To young people: the truth is somewhere in the middle. Don't spend your youth chasing money, but don't ignore money either, because while money doesn't buy happiness, it could make a lot of miserable things much less miserable.

Also, in a typical old-boomer-says-do-as-what-I-say-not-as-what-I-do fashion... do exercise regularly. One day you will wake up and find out your right arm will not go up higher than Heil Hitler position. And it takes a year to get it back to somewhat normal.
