i think it's more of knowing that someone has your back .. and they want to make you happy. and you in turn want to make them happy and you have their back.
there is something so powerful about that.
it's not about providing financially. it's about having someone to share your joy with.
i'm fighting $ with $. it's become a competition. who will build the bigger and better bentley? i want to hurt him in ways that he understands and that's in material things.
you want a bentley? i'll get an aston martin. if you use material goods as a metric of happiness or success .. there will alway be someone with more. and thus, you will never be happy or successful.
at the end of the day, only a human being can give you that warm hug when you've had a rough day. an expensive car won't.
