Money can give you a luxurious bed but it cannot give you sound sleep. The satisfaction comes from within...one cannot buy it.

They made the 2 from 1966 to about 1980. I don't think the V was even made in 1999. That’s a Gulfstream 2, not a Gulfstream V. They made the 2 from 1966 to about 1980.

Mo's right - gotta tackle old problems otherwise the problems snowball. There's an excellent book that's out of print but you can get on Amazon used called "Napkin Notes: On the Art of Living" which is an excellent read on the subject.

Both husband and wife quit their jobs to manage the windfall. It wasn't entirely cash, but cash, investments, real estate and other such items. They went on to detail how much time it takes them to manage their finances as they did not want to hand over the day-to-day stuff to an advisor who would probably charge fees. They also had to adjust the way they lived, as they had growing children who may now feel that they can get anything they want without working. Though I'm sure anyone would want to be in that situation, money will not buy happiness - as one other poster said "having money may resolve old problems, but you will now be faced with newer problems".

Most lottery winners are broke after only 5 years. Why do you think that is? I just posted an article related to spending habits earlier tonight and how choices we make can lead anyone to debt.

People always think that when the money appears they will be happy and life will be fanastic but you demonstrated that you don't need wealth to be happy right now. I went through a similar experience of nearly losing it all through credit card debt and it does put wealth into perspective! Look forward to reading more Diane Love this article.

One shouldn't devote his complete life on making and mushrooming money, instead, there are other things also. Superb post! -SpyBuster Money is not Life, but is a part of life.
