I grew up in an asian environment which highly prioritized education and income. I bought into the narrative that high income=happiness when growing up, and I still understand the need for a decent, steady income.
While I am grateful for what I have, after spending time in different parts of the US, especially the South, I struggle to understand the correlation between higher income and higher fulfillment. In the bay area, in particular, I see individuals prioritizing TC over family time, hobbies, and self growth time and time again. My question is what is the end goal in this seemingly endless TC chase? After material needs+desires are met, what is the purpose of sacrificing personal time for higher tc?
Personally, I don't take much joy in spending money and can fit all my needs + desires in about 25k/year which may contribute to this lack of understanding.
