Money Can’t Buy Friends and Family

When people are on their death beds, they typically don’t ask to see the things they own one last time. When they know their time is short, the stuff they’ve accumulated over the years no longer matters. Their achievements are no longer important, either. No one ever asks to look at their college diploma one last time.

When people know they are dying and they only have a little time left, they want to be around those they love – their friends and family. It’s people that really matter – not stuff. And friends and family can’t be bought.

Instead of accumulating more money and stuff, true happiness comes from nurturing relationships and making new friends. Someone who truly loves you won’t care about your net worth. That person will value you for who you are.
