Angela Johnson interviews exmillionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people, becoming a millionaire① is a symbol of success and they set this as their ultimate goal. They spend half of their time dreaming up② ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect, and the rest of their time thinking about③ all the things they will do once they become rich.(1) But do all millionaires get the sense of success they were looking for after they achieve their goals? Some continue to worry about④ money when they become millionaires — they worked hard to become wealthy, but then they need to continue making money so they don't lose the sense of success they have achieved. However, there are people who have turned their backs on⑤ their millions and found other forms of success in their lives. Jason Harley is one example.
