<p>I wanted to write more but that post was getting too long so i started another one.
In this i am writing what i think will work for me.
I think money gives us power, power to choose. If you have enough money(how much is enough is an altogether different topic) you can choose. You can choose between your career options, you can experiment because you know if something goes wrong you still have nothing to worry about. You love photography you can become a photographer, you love cooking you can become a chef, you love social service you can become a social worker. Erect a few orphanages, build new homes, brighten their lives all with the same passion as you would have done without money, also i think you would be happier because along with love you actually gave them something that would brighten their lives. So my opinion is earn some money then do what you want to do.
If not for yourself think for your children, they have a right to choose their own future and they should not have to say anytime in their lives, if only my father had a little more resources i could have been better off. My parents have done everything in their power to provide for me adequately. They could have gone of doing what they were really passionate about and leaving me to fend off for myself. So i only feel the need to return the favour by doing the same.
Of course i wont mind a Lamborghini or two myself or a private yacht, so my advise earn for say 20 years and for the next 30 or so years enjoy your passions.</p>
