The knowledge that you will die alone in a nursing home with some underpaid immigrant beating you daily for shitting yourself and with nobody to care you ever existed after you die is beautiful.

I spent a lot of time in nursing homes as a kid because I grew up poor and my mum had to take me to her work before and after school since we couldn't afford childcare. The people who were always happiest to see me were those who never had children of their own and they would always tell me their biggest regret was that they didn't have children of their own. Not a single person I met who was childless thought it was the right decision at the end of their life. Some of these people were quite wealthy when they were working but they were always unhappy compared to those who's children and grandchildren would see them regularly. They were extremely bored and basically waiting for death, those with children would be preoccupied with passing on life lessons to their grandchildren or excitedly waiting their next visit or outing. They always were upset that even though they lived full lives, they left nothing behind, nobody would care when they died, nobody would tend to their graves, nobody would care to learn from their lives or be inspired by them. They will have essentially never have existed.

Money cannot buy you happiness no matter how you want to convince yourself otherwise. Don't think your smarter than those who made the same decisions before you.
