Money doesn’t make us happy, it just makes our lives a little bit easier. In an interview with the Daily Mail, 50 Cent spoke about how his previous idea of financial success was kind of a waste.

“I used to think that if I bought stuff that showed the world how much money I made I’d be happy. But that doesn’t work,” he said. “For me, success was always going to be a Lamborghini. But now I’ve got it, it just sits on my drive. My Rolls-Royce has less than nine miles on the clock.” Basically, you’re better off investing your money in something that will grow your financial worth or help you reach a future goal than in something materialistic.
