A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". (www.bloomberg.com)

Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!

The same could be said of someone who earns a low income relative to a billionaire (e.g. $80-120k) depending on the country they reside in. Money doesn't buy happiness folks, life experiences do 🙂
