You guys really should really reflect on all your beliefs and thoughts and everything.

You are basically working your asses off, worrying, suffering, etc, to make as much money as possible as fast as possible with the reason: early retirement, so that you don't have to worry about money anymore. You worry about making a lot of money, because if you had a lot of money you wouldn't have to worry about it. WHEEEEEEEE!

Money has no magic intrinsic value. Money does not make you happy. That should be taught in kindergarten.

That's just something poor people say. Kind of like "beauty is on the inside" is something ugly people say.

Money only makes you happy when you already have a life that you are happy with.

If you are miserable to begin with, then adding money will not make that much difference.

This can mean different things to different people. When I was in my mid-twenties I had more disposable income than I do at this moment.

However I am happier now than I have ever been even though I basically live paycheck to paycheck. Also when you are already happy with your life "working for the man", does not really get you down.

IMO, many of you guys in your mid-tenties have a skewed idea of what it is like to work for living. If you are competent at what you do, it is really not a drag. Although maybe, as I said before that is because I am already happy.
