    I agree. I wouldn’t know what to do with 3 million.

    But I know that if I told my family that I was offered a job for 3 million, to do the same thing that I’m doing now for say 200k, and I declined, they would tell me I’m ridiculous and probably seize to support me, because I could’ve bought them anything they want and instead selfishly only cared about my own interests.

    Maybe that illustration is ridiculous, too, but all I’m trying to say is that it’s easy being an idealist when you’re not in that situation yourself.

      My family would disown me if I did not donate most of that 3 million salary. So I think we have very different morals in our families. A lot of human civilization’s problems would be solved if humanity did not horde wealth and resources for personal gain.
