Why It's So Hard to Save Money
In her book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, Australian nurse Bronnie Ware drew on her years of working in palliative care to synthesize the common themes about life's biggest regrets.
Number two on the list was "I wish I hadn't worked so hard." According to Ware, that feeling came from every male patient she nursed. They felt sorry for missing out on seeing their children grow up and spending quality time with their partner. Ware said, "All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence," and came to a conclusion: "By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do."
