I’ve read your post because I was looking for entrepreneurial ideas to fix things that cannot be fixed by throwing money at them.

While reading, however, I found that I disagree with a number of things you say:

- money vs health: Money can buy you a subscription to the gym, to the pool, yoga class; money can buy you the mass transportation/taxi tickets to those destinations, unless you live in a 4+ star hotel (which by the way, money CAN buy) where the gym is on floor number “-2″ and all you have to do is throw on your shorts and hit the “preventitive” maintenance activity.

Money CAN buy you food supplements, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, healthy stuff (did you notice that the level of health in food increases it’s price, unless we are talking about eating bugs, which is not standard practice in North America / Europe yet)

Money CAN buy you a health coach.

- money vs time: While I agree that money can’t turn back time, it CAN certainly save you a lot of time.

Money CAN save you the time you spend shopping, cooking, cleaning, driving etc.

A lot of money CAN allow you to not ever have to work again in your life and focus on the things that are important to you.

- money vs talent: I believe talent is nothing without talent management. If you look at the sheer number of child prodigies who, by the time they’re 18 seem to return to average because of the standardized treatment minors are subject to, you will find: it’s a lot.

Money CAN buy special training, elite classes, the right kind of stimulation children need to reach their potential faster, better VS NOT AT ALL.

…sorry. While growing up, money was scarce in our family, and the only thing, I found, it couldn’t buy me was overcompensation for all the things missing from my life. I pushed harder, got further, became better than my peers whose families were better off, but didn’t know how to allocate their resources well, or their kids simply weren’t a priority.

Best,
NT

Money can’t make people treat one another well.
