I'm not in the dognapping business.. or rescuing as it may be.

Yeah J. I just need to find a use for my talents. And by use I mean one that makes money. Real money.

well, you know I've always considered myself a writer, I've probably written enough stuff on the shroomery alone to fill a book or two. But so far, I haven't gotten paid for it.

I guess you always gotta have a day job to fund your hobbies, at least until your hobbies take off. I'm at my dayjob right now! Thank god they have computers here!

I'd rather be wealthy. Money may not buy happiness, but it can sure alleviate a lot of misery. :tongue:

true happiness comes from within

but many great comforts come from without. 

So yeah, money ain't everything, but it definitely helps one lead a more comfortable life.

money can also be used as a means to help others and change the world for the better.  I don't need much money for myself, but if I had more than what I needed, I would give most of it away to worthy causes.  I'd like to get my mom out of debt, and I'd like to buy my dad a boat, so he could sail away and no one would ever find him :smile:

I'd also like to give money to people like NASA, the ACLU, the NAACP, NORML, and so on...

Wealth.

First 5 years - pretty well off.

After that divorce and then we were poor as shit til I was 14 living with my mom and 3 siblings.

My dad is pretty well off now but I'm independant and have been so for 5 years now so it doesn't really matter. Sucks going home though cause everybody knows me... even people I don't know. I can't go to any store without people wanting me to tell my dad something. Closest I'd know of any fame but I hate it.

So... anonymous and humble wealth. I would rather my friends not know I had any money either. Money does more to the people around it than the one holding it. Been on both sides of the coin (rich & poor) and everyone's snobby about money.

Well, I'd like to see how it is being wealthy and miserable for a change.

I don't really desire wealth. I'm a pretty simple person and I'm happy with what I have. It would be nice to not have to work to pay the bills, but other then that I got most of what I want out of life.

And I absolutely do not want fame! If I was offered unlimited amounts of money to do whatever I want for the rest of my life but it came at the expense of my anonymity I'd have to turn it down. I never want to be recognized in public by a stranger. I value my privacy too much.
