I became a millionaire before 30. I grew up in poverty surrounded by drug addicts and alcoholics. I thought that becoming a millionaire would make me happy and solve all my problems. It didn’t. After I achieved it, I felt nothing. That’s when I realized that the number means nothing. It’s all about what that number can do for you. It can buy you time. It can buy you freedom. It can remove the tethers of financial responsibility for bills so that you can pursue things that really matter to you. Cars, watches, clothes will do nothing for you either. They are short term dopamine hits to make yourself feel better to try and impress people that aren’t worth impressing. It’s also society programming you to believe those things matter. From birth, you’re programmed to be a consumer. Here is your real goal. Find purpose. Find passion. Find inspiration. Find God (if you choose). Follow those things like your life depends on it, because it does. Live a life worth living and don’t let material things rule over you and you’ll find happiness and fulfillment.
