Being rich isn’t the end all be all of life, so you shouldn’t focus on it. An obsessed with wealth doesn’t usually end once you have your first million. Many wealth obsessed people do not get enjoy the expensive things they buy. Truly greedy people aren’t ever satisfied with what they have, and having an insatiable lust for riches and material possessions is no way to live.

also, don’t worry so much about money… if you do something that you like and that you’re good at, money will come in time. there’s no way to say that you’ll be rich for sure. that’s a generalization… my mom’s best friend is a lawyer, one of the best in our state, but she doesn’t make more than $70,000 a year because she loves her work so much that she does a lot of pro bono work for the homeless.

money isn’t everything in life, honey. there’s a lot to be said for doing what you love to do and finding pleasure in the things that make you happy.
