Is the Life You’re Living Actually The Life You Want to Be Living?

A friend of mine was a financially and materialistically successful finance guy.

He worked for a top 5 investment firm and did very, very well.

It’s where he met his wife, and she also did very, very well.

Combined, they earned well over 7 figures, and their lifestyle was commensurate with their salaries.

10,000-foot brownstone in Manhattan, kids going to the best boarding schools money could buy, multiple nannies, and a staff to run the brownstone.

Theirs was a life of acquisition, status, and prestige.

It was a life of what one “should” do and is “supposed” to do when one earns that much money.

They were planning on climbing the next rung of the acquisition ladder and were looking at multi-million dollar “country” homes.

Their search led them to Vermont, and this search changed their life.

The more time they spent in Vermont, the more they realized something unique to them.

When people asked other people what they did, the replies were,

“I ski.”

“I hike.”

“I fly fish.”
