What is up everybody and welcome to another edition of AMA Live.

I'm your host Tom Bilyu and I'm here to answer all of your questions.

And today we are going to be talking about the truth of money and happiness.

So our first question is from Sarah Chi.

This came in via the Connect inbox and she said,

I quit my job to start my own business, something I've always wanted to do.

I'm earning less than I was earning in my corporate job,

but enough to cover my living expenses in a world where success is typically

measured by how much money you make rather than how happy and fulfilled you are.

How do you keep the face, faith, whilst still being objective in your journey?

All right.

So here is the reality about money.

So the reason that people chase it, even though I know you've heard a thousand

times and it is absolutely true.

Money can't buy happiness.

That if you're chasing money, the odds of you ending up with some level of dissatisfaction

is incredibly high.

But the reason that people ignore that and the reason that they keep chasing it,

the reason that I myself live the cliche of money can't buy happiness is because

money actually does have power.

Now, the thing that money lets you do, the thing that gives it that power,

the reason that people will chase forever and ever and ever is it is the great facilitator.
