I'm a little surprised that —since every other thread on HN is about hacking your diet/wardrobe/matress to counteract the crushing depression you get from your job— nobody is putting one and one together.
There is more to life than money.
I don't want to sound too hippy but there is. There is value in relaxing with friends and taking time out to raise your family, and living with clean air outside a big, machine-like-city.
The struggle to become rich is an immense burden with its own serious costs. You might make it, but I'd suggest you ignore "aspirational" money posts on HN and learn to be happy with what you have. Just strive to be good at what you do. It's not the American Dream™ but you'll get a hell of a lot more from life.
