If your bowels are working and your wife or vv is reasonably happy that is a good start.

Money can't buy happiness, it rents it day by day.
Money can't buy love, it can only rent a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Everything

And in the end, I realize, I'm just a simple man.
Nothing special, nothing grand, just an ordinary man.

And there have been times, when I had thought,
If I only had this or that,
I'd be something more, than simply what I am.
And all I am, is just this man, you see
Right here in front of you.
Nothing more, nothing less, just me.

And in the end, I realize, it really is enough,
Just to be, who I am.

And I can see, there have been times
When my wants grew above my needs,
And both went unmet, unsatisfied.
And the feeling it left behind,
Became one to remind me,
Of really who I am.

And in the end, I realize, I really have enough,
Just with what I have.

Money can't buy health or happiness or true love... It is highly over rated as a source of happiness.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

To me, money buys freedom, freedom to do as I wish, when I wish to do it................and "that" makes me happy.

Money cannot buy happiness, but the lack of enough to supply basic needs will make you miserable.

To quote Tommy Lee of Motley Crue: Money can't buy happiness, but it will buy a big ass yacht and you can pull up right next to it.

Hmmm - tough choice to either be dirt poor, but blissfully ignorant - or miserably rich, wondering why I'm always smiling.

I'll never have either choice - so may as well be happy with what we have.
