I'm learning as I get older, that money gives you choices and makes life a lot easier. Yeah the best things in life are for free, love, connection and all the rest of it, but money is energy also and the more we learn to use it to our advantage and be grateful, the more we allow in to give us those choices to experience those moments with the people we love

💛💛💛 …and I so agree with Hamish there….

Brilliant episode 👏Hamish appears to be a great guy who is so relateable...apart from being mega rich

[blorp.]

Nice way for Branson to avoid the original question. Also rich people don't stay rich by giving their money away.

100%. That goes to show the sort of human Hamish is too. Money really isn’t everything. Living life is.

From someone who has grown up poor, money does change lives. People treat you differently, you have far less opportunities and even at 22 youth does not keep a roof over your head.

I love Hamish. But I'm so over hearing millionaires say money doesn't buy happiness.

Can miserable rich people stop telling other people that money is not important? Thank you.
Ps - thanks for the tip, i'll be paying CBA this months mortgage in 'experiences' rather than cash. Surely they would have no problem with it...
