In fact, the most enjoyable phase of making money is the first stage, the so-called "poverty alleviation" stage. You realize that there are so many things money can accomplish; it liberates you, it gives you freedom, and it allows you to stand out quickly among your peers.

However, as you move to the next stage, you will find that the marginal utility of money is actually very poor. You can't quite say whether the joy of driving a Cullinan is greater than the joy of driving your first Mercedes.

Then, for most people, the final stage they can reach is accepting that no matter how hard you work, you are still just an ordinary person, and your heart begins to align. This is, in my opinion, the endpoint of relative freedom in wealth. You return to your original self, becoming more and more humble and treating others with increasing politeness.

You begin to master wealth, rather than letting wealth master you. This echoes Jack Ma's statement, which still sounds pretentious today: "I have no interest in money." Because this number truly has no meaning; what matters is what this number can help you achieve, what significant life accomplishments it can allow you to complete.

When you have fully completed a game, having more in-game currency is less meaningful than unlocking more achievements. This should be easy to understand.

If you want to reach a higher stage in life, it requires "transcendence," not just hard work, but a great opportunity. This is beyond my understanding; being a prosperous ordinary citizen in a peaceful era is already quite good for us.
