Thank you for that!

Money does buy happiness, up to a point. But once your shelter, sustenance, and medical needs are taken care of, as well as those of your family, and you have some left over to save for retirement and hedge against misfortune, and can provide an education for your children, and can splurge on an occasional luxury or experience, then it just becomes scorekeeping. Worse, it becomes scorekeeping in a game you play against your friends and neighbors, turning them into objects of your envy or turning yourself into an object of envy for them.

Before I die, I hope the world comes to realize what you already did.
