Fuck you, Money
I have to say, I nearly threw this article across the proverbial room after reading the second paragraph:<p>> Before that point, you’re just adding frosting on the lifestyle cake of your wage-slave existence. Beyond that point, you can forget  about aspirational consumer buying of 48-inch flat-panel TVs. You suddenly confront the most existential questions in human life: what do I do with my life? What’s a good life? No one’s forcing me to do anything, so what do I do now?<p>I'm sorry, but that's just offensive.  The fact that you can't imagine a "wage-slave" contemplating these questions is probably closely linked to why you can't imagine a successful startup founder getting off the treadmill either.  If you were willing to take your $4.2M or whatever and be happy, you'd also be able to understand that you can live a good life without that kind of money too.  (Free hint: it's not the 48-inch TV that makes your life fulfilling.)
