An assumption on my part when you mentioned that money is everything and without it you will be sad. I equted that to being rich. My bad! Grateful is an excellent term. You don't need money to be grateful for what you have. So what makes you happy besides posting on ET.
That should be enough. And modern society provides easy access to everything we need to be happy. But humans appear to be greedy and want more and more. I think greed comes down to status, specifically the left over status circuitry in our brains from a time when things were very scarce. Our brains are constantly evaluating our status in society. Obviously some people are more subject to this and others, but it pretty much effects everyone to some extent. The positive intention of this part was to get us to work harder so we didn't go hungry and also make us attractive to the best mate for reproduction. That part is still there, but food isn't a big problem anymore for most of us, so that part instead nags us to get that bigger car and bigger house, or whatever thing is considered higher status.
Money is important but it is not everything. Having it doesn’t give you any assurity to success. Skills are equally important and they both go parallel; you can’t succeed without any of the two.
I wonder why people play the lottery. I wonder why the rich don’t like to pay taxes. He who haseth the monies need not dwell with an ugly bitch. - Proverb 7:12:somethingsomething
%% LIKE health, wealth , wisdom. Sure wealth can include federal reserve notes, sure not limited to that or even gold silver cash, Canadian quarters or checks........ Me i would rather not have cancer, regardless: and all of America is rich compared to most of the world.
there’s a guy on here who said he started day trading because it helps with his epilepsy. I can’t find the post but it’s really fascinating. He only trades 1 lots of the ES but focusing on the ticks has helped his brain.
In the post he said he typically makes or loses a few ticks. It was really interesting. I'm going to see if i can find it.
