Not caring enough about money?
Hey all, In high school, I was into making money (day trading, startups). By senior year, I realized I could instead chase impact -- so I didn’t think about money for 1.5 years. I feel anger when I hear people saying their reason to do things was because of money. Yet, I feel fear knowing that one day it will make all the difference. My parents are immigrants who run liquor stores. My dad unfortunately is addicted to his own product; despite what it looks like to others, money is still an issue. Looking back (19m), I realize I have an unhealthy relationship with money. What am I not understanding? Thanks! 1 comments on Hacker News.
