I found this article very refreshing and I hope those who put money before living will think hard about the meaning of life.
In particular I found this statement very true, "Many people who have postponed happiness in the belief that it is something that will happen in the future when they get a promotion, retire, when their children have finished college or when they get married find their happiness levels do not change much when their circumstances change.
This is because happiness has little to do with momentary joy or pleasure rather it is a general sense of well-being and satisfaction that is linked to fulfilling ones potential. It is not about living long, but about getting the most out of life before you die".
