Back in the summer of 2015, I sold a website to study.com for $215,000. Adjusted for inflation, that would be well over $300,000 today. It sounds like a fortune—and to me at the time, it really was.
Looking back, though, I wasn't any happier then than I am today with a much smaller bank balance. I didn't invest that money wisely at all back then. Instead, I launched a vehicle transport business. Even though that company failed quickly, it ended up being a crucial life lesson. In that short window, I learned an immense amount about myself, my core values, and the reality of patriarchal hierarchies.
My point is simple: The amount of money in your bank account has very little to do with your actual happiness or well-being.
