About This Quote
Young people nowadays think that money is everything. Yes, murmured Lord Henry, settling his button-hole in his coat; and when they grow older they know it too. The idea of financial success is so engrained in our minds that we can’t imagine a life without it. We all want to be wealthy, because wealth gives us the opportunity to do what we want.
It gives us the freedom to choose what we think is best for ourselves and our family. Young people today feel the need to right away start our own business or make a lot of money from day one in order to achieve financial success. But they would not be happy if they didn’t have money, but would they be happy when they reached their goal? Would they really feel the same way about the life that they had before?
