If what you do for money isn’t aligned with who you are, money becomes oppression. You’re doing something you don’t want to do, and more money means more oppression. This is why second and third generation wealth often disappears—inherited money feels like a burden, not an expression.
“Money is like paint—it’s an art form that I get to use to make an expression of something that’s important to me in the world.”
When money is an expression of who you are, having more means more empowerment. Billionaires can feel completely oppressed by money—people want them for it, try to steal it, they can’t lose it. The relationship to money matters more than the amount.
