> So that’s what you need to know about money, right? If that is your primary measure of success or value in life, then good luck with that, because it will never feel good.

This has the sound of a subject matter expert speaking with authority. And it makes me feel like my adult life so far has been a waste

Do you measure your self worth primarily on the amount of money in your bank account?

[jandrese]

Having no money in your bank account can definitely impact your feeling of self worth. It can make a lot of other people angry at you, like landlords, power companies, etc...

[50656E6973]

Agreed. I think the important thing is to recognize the diminishing returns of money on genuine human needs

Money is a pretty objective assessment what's a person's worth. It's an actual measurable quantity, it's meaning doesn't vary from person to person like it does other indicators of worth (i.e looks, personality, altruism etc.)

[kjeetgill]

I'm not sure anything about the question at hand, a person's worth, is objective. Money is easy enough to measure and compare though, and I think that's part of it's appeal as a measure. It's precise even if it's not accurate.
