What would you do if I gave you a million dollars? Okay, after paying all your bills, then what? Okay, after quitting your job, then what? Okay, after travelling to every place you want to travel, then what? Okay, after buying your mom/dad/husband/wife/kids/girl/guy that _____, then what? After starting that company, then what?
This is a line of questioning I'm fond of putting to friends and colleagues. After that long list of travel spots and spending on toys, I tend to get a response like, I'd open a flower shop, or I'd bike to Florida, or I'd learn how to fly a plane, or I'd give to charity. Then, I ask, why not do that now? And then, the light blub usually goes on.
It's tempting to put off the things that really mean something to us because of money. If we are lucky enough to make tons of money, or are at least reasonable successful financially, then we usually realize that there are some really important things that money can't buy, like health, and unconditional love. It's sounds cheesy, but it true. However, if we aren't so lucky, we make do with what we got and Goeth forth.
