I appreciate that question out of the context of the book actually because it's in the book, and I'm sure we'll talk about it, but there's a lot that money can't buy. That is a theme actually that Naval has talked about, Balaji has talked about, there's so many people nakedly chasing money because they think it's the solution to their problems and then sometimes they achieve it, sometimes they don't.
But even those who achieve it end up sitting there realizing 80% of their problems or hopes or dreams or desires money can't buy anyway. So it is really helpful I think early in life to separate, ask yourself that question, like truly what can money buy? How many things do I value that are outside that bubble and live your life broadly from an early age.
