There are some things I can enjoy without spending much money (walks in the park, lending books from the library), but there are certain things which afford to have money - going to exhibitions, having a nice meal with people I like to be with, going to a Yoga club and doing something for my health. It is not that much money for me; but I have a lot of friends, especially women, which live on very little money , and for them it would be difficult to do these things I just mentioned...

Interesting topic you brought up too! It's not money that is evil; it is the constant craving for it! It's when we lose all sense, kill, fight, backstab, etc in the name of money and therefore, not serving humanity.

Your last two points are so true!!! LOL! I had a $200k salary and I didn't hate it, but I also did not hate the work. If I hated the work and never saw my husband then I would have wanted out. But when it was over I did realize I was really tired. E, thank you, thank you thank you! Money is definitely the shiny thing in the road and while I am easily distracted by bright shiny objects, money kicks in my caution radar. :-) Nothing against it I just prefer to rule it rather than the other way around. Brad, what a great perspective from the customer perspective! We should all keep this in mind as we work to create value for our customers. Thanks Brad! Jamie, ah, the sunny day fund :-) I think over the years I have learned we don't need half as much as what we believe. I could care less about stuff or status but there are things that I do value and some take money. I think that's the key isn't it, knowing what is important and allowing that to guide our decisions. I'm glad you're happy and I look forward to reading all about it on your book jacket cover. :-) Rebecca, what a great point about the learning experience! This week I had the opposite where I had a project that should have come with combat pay! Eeessh! LOL!
