For me, what money mostly buys is more security (knowing I don't have to worry if something "bad" happens) and the ability to be left alone.
For the most part, I'd want to focus the rest of my efforts on teaching people how to make their lives better... not "handouts" but teaching the skills that make handouts unnecessary.
Like taking on 'interns'/journeyman that work for you, but benefit by the direct interaction and tutalage. That would be cool. I wish the whole mentorship thing was done more these days... in truth it would negate the need for many college degrees and thus keep those 'kids' out of heavy student loan debts.
I think we've gone overboard on "cookie cutter education," and value that all-important college degree far about someone who has an actual skill and trade to offer. Which I think would serve them much better, in the long term.
Right. I think that is what I was saying! Thank you
That is such a good way of putting it and I completely agree with you on that front. I also think your idea of teaching people to better care for themselves is great. Handouts don't work and will postpone some problems. Knowledge is much better :-)
