Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I understand where you're coming from as I've been through the same experience. Only those who have been there understand. I must say you're a very successful person as you understand life. Most importantly you're happy. Anyway owning a luxury condo and a car with no debt is a big deal here. Congratulations!

Life is not all about yourself and your family. Life is not about being greedy and accumulating wealth until your death bed. There is no end to accumulating wealth. You will always want more and more. But do you really need more and more?

If you understand the true meaning of your life, then you will be truly happy.

I am on my journey towards true happiness. Material wealth no longer makes me happy. Ever since I retired in my mid 50s, I now truly understand life and its purpose. You don't need so much to live. I'm happy to live in a simple three bedroom condo and drive a simple car. I am debt free and earn passive income which is sufficient for my family. I'm now just a simple, humble man.
