I’ve asked friends, people sitting next to me at airports, and the occasional person who finds out that I blog about money this very question. I always get the same free answers. “More” “There’s never enough” “$1 million dollars”.
That used to be me. I bought into the myth of more. It was an empty way to live a life. I was told early in my career that money is a scorecard. I was also told it’s a measure of how much value you have put into the world. But neither of those are true.
How much money you have in the bank is simply how much exchange-value you possess. That’s it. Sure, you can trade it for a ton of things — even your freedom, but it’s not a measure of your value. Don’t let anyone tell you that.
How much money you have isn’t a reflection of your value.
