3 Things That Won’t Make You Happy
We have been told that money doesn’t buy happiness since time immemorial. And yet, we still pursue wealth with longing and determination; sacrificing sleep, health, relationships and time. Behavioural finance research has shown that even when a salary goal or net worth goal is attained, we simply shift to more lofty objectives. Since there is always more money to be earned, there simply isn’t a discernible “finish line” at which point we can be happy. That’s why UPotential and Quintessence Wealth has initiated a new process aimed at helping clients to identify the values in life that actually translate into contentment. Your values then influence the portfolio design so that the necessary growth and income can be achieved. If you are focusing on the money, rather than the purpose, you are doing it wrong in my opinion.
