Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for May 20, 2022

I would be happy if I had a 10% of that to spare.

$50 million? Not even enough to buy Twitter!

That works.

I would be more than happy to have one million to spare, I’m not greedy

I’d settle for 20.

Of course, for most of my younger life, even one million was what we all dreamed about. Well, now my net worth is well over 1M, and I can barely make ends meet, even though my mortgage is small. When it renews, I’ll be in negative cash flow.

$50 million. If I were that much in debt, I wouldn’t be happy. I have enough money in my bank account to get by.

True wealth isn’t measured by how much you have but by how much you don’t need.

There comes a point when you stop owning stuff and it starts owning you.

Dang right aunty

I’ll settle down for 49M

there’s no such thing as a “spare” 50 mil in the government’s eyes…

“You probably wouldn’t worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do.”" Sometimes attributed to Olin Niller, sometimes to Eleanor Roosevelt.

“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.” Charles Dickens in David Copperfield.

You’ll have to change your name Aunty! The leeches will be out on full force.

Those with 50 million – need 50 million more and cheat, lie and worry to get it. Money drives sane people foolish. Bible refers to it over 4000 times in some way. (material wealth) Love = happiness. Love not lust nor greed.

Then you’d be worrying about who wants to take your money.

Seems Elon Musk has figured this out as well.

I haven’t cared what others thought about me for most of my 72 years and I am REALLY far from being anywhere near having $50 million.

I’ve been making great progress on Part 1 of that plan.

Part 2 is still giving me a lot of problems.
