Focus on being happy. Pursuit of money is a dead end street. You can't take it with you. ANY of it. Not the cars, the money, the stuff..... it's all just a bunch of anxiety at the end of the day.

A surfer once put it to me like this:

"You take a homeless dude off the street and a rich billionaire guy, and put them both out in the surf in the ocean..... all that money goes away. The universe doesn't give a fuck how much money you have. Neither do the sharks."

Very cool quote and I agree with the philosophy. I spent my twenties working 16 hour days, every day of the week. I made lots of money but I totally regret how I spent my time.
