I’ve been listening to Bill Perkins, the author of Die with Zero, and he makes an interesting point — if we only get around 4,000 weeks in a lifetime, the goal shouldn’t be just to chase wealth, health, or even longevity. Instead, we should be aiming to maximise overall fulfilment. That means different things to different people, of course, but for most of us, it’s a mix of enjoyment, satisfaction, and a sense of purpose — however we each define those.
What is worth noting and adding to this topic is :
1. While taxes are high, how many economies across the globe pump taxes back into the economy I.e. investment in public services. The refurbishment of Kingston Cromwell Road bus station at a cost of £17m went £9.7m over budget but how many local economies would invest. It is worth researching the ratio of investment to taxes by economy.
2. On the outdated infrastructure, it’s a question of where does any investment rank in the laundry list of government’s priorities. I think there is talk of having high speed BB across UK by 2027.
There are points which I would add but there are other priorities that need attending 😀
Interesting topic to discuss which would evolve viewpoints
