Re: [RC] Temptations - Dabney Finch

Scott, it's really about 'what price would you pay" to be that wealthy becomes less in terms of time & priorities as one becomes wiser (notice that's not necessarily =older).

The post was talking about "what becomes most important to you" (like in terms of where do you put most of your energy and time), not "what would be ultimate if you could have everything you ever wished for." Anyway, that's the way I took it.

Wow! That says it all!! (Profound!)


I'm sorry. LOL I don't see that as profound - I see it as bullcrap. What would be better, having fun with those you love and just enough money to keep riding, or having fun with those you love and a million bucks? The money isn't the big deal in my scenario, but rather what you can do with it. I'd love a better, nicer, cleaner, larger barn and pastures for my horses. I bigger educational fund for my kids. A nicer trailer and no job stress - being free to travel the country and ride every famous trail I've ever read about. I'd love to have enough to throw some dough at a friend when they are in need. Many are afraid to wish for more - saying they just need "enough." Consequently, that is all they will ever have. But at least they can pretend to be "profound."
