[quote=Anonymous]Happiness and contentment are the greatest forms of wealth. Cheryl Crow says its about wanting what you have, not having what you want. So that's a starting point.

For me I wouldn't be happy without the freedom money provides. If I found myself broke tomorrow and unemployed tomorrow, I'd get a job at McDonalds or Costco and I'd work as many hours possible 365 days a year. I'd become the best hamburger flipper or cashier they'd ever employed. I'd live in a small apartment close to work. I'd pay bills, reestablish my credit rating, and if save some portion of my paycheck every week and even if I were penniless, I'd never stop being a capitalist. For observant people there are opportunities around us all the time.

If you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere!!!

Ghandi only desired a robe, a bowl, and a spoon. If one can find self-actualization/fulfillment with a robe , bowl, and a spoon those are perfectly valid choices, but my choices would be different.

You have choices to make, but age 40, is far too early to give up on one's dreams. At age 40, I would call that facing the realities of life and giving up one one's dreams, all excuses for having quit trying to succeed while you are still very young.

The possibility of making your dreams come true will only die on the day you quit trying to make them come true. [/quote]
