Well said. Funny Kevin and I had a conversation about $$ a week ago. Both my wife aka my sugar momma (
) and I have very well paying jobs and we are very lucky to be living very comfortably. But along with all that extra money comes with a lot of other problems and a lot more BS... relatives asking for money.. AMT, long workdays and nights, tons of traveling and more BS to deal with at work especially when you are in the upper management level.. all that for what??? nothing really.. because you don't even have time to enjoy the luxuries that you have.. food for thought..

Many times I thought to myself, damn, how lucky they must be!
On the red-eye flight coming home I looked across at my sleeping wife and daughters. I thought about the fun we had on our vacation. My one year old took her first steps. My 5 year old finally got over her fear of the big waves. I thought about how many times people complimented us on our daughters in restaurants, on the beach, while shopping and on airplanes. I thought about how my wife deserves most of the credit for that.
And I thought, damn, how lucky I must be! You are right Kevin, it is all relative - literally.
