Invest in yourself

Take a vacation, bring your family to the park, enjoy life.

Accumulating money can take a long time. As one author had put it, it’s like gaining weight; it takes years of eating and lounging around on the lazy chair to become fat.

In the case of building up wealth, it can even take beyond your lifetime. So don’t take it so seriously that you forget you owe yourself and your family a break besides money. While it is good to strive for financial security, we should also remember not to overextend ourselves in pursuit of more money, because doing so will merely make us slaves, instead of masters, of our own designs.

Many years ago, novelist Joseph Conrad aptly defined the lust for comfort as “that stealthy thing that enters the house as a guest and then becomes a host and then a master.”
