#6Note that there is a difference between wanting to have more money and wanting to make more money.
The author seems to be lucky in being born with the latter trait, but most humans luckily don't.
If you're in the other group, feel free to simply ignore this advice. Make money to support yourself and your surroundings, but don't feel sad that you can't constantly do the things you love. It is just not how reality works.

It depends just how miserable it makes you, and the rest of the family's views. I wouldn't want my parent/spouse to be absolutely miserable just so I can have nicer things. Also a parent who is absolutely ground-down by their work might have psychological problems as a result which could negatively affect the child, or at minimum less time/energy to directly give to the family.

I, for one, love to think about having a lot of money that I can spend on fun things. I do, however, not love coming up with schemes all day to actually transfer that money from someone else's pocket to mine first.
