I grew up with money......

But it didn't take the violence, the fear, the terror of my childhood away.....

I went to the best schools, had the best clothes.....but I still didn't have any friends......

Then, all the money was gone in a 4 year divorce and a bankruptcy due to mismanagement.......

And I grew up with wealthy children from other families with a gross sense of "entitlement".

So, money didn't protect me, money is transient, money is a means to an end.

My philosophy......if you do something you love and get paid well for it......excellent. If not.......just live and love anyway.......money is not the path to love.......it is the path to paying the bills.

And I have lived with no money......on welfare and mentally ill......and my boy is well adjusted, my family is intact and I have a healthy veiw of money.......

When I look at my friends with money.......the underlying theme?.......is that it is never enough

Money and I........have a strange and suspicious relationship.......

In stillness,

Michah
