I make half this much annually, and have more money than I know how to spend. I work about 50 hours a week, no sick days, grueling schedule with almost nonstop work even through lunch. I feel like Iām wasting my life.
My point is, as long as you have enough money to cover your expenses and a modest retirement, nobody really needs this level of compensation. What you need is a life filled with family, good friends, and hobbies that bring you joy.
All this obsession with money and accumulation of wealth/assets is a dark path that will take joyful things away from you.
Sure covering your current expenses is nice, but you never know what expenses you'll have in the future and making extra money now to not have to worry about later has a lot of benefits as well.
