Today I was chatting with an older brother who has already reached A10. I said I was very envious that he is financially free. He said:

"F***ing hell, not at all happy."

I was stunned. Actually, he is a very gentle and elegant person. I don’t know how my words made him curse.

He said:

Actually, A8 is the happiest class.

A9 starts to be unhappy, and A10 is even less happy. Beyond that, he doesn’t know anyone, so his view is limited to this~~

Below A7 is also unhappy, and below A7, you have to struggle for survival.

The wealth logic above A9 is completely different from A8, so this logic inevitably results in one person in the family not being grounded. Whether their wealth is truly rich or just on paper, or whether it can be sustained, is more uncertain.

The ordinary people's family happiness, leisure, poetry, and painting are absent; animal instincts are higher than human nature~~~

Above A10, no one can escape the desire to pass on their genes.

The so-called ruthless imperial family style, only seen in books and TV dramas, becomes tangible. Children are no longer just children; they are selected heirs~~

He told me: he hopes his daughter will not marry a merchant woman in the future. Of course, people shouldn’t be labeled; it depends on the individual. He has also met Confucian businessmen, sincere and kind-hearted, but they are rare.

After he finished, I was thinking:

Is money more important, or happiness?
