For me richness is about a balance in life.For me I try to get the most out of life financially,emotionally,spiritually,physically etc.I want to be balanced as much as possible in all aspects of my life.In a previous business I owned a restaurant.Great money but I was always putting out employee fires and they didn't care about the business like I did.In my 20's my cholesterol was 300 and my weight was 285 at 5 foot 9 inches tall.So I made some changes.Now I weigh 185 and cholesterol at 201.Workout and feel great,travel,work as much or as little as I want,and I don't feel like a slave to the business.If I choose I can ramp up my business more at any time but I control it now versus the other way around with previous businesses.I can show you a lot of tired,depressed,lonely,sad people that have a bunch of money.I would rather make 200k a year and have the terms I want in life then 350k and feel out of control and out of balance.Some brokers/agents tell me I will do this 24/7 and close tons of deals.I then ask them how long they have been doing it??

I dont see that working for someone else that holds my destiny in their hands.To sum it up:Freeedom....physically, spiritually, and emotionally are my primary objective in investing.

This is absolutely true and is the more spiritual side of this issue.

It is entirely one thing for me to wonder if the deeply spiritual David Carradine may have been overcome with grief at some grave social injustice.
