Yeah but still… there’s something really nice and basic about getting to know the primary sources. You can find a lot of secondary literature / handbooks / online courses / … but it just can’t compare to the original (albeit in translation).

Well I know someone who regularly fantasizes about winning the lottery and the world of possibilities that would open up for them.
I’m sure more money could help with a lot of the stuff that life throws at you. But honestly, when I think about the things that I really want or would like to do… then it’s rarely about money. For example, you want to become a photographer. It’s not being unable to buy the priciest camera on the market that’s holding you back. I even doubt if it’s easier if you have the money to do just that.
