What a vapid article.
The notion that pursuit of money is the way to spend one’s later years is sad.
On the other hand, if people don’t have children and grandchildren about whom they care work might be a good place for them.
Don’t love something that can’t love you back.

“Don’t love something that can’t love you back.”

Sage advice. Just printed. Going on the fridge.

He never said it was about pursuing money. Staying in your job can provide purpose and challenge not found elsewhere. Think Aramani and Buffet are in it for the money?

On the other hand, if people don’t have children and grandchildren about whom they care work might be a good place for them.

Grandchildren are the reward for having children. Older men that missed out, victims of western female masculinism, have the option of retiring to the Philippines and making their own grandchildren.

I don't pursue money.

I pursue the sense of accomplishment.

[hinckley buzzard]

The point of the article is that the pursuit of money by itself may be necessary for some to survive economically but by itself doesn’t provide meaning. Work and other constructive activities are meaningful. Relationships provide meaning, spiritual growth and finding ways to be active in the service of others provide meaning. Golf, cruises and afternoon drinking mostly do not.
