Maybe...

Maybe we're going about living all wrong.

Everything we do is driven by money. We go to school so we can get a good job and make a lot of money. We go to work to directly MAKE money. We look for coupons and good deals so we can save money. The list goes on and on.

The thing is, money will never make you happy. Only you can make you happy.

And none of us are guaranteed tomorrow - let alone retirement.

So maybe we should focus on enjoying life and being remembered as a good person.

I know I wouldn't think any less of my role models if they didn't have a big house or a nice car. It's not coming with them when they go to the big gym in the sky anyway.

"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity." -- Ecclesiastes 3:19
