Everyone thinks its paradise. But it comes with a whole new set of challenges and responsibilities.
Money isn't important. I'm as happy with a dollar in my pocket as with a million.

When I read your post it reminded me of my mom when she was alive. A lot of times she used to tell me how hard things are when you have a lot of money. I would sit and listen while looking at her finely manicured nails tapping on the counter making her 7 carot diamond ring glitter. Oh, the hardship of it all, worrying if the maid was working hard enough for what she was being paid...how much income tax she would have to pay unless she came up with some good deductions...the stress of deciding which fur coat she would get the most wear out of ....wait...buy both and it won't matter, she had 7 already......and i would think to myself...damn...her life is rough...all I'm doing is sitting here trying to pretend I'm paying attention while I'm really trying to figure out if there are any coats I might have left change in at home so I could get together enough money for my daughters "Hot Dog Day" at school.
She has passed on now, and things are better for us but the one thing she taught me was not that money wasn't important, she taught me that it was...the difference is...I appreciate it...she never did.
