Money is like getting honey from wild bee hives: It gets you the best things, but also the bee stings along with them. It makes you wealthy but also welty.
As i keep saying, “True wealth is not measured by how much you have, but rather by how much you don’t need.”
There comes a point where you stop owning things and they start owning you. Or as the Eagles put it in Hotel California: “We are all just prisoners here of our own device.”
“I didn’t buy my first luxury watch or car until my businesses and investments were producing multiple secure flows of income. I was still driving a Toyota Camry when I had become a millionaire. Be known for your work ethic, not the trinkets that you buy.” — Grant Cardone
But a great resource is piety with contentment; for we brought nothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out; but when we have food to sustain us and coverings to protect us we shall be well enough off. But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many stupid and harmful desires which sink men into destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all things bad; hankering for it, some have strayed away from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains. – 1 Timothy 6:6-10

True. It involves the brain more than anything else. Namely, it takes a certain attitude and a bit of imagination and skill.

Very true but sometimes, a little cash can be fun : ) Thing is, money has nothing to do with class.

I think one is rich if you have family and love in your life. Think of the Waltons.

but, yup, we’ve managed to get by on very little and still have a good time…
