“money can only solve money problems right and so what what can money solve yes money can buy you back more time but uh it you it can't buy you into shape right... money can buy you marriage therapy but it can't necessarily save you from having married the wrong person um money can buy you great Healthcare... money will not buy you immortality”
Money can only solve money problems — name what it can't fix
Before you grind for the next zero on your bank account, write down what you're actually trying to solve. Money buys time, optionality, healthcare, leverage. It doesn't buy fitness, a working marriage, purpose, or immortality. If your real bottleneck is in the second list, more money won't move it — and you'll be confused why hitting the next financial milestone left you feeling the same.
