| schestowitz | I never said "money doesn't matter much", so this is a strawman argument. I just said that, untimately, it's happiness that matters. Money may help get there (it's the means, not the end). | Feb 18 15:14 |

| schestowitz | Back when I was in my 20s I hardly kept in touch with my parent more than -- say -- twice (or even once) per week. That was sad to my parents, but I was very eager to stay an overachiever, so I didn't indulge in long conversations. A lot of this changed in recent years when I realise I haven't an eternity to live a life where my parents are approachable (my mom, a sole child, suffered a lot when her parents died, which also damaged | Feb 18 15:14 |
| schestowitz | her marriage). | Feb 18 15:14 |
| schestowitz | People have the capacity to work even after their retirement. They cannot, however, succeed as athletes (to give one example) past a certain age. So we must compartmentalise not just our days' activities but also out lifetime. | Feb 18 15:15 |
