People who do what they do because they enjoy it are fun to be with. I don't much enjoy the company of people for whom making money is the main priority in life. I spent far too long doing things I didn't enjoy because I felt I had to maximise my income. It was probably a mistake. How much better to be a happy Tom Reynolds than a bored and boring person, however much money they have. How many people, lying on their deathbeds, say, "I wish I'd made more money?" How many more say, "I wish I'd found a job I really enjoyed."
