    It’s true, most people don’t care about money.

    They care about what money can help them buy, like another day of survival.

    It was never about the money. It was about maslovs heirarchy of needs; which, at the very bottom, is a foosball table.

      There’s two kinds of money: Enough money, and more than enough money.

      If you don’t have enough money, that’s all that matters. A nicer day at work means very little.

      Once you have enough money, more money matters very little. Now it’s about enjoying work etc.

        Ah but what is enough money for you or I is not enough money for the bigwigs. And since they’re obviously more important, as they’re at the top, we have to have sure they get enough money even if that means you don’t.

        But they’ll get you a ping pong table so you can stop thinking about how you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family tonight

        This is brilliant!

        Tangentially related, I heard another about enough money:

        When you already have enough money, do you really need 2x enough money?
