whats the point of being rich if you dont get to live rich
It's a fair question, ratherbebig.
To be honest, ever since getting my first paper at age nine in 1991, I have had enough money to get everything I want - which, incidentally, is not very much. Within six months of getting that paper route, I have $500 in the bank and my own 14" Zenith television set. I bought a VCR a little after that, and was basically buying every comic book I wanted - at the time, a lot of Archie Comics, but by 1992, I was completely into Marvel, DC, and also EC - Entertaining Comics [the company that produced the Tales from the Crypt and related titles, and later, MAD MAGAZINE - which I also have a large collection of, stored outside my home, along with the rest of my collection].
I've just always been a simple person, I suppose. I've never really wanted much. I have my health - as best as I am aware - I love my children, I have been getting along well with my parents lately. Only one of my four siblings live in Thunder Bay, Canada, but we get along well.
Does the USA have a $1,000 a week, cash for life lottery? In Canada we have that, but with my rental income, I am able to exceed that, so it very much feels as if I won a lottery like that.
I get to do what I want when I want - which comprises spending a lot of time on Getbig, Facebook, and YouTube
- and I don't have to tow the line of a boss that I hate, or stress about where the money to pay my mortgage will come from.
I guess I just prefer the peace of mind knowing that my bills are paid and I can live life on my own terms without stressing out about money to pay my bills. I just don't need much, and all I really ever wanted by the time I entered adulthood was to not have to work a 9 to 5, and stress out about it.
I didn't sleep last night, because I was online reading Canadian legal statues...I got absorbed in it, and couldn't stop reading. That is probably the first all-nighter I have had in over five years.
But it's nice to know that I don't have to go to work exhausted, and I can just wait for my friend to come here to pay her $50 to spend three hours cleaning my house.
It could just be my autism, but it works for me. It's nice. It's easy. I get to spend a lot of time with my three kids. It's pleasant.
