They talk of the utility function of money where, as the accumulation (of money) increases, one's satisfaction decreases.
This certainly has been my experience, as I know I'm earning daily interest from savings, an amount which just decades ago would have meant a great deal to my "starving" college self, and it means so very little to me now that it doesn't even register.
Similarly, the world doesn't seem that dangerous either, I guess just from hanging around and having seen things in that time.
The fear doesn't faze me anymore, because I'm beginning to sense its limits and recognizing that boundary.
I know I can deal with it, and if I can't, I know what the worst could be. The first step to having a rich life, seems to me, is taking back the control of my own time. And then, filling that time. If I can look at myself in the mirror after that, then I will know that it was a job well done.
I wold have to agree with the OP's posting.![:sharebeer]( "celebrate")
