Although I don’t quite believe in the saying “Money can’t buy happiness” I think money certainly does have its place in determining what type of happiness it brings you.

The wealthy business people in Silicon Valley have one major thing in common - driven personalities that allow them to continue working as hard as they do despite not “needing” the money! The rest of us “slackers” call it OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder! I say it tongue-in-cheek but really they’re overachievers because they can’t help themselves and it’s what makes them them!

Someone once told me “A person who has problems with money will always have problems with money.” And over the years and people I’ve met, it’s pretty true. No matter how much someone makes, it’ll never be enough for some people because they will find ways to squander it or create some standard that they need to surpass (like nearby perceived competition).

OK.
Now, when all things involving money are solved it is time for someone to solve the inner self.
2-3 millions per year are not bad. Perhaps someone cannot live as he would like with this income, for example, in Japan.
Yet, in Greece and other Med countries 2-3 millions are a very well income to go by.

Considering his surroundings, with people bringing in $5-10 milliom more than he does, this fact makes him feel average. I’m glad he does because with that he doesn’t feel or act rich, he owns an average house and cars and his children value their father’s hard work and commitment. That type of modesty is such a healthy trait when it comes to wealth.
