Life, death and the quiet math of meaningThis piece comes from a realization I never wanted to earn. Just the natural drift that happens when people grow, build their own worlds and assume there will always be more time. We focus on what they didn’t do, didn’t say, didn’t give.

After a certain level of financial comfort, additional money contributes little to sustained life satisfaction.
