> I know the money is so alluring, but how much is your soul worth and will that money make you happy?

I really don't understand this attitude. If someone offers me enough money so that I never have to work again, you expect me not to take it?

I'll sell any company if I could get $4 million after tax and never have to work again. Every single time I'll take that offer. I guess that's how much my "soul" is worth. And yes, that will make me happy!

Yeah, the only way I'm not selling my business in that scenario is if I'm already in a position where I don't have to work again.

To me it seems really preposterous and dishonest when somebody does NOT think like this.

We have one life. The time we do not spend with our children (or the time we postpone having them "for the greater good") can never be returned back.
