RE: The Hidden Cost of Chasing Money
There are many quotes on the internet attributed to Steve Jobs, and one that is absolutely apocryphal is: Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up, they will know the value of things and not the price. Although this is clearly a fake, just like the lines stating that whether you wear a $300 or a $30 watch, they both tell the same time or whether you carry a $300 or a $30 wallet, the amount of money inside is the same, it continues to be shared worldwide. Your post actually reminded me of it. Let’s not deny reality: it would be nice to be rich, but in the end, what we truly need to live is the essentials. Chasing the superfluous and losing one's values is the real defeat. Namaste 💛

Poverty is bad! Being able to afford all that you need, can grant you joy. Again, most of the quote seen online are just crazy quotes; You can definitely tell the difference between the watch ⌚ of $300 from that of $30. And I tell you that both of them; going by newly emerging technologies have different use cases aside from just watching time
I think this post was about balancing priorities, and not confusing material wealth with a rich life. Anyway, I agree with you, poverty is a terrible thing, as is social inequality and the exploitation of people with very low wages for the profit of a few. But that would require another post and a lot of discussion. Thank you for your reply. Sending a hug 🙏
