I have a cousin that is visiting as he normally lives in Hong Kong. He runs a business over there and he was telling me how people in general always have this working mentality where it is all about numbers and making the big dollars. In that sense, it is not too hard to see why people there are a bit more of a workaholic.
That just made me think of it as an extreme example of trying to fit in with a particular lifestyle and therefore you end up working for that as opposed to mainly for living. And this isn’t exactly say a poverty area too since the area has a growing economy with ample resources.
If you are in a situation where money is on your mind every minute of your day, wouldn’t it be better to re-evaluate your current means in life instead? A working class trying to live like a millionaire is going to worry about money all the time. Likewise, a millionaire trying to live like a billionaire will too.
That’s one of the true ways to really become financially successful in the long term I’d say so that money doesn’t end up controlling you.
