The thing about money

The story we tell inform us so much of our daily decisions. And that default setting we have affects us at levels we can’t even comprehend.

For example, someone with a lot of money can still cheat on their taxes, and someone who is insufficient can become desperate. Both lead to outcomes we could never imagine ourselves doing when money is removed from the equation because that is the real power of money. It changes the story.

The bottom line is this piece of paper or a digital number on our screen feels way more like a happiness index than a currency.

Who controls who?
