Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/the-goldilocks-zone-of-personal-finance/ Quotes to ponder: "For a subordinate animal, life is filled with a disproportionate share not only of physical stressors but psychological stressors as well - lack of control, predictability, and outlets for frustration." "Becoming rich does not guarantee happiness. It is almost certain to impose the opposite condition - if not from the stresses and strains of protecting wealth, then from the guilt that inevitably accompanies its arrival."
