True. But their advantage is that they don't have time to sit around and wallow in depression (unless they're on the dole).

Agree...money does not buy happiness....but it sure does put you in a good position to bargain.

I've been there....and here is one thing that I have learned...if you earn your fortune the hard way...you get an education as you earn it. If you come upon your fortune the easy way...you do not have that education and thus it can be very hard to maintain your good fortune.
