"making a living"

Do any of us really need more than that? Really nice article, B-Chan.

Thanks. The pursuit of wealth for its own sake (as opposed to the pursuit of an honest living) leads to all kinds of trouble. "Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus ibi est et cor tuum [Where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also]" - Matthew 6:21

I am satisfied to earn a reasonable middle class living. I grew up poor; I now own a small but homey brick house, an old but reliable truck, and have a family -- which is way more than I ever dreamed I would have as a kid. I have achieved my childhood goals!

By the way, I have nothing against rich people, provided they obtained their wealth honestly. Most of the rich people I know (and I do know a few, some of whom are names you would recognize) are genuinely decent, hardworking, and honest people -- and are by and large extremely generous as well.

As for me -- if I happen to get rich, great, but I have no desire to work any harder than I do now for the sake of making more money. I prefer to spend my time at home with my family rather than working for a few extra bucks. But that's just me.
