but the rise from zero has its charm.
Oh, you are right about that... Earning money with your own hands (or brain) is always much more valuable than winning a lottery... That's why I'm always more for showing people the way how they can grow than to give them tips and direct money as a "gift"...
You appreciate more the person who helps you with advice, or in need, and you appreciate more the earned money, which usually means more responsible spending too! It's also motivational for future growth...
When you have a small kid, you want to give him a Universe! As it grows, it makes you think... Was that a good way to raise a child? Maybe we shouldn't give them everything and leave something to them, to discover, to earn themselves, as they will appreciate it more...
Darn... Sorry for rambling... lol...
Happy New Year! All the best!
I hope we will have a drink somewhere in 2025! 🍷🍻
