to how much material goods you can own, while quality of life related to personal factors that affect happiness. You could have a high standard of living, but a poor quality of life, which will make you miserable. I also like to the idea of diminishing returns to the happiness-money graph. As you earn more money, the amount of personal fulfillment you get from each dollar will decrease. For example, a poor person would be happy with having simply enough money to eat, while a middle class person would be happy to have enough money to buy a nice tv. A rich person might not feel happy unless they can get themselves a sportscar or a yacht. Over time, you will need more and more money to make a significant increase in your happiness. Yes, money will solve most of your problems, but ONLY if you are broke or in financial need. I will note that middle class and upper class people will tend to be happier than poorer people because they can focus on their personal life and have access to resources that improve their quality of living (plenty of entertainment, therapy, etc). However, my opinion is that, after a certain point, you can stop worrying about chasing money and instead focus on your quality of life.

This reminds my of the fantastic Japanese concept of "Ikigai" - or ultimate purpose/reason for being. It's a Venn diagram of overlapping circles of purposes. 1) "What you are good at"; 2) "What you love"; 3) "What the world needs"; and 4) "What you can get paid for". *Passion* is when "What you love" and "What you are good at" overlap. *Mission* is when "What you love" and "What the world needs" overlap. *Vocation* is when "What you are good at" and "What the world needs" overlap. *Profession* is when "What the world needs" and "What you are good at" overlap. *Ikigai* - ultimate purpose of the holy grail of happiness - is when all four circles overlap. I haven't found it yet, but I'm trying. Peace!

This brings back so many memories. I spent 2 years in community college studying accounting. It was a job that I could do (because I was good at math) and the money was great. But going to those classes and seeing how the next 40-50 years of my life would pan out just really sucked to me. Then one day when I was driving home from class I saw a house that was on fire and firefighters running into the building without hesitation and putting that fire out just sparked something inside of me. About 3 days later I volunteered at my communities fire department and started taking fire studies classes and went on calls to fires, care wrecks and even just making sure the elders of the community were okay due to the fact no one had heard from them for a couple of days. I then knew what I wanted to do with my life. After about a month volunteering I dropped out of college and my accounting classes and kept pursuing a career in firefighting. Eventually I became a certified EMT Firefighter and got a job with my cities fire department. I make good money, enough to pay my bills, buy my food, afford gas for my vehicle, buy clothes, etc. Plus at the end of the week I still will have around $100 to go on a real date with my girlfriend, you know, dinner plus a movie. That kind of thing. Yes, I work a dangerous job that could possibly cause my death at any moment. But at the same time I couldn't see myself doing anything else. I get paid enough money to live a good life and still have a fun weekend with my lady and my friends, all while saving lives and protecting people. What more could you ask for?

One of the things to consider is that even with his $1.2 million a year his net income might be say, for example, $712,000. From their take out the mortgage payment on that $2,000,000 home of $120,000 per year. So, now he's down to $592,000 left. Oh, but wait, the leases on those two new $100,000 cars? Those leases are about $100,000 annually. So, now he's left with $492,000.... Then feeding the two kids, vacations, entertainment expenses, credit card bills, club memberships, etc. Anyway the point is that depending on his lifestyle expenses he may not have a lot left over. So, most likely 5 years will not get him there. Most people will upgrade their lifestyle every time there income increases ( " I deserve it mentality"). Living within or below your means is one of the hardest things to learn and do! Too much debt will reduce your state of happiness and general peace of mind. But , yeah, if he could save a chunk of that $1.2 million he may be able to retire early. IF...

I'm incredibly lucky to have found myself in the position I'm in today. I had a lot of mental and physical health issues in my late teens that culminated in me hitting rock bottom. I spent my life savings flying to the other side of the world to work as a model and found myself sick, starving and exploited but I kept appearances up on social media. During those two years I was fortunate to see some amazing places and work with great designers but the time came for me to be a mature student and get into uni to study as a food engineer. Yeah, I'm borrowing tonnes of money from the government and spending every waking hour studying and working but I have my physical and mental health again! My coworkers call me the happiest dishwasher they've ever seen. I'm not partying with celebrities and billionaires anymore or working with luxury designers but I wake up everyday excited and fulfilled. I'm becoming the person I've always dreamed of being - a woman in STEM!! I study and work as hard as I can because one day I will nourish the world, and work on supporting the population with sustainable, accessible and healthy food. Idk, I'm broke but I'm happy as hell and all I can do is help others find that level of self fulfilment that I have.

I read in a book called The Happiness Hypothesis about a study on money and happiness and they found that 70,000 USD was the general cutoff point for when money stoped increasing your happiness. That if you got a raise from 60-70K you'd be happier, but if you got a raise from 70-150K you'd be about the same. Which really does make sense ... as someone who used to make loads of money writing software and then went from making no money teaching yoga to making a decent salary teaching yoga in Bangkok, I've been through all levels of where money will impact my happiness and I know it's right at around that point (well less in Bangkok, but oddly around 70,000 Baht a month is about what it takes here to be happy and not stress over money).

I really enjoyed this one Casey. I'd add one more twist...about taking a risk in life to move towards something you really want to do or try. Taking a leap of faith could possibly reintroduce the Money Problems which is scary. It feels very uncomfortable to leave the luxury of working on Life Problems knowing oh boy...this move might make me have to work on the Money problems again too. So you choose to stay "comfortable" to minimize pain. But instead, you should minimize those money problems/risks. Paying off debt, selling what you don't need, temporarily downgrading where you can to help give you a little more courage and freedom to jump.

Casey is right! About 6-8 months ago I was homeless and couch surfing because of family issues. I used to live paycheck to paycheck relying on tips from my job to get me through the week, I never knew where I was going to sleep at night and made peanut butter sandwiches in my car because buying a loaf of bread and some pb was cheaper than eating out. One day I was falsely arrested for something I didn't do, the police took the last 30 dollars I had to my name and threw me in jail (the case got dropped). If I had money at the time my life would have been significantly less stressful. I had a relationship fallout through my homelessness and barely managed to pass a semester in college while sleeping on my friends floor/couches. Be grateful for the money you have and decent people around you :)
