I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it...and I wouldn't mind some of the benefits. But there are also responsibilities that go along with it, IMO. Plus, like I said, things one has fought for just seem more special than those that come easily.

I'll cut out the philosophizing now...or whatever the right word is.

"Actually having the money to own houses in other countries or to fly somewhere whenever just seems...too much to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;~D

That woulda covered it.
