Why Chasing Money Is a DANGEROUS Game

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today’s episode is a classic segment from GaryVeeTV! Of course, you need money. It is a fundamental part of surviving and living a healthy life. The real question is about how much money do you need before you are doing it for the wrong reasons. There are many people who make enough money to live comfortably but still chase it so they can "show off" and stick it to other people in their lives. Chasing money at that point becomes a dangerous game where you start to sacrifice your happiness to try and make other people feel worse about themselves. It's not about how much you make but really about how much you spend that causes so many people to fall into the trap of chasing money to a point where it impacts their happiness.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
