Very good post and the thoughts it puts into your head. The value of this life is much more than the money you can generate although it is challenging getting beyond valuing yourself by the money you make. The problem is that it makes life so one dimensional. We must all be conscious of the many other things that have so much more value, like family, friends, love and caring for others. These things are what truly allow us to find happiness in this always challenging life. As we make our way through, we also need to keep in mind how much we need each other or we risk being truly alone no matter how many material things we have.
