The trap of the century: • They sell you on the idea that “living life to the fullest” means spending 3 months’ salary on a trip to Bali. • But nobody tells you the best experience is not having to ask for time off to live your life.

Funny how many people claim their biggest problem is money, but still can’t be bothered to open a book and try to solve it.
