I remember maybe 20 years ago I was on top tax bracket and working long hours, it was depressing at a point in the week when I was getting taxed 61% of it,
yes 61%
now I work for myself, earn a lot less in comparison to them days but get a lot of cashies
So I don't need to earn as much to end up with same dollars
I live on a farm, have fairly simple taste and don't need a lot, would be nice to earn more and have up to date cars and the like, but green grass, animals to tend to, breed some nice puppies a couple of times a year, what else do you rally need.
Yes the GFC has made many change their thinking, plus you are dead a long time
