Someone name (off the top of their head) the ten wealthiest men - in the correct order - back in 1970.
Irrelavent. Can anyone name the top 10 wealthiest in the correct order, today? More importantly, why does it matter whether you know or not. What counts is whether they consider to be living the life that makes them feel great. What's wrong with that involving money for some people?
You think money can't bring happiness? Look at the f*ing smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.
Dude, you completely, totally, utterly missed the point of my comment. Where did I say that money can't bring happiness? Where did I say that wealth is a bad thing?
Let me restate the point of it for you, since it clearly went over your head: In life, it's best to have a personal (internal) measuring stick that keeps you grounded regardless of how you choose to play the "numbers" game...
Life loves to subject us to the useless positional (numbers) measuring sticks that mean nothing in the long term.
It means a lot to me in the long term that I'm living in a nice big house with a nice big garden for my kids to play in, which is also close to a world class city and world class companies. That's going to be very expensive. Therefore money isn't a useless positional measurement stick that means nothing in the long term to me. It's an incredibly important number that if I attain will mean fulfilling a dream and bringing me and my family much happiness. No internal measurement stick is going to make me happy about being forced to bring up my kids in a trailer park in rural Texas.
