Quite a lot of us live by the creed of “Work hard for the money.” That’s why it’s not uncommon for driven people to put in overtime work almost every day.
This obsession over money can be unhealthy. Often times these same people will be neglecting everything else just to put up their millions thinking that they need at least eight figures to retire on.
The problem is, other aspects of their lives also suffer – spouses feel neglected, children don’t get to know parents, and health issues arise from all the stress.
The lack of feeling content can actually kill as earning money becomes an obsession all the while the question, “How much do you really need?” rarely gets addressed.
Material happiness does contribute to the overall but it’s only a part of it. Don’t believe the Mastercard bullshit about “everything else.”
As the Seneca said, “It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor.”
