Sadly, a lot of us have placed money above everything else. It is not our fault but because money is a necessity and we all need to have that money whether we like it or not. Imagine someone like me spending about 13hrs in a day just to work alone and not even for myself.
So many people have lost their families to work. Also, I feel bad for the story of your mum. I hope things get better and we all try to strike a balance between work and family
Money is truly needed but not priority
