Alex Bean: 卖掉公司度假后，我开始感到空虚和缺乏满足感。我意识到人需要创造和挑战，而不仅仅是享受闲暇。我开始思考人生的意义，因为长期以来，我一直专注于赚钱以满足家庭的基本需求。一旦我实现了财务目标，我发现自己需要一个新的目标，那就是如何利用金钱来创造积极的影响，并让世界变得更美好。我希望通过我的经历，帮助更多的人思考如何利用财富来实现人生的价值，而不仅仅是追求更多的金钱。 Alex Bean: 我认为人们应该停止攀登“金钱山”，而是关注自己真正想要的生活。如果总是与他人比较，或者认为需要达到某个金额才能快乐，那么永远不会觉得足够。我建议大家明确自己真正想要实现的目标，并以此为基础来判断是否足够。不要与他人比较，要对已经拥有的东西心存感激。真正重要的是人际关系和个人感受，这些与金钱无关。金钱本身没有意义，重要的是如何利用金钱。如果认为更多的金钱会带来更多的快乐，那么这种优势是不可持续的。在追求成功的过程中，不要失去重要的人际关系。
