Most of the biggest mind and perspective altering events I have experienced have had nothing to do with money or free time.

Going through such events as partner's cancer treatment, triumphs such as full remission, and the death of a loved one have had more impact on my values and perspective of time then would ever happen with bank accounts bursting at the seams.

Growing older, with continued exposure over time to new ideas and perspectives from people from all walks of life from over the world has also had a big effect.

These experiences are not bought with money.
