"Those who make money with money deliberately keep it scarce. Money is not wealth. Wealth is the accomplished technological ability to protect, nurture, support, and accommodate all growful needs of life. Money is only an expediency-adopted means of interexchanging disparately sized, none- quatable items of real wealth." - Buckminster Fuller, The Critical Path

YouTube only offers partnerships for people with 10M shorts views. Even if I had the ability to draw that many eyes, I wouldn't want to dumb myself down enough to meet that goal. π

Everything beyond basic needs being met is a luxury, but one cannot live without peace...It has been my experience that one can be both "poor" and happy if they remain grateful for everything and loving towards everyone.

Thanks for the perspective. Yes, peace is necessary. I won't even lie; some degree of material gain is useful; but, the amount we are willing to give away for liquidity is oftentimes too much. The amount of work the average person needs to do to be materially wealthy is not comfortable
