This is one of your best articles! Very thought provoking and you sent me down the rabbit hole of researching Abraham Maslow. Thanks for that. Money doesn't buy happiness. I'm a believer of this but I still like to have some. I've been quite lucky so far, having worked in a profession I loved and now having a comfortable retirement. Looking back, I made some pretty good money choices but honestly it feels like luck played an outsize role; and I probably have an excellent guardian angel. I enjoy your writings and look forward to future ones.
What a great story. I think I'm close to the same age as the author but was luckier because I landed a job I loved that paid well. But the point in the story that made an impact on me was how people across the world just want to raise their kids and provide a decent life and they are often happy with very little "stuff" in their possession. This will be the best thing I read on the internet today; and I read a lot. I'm sending this article to my grown up kids.
