Don’t Put Too Much Importance on Money

What is one of the top categories of content we see on social media? How to make money, isn't it? A new method, a new trend, a new quick get-rich scheme. Another creator idolizing billionaires for the only reason that they have accumulated a lot of money.

The truth is that we do need money, obviously. It is a tool that’s necessary to buy the essential stuff that keeps us alive. It's not going to make us happy though, but we need it. It's an essential part to operate in the game of life. It is important, but we overemphasize it.

I grew up surrounded by a wealthy social circle in Mexico. And I can tell you for a fact that money didn’t make those people less worried, stressed, anxious, or insecure. It didn't make them happier overall. They were just able to buy more stuff, that's it. They suffered from the same things as everyone else.

We think that by having a lot of money and all the comforts of life, we are going to have everything we need to be happy, and that's not true. Why? Well, because unless you work on yourself, you’ll always keep wanting more.
