[RC] On having money...... or not - Kristene Smuts

Was channel hopping last night and caught a woman commenting on the
"Trust Fund Babies" in the USA, on Channel E! ...... "If you have a lot
of money, it will only make you more of what you are - if you are
miserable to start with, more money will only make you more miserable." 
THAT is profound in light of the discussions going on.

Somebody also mentioned that the money they have they pour into their
horses ............ I got back into horses about 10 years ago and
shortly after that into endurance.  It was a conscious decision I made
after I looked at myself one day and saw an overweight money squanderer.
Oh sure, I had beautiful things in my home and clothes to wear, bought
because I had too much money burning in my pocket.  Then one day I
realised that all that "stuff" will be dust one day and I will have no
memories, no aches and pains that I can name the place and time when
they happened, no tears for the loss of a good friend ...... I got back
into horses.  Today I have very few pennies that I can rub together,
even though I earn much better bucks, but boy, do I have a lot of fun!

Yes Scott, it would be wonderful to have the $$$s, but if I have to get
rid of one of my horses in order to have that, the price would be too
high!  So, I'll buy the lottery ticket when I remember, but I'm
certainly not going to spend sleepless nights wishing for the big
pay-day!
