My boomer uncle saved $1.2 million for retirement.
- drove a 2003 Honda until it felt apart
- packed his lunch everyday for 33 years
- had a whole list of things he was going to do
He died 2 weeks before retiring
According to Islam, no race is superior to another. Quran 49:13 says: "O humanity! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so you may know one another. Surely the most noble of you in Allah's sight is the most righteous."
In his Farewell Sermon, Prophet Muhammad stated: "All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black over a white, except by piety and good action."
Harsh reality.
A bad day is coming.
Unless you die - you will experience:
Your father's death. Or your wife. Or brother. Etc
The above are 100% certain to happen - sooner or later.
If that day isn't today. Smile.
Be happy.
You'll have plenty to cry about soon enough.
Money is not something you chase blindly...
It is something that follows you when you become rare in skill, disciplined in action, and valuable in the lives of others.
