Insight is the beginning, and this Haiku makes a strong statement about self-reflection during transitions, as well as seeing the value of our currency change from one stage in life to another.   What was worth everything suddenly is worth nothing, and what meant nothing suddenly is to die for.  You have a way of softly understating powerful feelings that is very interesting.
