I respectfully disagree. This meaningful existence might be true in a persons younger workforce years, but having financial security becomes a serious concern as you close in on your end of working years. Meaningful existence doesn’t pay the bills when you or family members become ill; so financial dependance has to have some level of importance in your life. I suppose if you feel there will be no hope for receiving a fair income for the services you provide to society, then a meaningful existence provides you a peace of mind. In reading this book as well as what was covered in the course materials it makes it pretty clear to me that our American capitalism system is really backwards. The folks who should be making a very comfortable living don’t get compensated a hill of beans for their efforts. These are the people who are risking their very lives to keep the wheel of life
