3. You know it's nice to have money but I tell you when you see things like your friend I am willing to

bet he wouldn't trade his life for a rich doctor anywhere in the US. Living the simple life is so much more rewarding I think. I guess you also learn that as you get older. Things don't really matter in the long run because you can't take it with you. I will be happy if all my bills can be paid off so my family don't have to worry about my debt. But living the simple life that doesn't stress a person is so much better. You realize you don't have to have the fanciest car, tv, cellphone or even a hugh house. God knows my house needs so much in repairs but I learned not to stress. I wish I was talented enough to make home repairs. But life is to short to stress about it.
