I found this article from Sunday's New York Times interesting:
"We should just move to the country and live in a tent.”
I mention this idea to my wife every time I’m confronted with one of the realities of living in Park City, Utah. It seems like almost everyone here is an athlete of some sort, and they take their sports seriously. From mountain biking to skiing, I’m surrounded by super-competitive people....
And nowhere does envy raise its ugly head more often than with money. Earlier this year, a former hedge fund trader wrote an op-ed for The New York Times that opened with this line: “In my last year on Wall Street my bonus was $3.6 million — and I was angry because it wasn’t big enough.”
There is also a link to the op-ed by the hedge fund trader mentioned in the article. That op-ed is worth a read as well.
