People with a lot of money

ah yes, comfortable ... but not too comfortable perhaps :) "it's one of my favorite topics ... the downsides of too much comfort." Cheers :)

Well, if you gave me a choice between having too much money or not enough, I would definately go for the first one. If you have more money than you need, you can always stuff it under a mattress. But if you don't have enough money to cover your daily expenses, you'll find yourself running all over the place like a mad chicken just to earn a few cents and that's not much fun. However, I guess there are plenty of unhappy people in the world who have lots of money. You're talking about people who probably feel so lonely because they think everyone around them has an insincere movtive of wanting to take all their money away from them. Then again, if you look at the way many of the world's wealthiest people made their money, you'll find that money was not their primary objective. It was the passion to do something that drove them on and the financial rewards came as a result of it. Bill Gates actually likes computers and has all sorts of visions for a hi tech future. Warren Buffet gets excited by his investment strategy. I think his phrase is, "I look at processes rather than proceeds, though I've learnt to live with those too." I guess money just comes to those who are lucky and passionate about what they do.
