[quote=Anonymous]Money is helpful for certain things. But I'm not jealous in the sense of wanting to change places with people who have more. Growing up poor was an impetus to fight for every accomplishment in my life, and gave me compassion for people who struggle. I do not take the opportunities I have had for granted. I work a job that gives our family more than enough and that is meaningful to me. My children see a working parent with a sense of purpose in life. They see us putting in effort to overcome challenges and make something of what we have. Obviously you can do all that with money, too, but I certainly wouldn't want so much money that my life consisted in seeking out one optimal experience after another. I feel like that kind of life would be missing something important.[/quote]
