Respecting odd people like transexuals and shit and worrying about safety or environment is like no priority for poor people. 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 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?

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!

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 think at the end of the day it all comes back to sell awareness, there are people out there who truly feel happy when they are crushing it in business, and others feel happy when they are with their family, and only making a little bit of money each month to support them. I think the only time when you are living "Wrong" is when you are disingenuous to yourself, and not living up to what your version of success is.
@thicknick7345 жыл бұрын
This is probably the most important comment in this comments section. Yeah, money matters, but self awareness is the key. Success means different things to everyone, it might mean having 1 million dollars to person a but to person b it might mean having happiness with their family and raising healthy children. I think nowadays for many people it can be harder to find happiness and meaning, with all the social media attention whores riding around in their lambos. Figure out what exactly you want, and work towards that.

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.

But just because you have a job that pays well, doesn't make you happy..... My brother works at Nestle as an Engineering manager overlooking a lot of staff making 120k a year but he hates it. He said it's stressful, he is on the call all the time, he has to work long hours, gets home late, can't spend time with his family much, and he pretty much doesn't have a life outside of work. Who want's to live like this? I don't. I am a computer technician at an intermediate school who loves my job and I work 40 hours a week with every weekend off. My work/life balance is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Sure I only get 43k a year but I don't mind. I am not struggling either because my girl makes 70k a year as a CT/Xray Technician at a big hospital. My job is not stressful usually, I am the only IT guy in my school building and I don't have a boss looking down at me 24/7, I get paid holidays off, a lot of vacation days and sick days. It's just super chill and I love it. Because I only work 40 hours a week I have time to do whatever I want when I get off of work at 3:30pm every day. From 4pm to 12am on Monday-Friday it is just chill and I get to spend time with my girl, family, friends. Just can't beat it man. What good is money when you have no time to enjoy yourself? This is the motto I live by.

You have a very good job and it pays well to cover your expenses. You get enough time to do something else or in simple words enjoy life.

In the western society we are building a culture where it’s “greedy” or “evil” to admit you’re in pursuit of money. The TRUTH is money is a physical form of power. It cannot buy every solution, but it can increase the likelihood of happiness in every aspect of your life. Pursuing money is ethical. Go get the life you want.
@antox005 жыл бұрын
But pursuing power is greedy, as well as pursuing money, and damages our society. Power should be obtained as a mean to do what you are good at, it should never be the aim.

Totally identify with this. I was living an absolutely amazing life as a student, trainee, and then I did what I'd been told at school and Uni and became a lawyer. Bang, everything became totally Sh**. Looking back, I had totally gone out of my flow, enjoying life - and the spiral down into depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, all that stuff became very real 2008-2015... But here is the thing: Find something you love and which gives you joy, and you *literally* never "work" a day again... I am extremely lucky I found that, because now I teach women (and soon guys too) how to destress and easily lose weight for the long term. All the down spiral, depressive episodes, difficulties that came from stepping out of my flow actually provided all the tools needed to re-discover it, and now I'm helping hundreds of folks do the same. So I totally get where you're coming from with the whole money solving problems part - but there is an aspect to it where you do need to have that overarching fulfilment, purpose "Thing" that drives you and pulls you forward - because otherwise you get the same thing as what you said with the story of the hedge fund guy, and that is exactly the same as mine being a corporate lawyer. The secret is to find that Flow and Boom: You never work a day again :)

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.
