Quotes to ponder:
"I hate to be the one to deliver this news to you, but a wealthy person's relationship to money should actually be pretty boring, if you are doing it right."
"Unlimited money can be like a video game on cheat mode. It can drain the challenge from most areas of life and leave you lazy and paralyzed."
"Once you have flushed out the false excitement of consumerism, a busy career, and financial drama, you get to create an actual life for yourself instead."
