My dear old daddy (and he liked being called my dear old daddy) use to say:

“I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor.  I like rich better.”

More wisdom next week.

    Well said, I like to look at the realistic side of the world. We spend time to make money, losing money is like losing time, therefore losing a part of our lives. money allow us to stay away from jobs that we dont want to do. We need money to get surgeries, to get houses, foods, education, kids education etc

    It’s like my husband who says, “I’d rather be rich than stupid.” (He stole that from somewhere.)

    Profound words. My favourite is “Money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy you a really big yacht, and you can sail up riiiight beside it.”

    it’s just as easy to love a rich man as a poor one . It’s just a lot harder to find one.
