I like the game of earn as much as I can, invest it as well as I can, compound it for as long as I can.

use that money to both live a great life right now and pass it along to my heirs and charity at various points in the future.

I love that game.

I freaking love it.

And I would be sad if I stopped playing that game.

And so I think that's the main motivator.

Yeah, I both completely agree with what both of you just said.

And I also think you can be a filthy rich, terrible parent or a parent who, you know, makes 45 grand a year.

and is an unbelievably good parent.

And so I think this gets back to the quantification of money just becoming the ultimate metric getting in the way.

I wrote about this in my last book.

I have a good friend of mine.

I've known him for more than 20 years.

One of my favorite people in the entire world.

He's so funny.

He tells such good stories.

He's so much fun to hang out with.

I can't wait to see him every time we hang out.

And among our friend group, he by far earns the least amount of money by far.

And it really bothers him.
