Yeah I was lucky to get to grow up, visit and live in other countries so I have a decent idea of what to expect, and I'd tend to agree with you. When you're old on your death bed you won't be thinking about how you made some great quarterly results for faceless shareholders or how rich your country was or whatever, but you'll sure as hell be wondering if you enjoyed life as much as you could and gave enough attention to your loved ones. Maybe places where material wealth isn't as important can help with that but who knows...
