The Pursuit Of Lasting Wealth

Matt’s Musings

We hope you enjoy this collection of ‘Matt’s Musings’ inspired in part by his occasional walks with ‘Nala’ (his loyal Ridgeback) around the family farm. At Method to My Money, we don’t pretend to have all the answers, or even most of them. But, we do believe in the passionate pursuit of something of true and lasting value… we believe there is an eternal wealth available to us all that, by contrast, all the money in the world seems worthless.

C.S. Lewis wrote ‘We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” As we see it, our struggle is not that we have too much ambition, it is that we have too little, and that our ambitions are often misguided. While we cannot find lasting happiness in the things we accumulate or purchase, it is attainable to us … and not nearly as distant as we might think.
