Driving Myself Crazy Trying to Get Rich

I've been driving myself nuts lately think about money. Trying to make money that is. Isn't a smart person supposed to be rich? And shouldn't I be rich by now? Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool. – Seneca For the last decade, I've spent most of my free [...]

June 30, 2008 | 4 Comments
How do you think wealthy people spend their time? Do you think the rich play all day? You couldn't be more wrong. The wealthy work. According to Nobel winner Daniel Kahneman, the wealthy enjoy much less leisure time than other people. In fact, Kahneman says that wealth and work are strongly related. Shocking. I wonder [...]
