7 reasons Why Saving Money Makes You Poor: Reason #7
Would you rather live in a tent on the beach with the person you love most in this world, or live alone in a huge mansion?
It’s possible to save all the money in the world, and still be poor. Consider how many millionaires go through their entire lives worried that they will lose their money, or that somebody will steal it. They become consumed with worry, and never enjoy their money.
Reason #7: The Quality of Life Is Determined by Value, not Price.
Many people are consumed with making money and spend decades or their whole life focusing on it. But money is not really a measure of the quality of our life. It’s part of it, but a fairly small part.
What is the purpose of having a lot of money if it does not create an outstanding quality of life? If we want to have a wonderful, fulfilling life, then we only need enough money to have the kind of life that we dream of.
Nothing of value can be bought with money. We cannot buy the love of the person that we love most. We cannot buy children to bring tears of joy to us. We cannot buy kindness from a stranger. We cannot buy fulfillment or happiness.

Keep up the great work
