Hello Grace, Warning, this post is good clean fun:0)
<<One of the killers of economic growth is hoarding>>
... I appreciate your altruistic stance, bravely shopping, spending, working, not saving, always investing, and shopping some more, keeping the world's problems on your shoulders, while goldbugs, platinum worms and silver-backed monkeys hoard, selfishly, just so that they can survive another miserable day, outside of paradise, even if only to shop at another time.
<<Success is always built upon previous failed experiences, that and luck. Those two ingredients constitute evolution>>
... with your Evolution = Failure + Luck
... and given that Preparation + Luck = Opportunity, (Luck = Opportunity - Preparation),
... it then follows Evolution = Failure + Luck - Preparation
... or, put another way, Failure = Evolution - Luck + Preparation
... we are now on the cusp of discovering the secret formulae of Success, the opposite of Failure.
<<Paradise exists, but it's not a specific place and it can't be bought with money, in fact money takes you further away>>
You are going down a dangerous line of reasoning, eventually leading J6P to retirement hell, freed of money, far away from all the really nice places of this planet.
I would agree that money cannot buy happiness, but I do add that money can buy an asymptotically close approximation thereof.
