Just recently, I had to visit the ER due to stress levels that caused me to get anxiety attacks, over working myself for the comfort n status to be accepted by others, thinking it would bring me a sense of respect if I made more money, to feel superior to others. I had to reevaluate myself at that point and learned a good lesson the day I got sick. I learned that chasing money made me miserable, unhappy, and greedy. I'm now working normal hours, no overtime, and health is my first priority. Anything that brings me unnecessary stress, I remove it from my life or politely walk away.

Retired at 45. Been living overseas in Costa Rica, Thailand, and Laos. Work hard. Invest. Get out early. Enjoy your life! Money isnât happiness, itâs jet fuel that takes you where you want to go. But knowing where to go, and going there. . . That takes true grit, determination, creativity, and vision.

My mom was always working and sleeping while my dad tried his best to find time to spend time my sister and I. He would always take us to trips like Mexico, Las Vegas and Disneyland. When I look back at my pictures when I was a child, it was always my sister, my dad, and I but never my mom. When he passed away last year I have pictures and memories of him that I can cherish. My mom is growing old and has just realized that life is more than just about working for money. There has to be a healthy balance between working and living life.

Four years ago I retired and sold everything I owned, and now I live in a tiny jeep Cherokee exploring the US. I have learned that money. and expensive toys will not make you happy. I have learned not to be a slave to your junk and too much comfort is dangerous. I am now stress-free, and the happiest I have ever been.

Your HEALTH and TIME means way more than Money. Both of these can't be purchased no matter how much money you have. Enjoy your one life while you have a chance with no matter how little money you have. When you get older, that brand new car you purchased in the 90s will mean nothing when you don't have your health or have time to really do what you actually always wanted to do and put it off to make money. You can't take it with you, NOTHING.

My ex needs to see this video! He became his career - and had an Ego to match and dumped me to pursue it because his parents indoctrinated into him that status and money is what makes you a man! He will end up lonely and alone, trust me. I, on the other hand, make money work for me - bought my first house at 19, worked like a Trojan and paid the mortgage off when I was 34 and then my money was mine to do as I liked. I live a very humble life because I never try (or feel the need) to impress other people: my car is 23 years old, I buy my clothes from thrift shops and donât fill my house or life with clutter. But my Aunt summed (British) people up years ago: she said âThey spend money they havenât got, to buy things they donât need, to impress people they donât likeâ. Think about it âŚâŚ

Great video! Yes, so I was burned out from work about 2 years ago. My back actually went out and I was out of work for one month. I went back to work after the month off, but told my manager that I needed to go down on my work hours and she thankfully said yes. So, now I make less money, but I decreased my expenses quite a bit. Found a cheaper place to rent, no more eating out and no more spending money on clothes. And I am soooooo much more happier now! Itâs all about balance and finding what is right for you.

A key question to ask in tandem is âhow much free time do I want, and how do I want to spend it?â
While a certain amount of leisure is essential to a satisfying life, research shows that people tend to feel more fulfilled and gain more meaning from their work/productive endeavours than they do from their leisure time. If you ask people how theyâd spend all their time if they didnât have to work, most wouldnât be able to provide a clear answer beyond what theyâd want to do for the first few months. In my view, the reason you tend to spend a large part of your time working, William, is because youâre living your purpose and furthering that purpose provides you more fulfillment, on average, than additional hours of leisure time. That being said, I think Sprouhtâs mission is an important one, and thus each additional hour of work your team spends results in a great amount of value in the aggregate for your viewers, so thank you!

This video was excellent. Despite growing up in a Chinese household where I was considered a failure and black sheep for not adhering to traditional expectations, I have learned a lot about what I truly want from money in my 30 years of life. My family may not be aware, but I have achieved the standard American dream by purchasing a house and cars and serving in the military. I was born in Hong Kong, immigrated to the US, and have had the opportunity to explore different parts of the world. I have also made mistakes, such as buying and selling houses and losing hard-earned money, but I have learned valuable lessons from those experiences.
As many mentioned in the video, money provides a sense of security, which is important to me. I desire to earn more money so that I can provide meaningful experiences for my children and donate to public school teachers. This would give my money a purpose and fulfill a dream of mine.

My husband worked all the time, leaving little time for my son and I. At one point I asked him just how much money did he think we needed to live a comfortable life? He surprised me by quoting a low number, in fact, it was much less than the amount of both his and my income combined. While he enjoyed his job and the material comforts it brought, he was often stressed out and never took time for a vacation. A few years later he died in a car accident (on his way to work) at the age of 53. Since then I always step back and re-evaluate my priorities. Perhaps that is something we need to instil in our children. Money may bring security, perhaps even happiness but it certainly can not bring back time. Life is way too short.
