I agree with you, both, if that's possible. I think that once our debt is paid off, the amount my husband makes will be more than enough to sustain us, and I have no desire to have an obscene amount of money. You always find obscure relatives when you have a lot of money, and it's not always a good thing...Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298451372107211297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-70435454125872693272010-07-14T15:04:49.132-06:002010-07-14T15:04:49.132-06:00"A bicycle I look cute on."

I think it's funny how differently we interpreted the same 'theme.'<br /><br />I was excited to see how that went. :)<br /><br />I agree with you about the food. I would LOVE to be able to buy and eat all the food I want, but I would tag that into 'If I were a skinny woman' ;)Cannwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664155690689747533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-2933438715617892392010-07-14T11:00:26.131-06:002010-07-14T11:00:26.131-06:00Oh, I agree to a point with Dad - I think it is hu...Oh, I agree to a point with Dad - I think it is human nature to want "more", but that doesn't always translate into more money. We want more happiness, which translates into wanting more of whatever we think will give us that happiness. More love, more time, more space, more possessions...<br /><br />If we don't understand what's going on, we never do achieve that desired state of happiness. We spend all our time chasing after our secondary goals, wondering why we're so miserable still.<br /><br />To misquote you, happiness is "a state of mind and not a state of finance."Jenniferhttp://literarysoundtrack.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-80848423222014052182010-07-14T09:41:00.243-06:002010-07-14T09:41:00.243-06:00Favorite line Cannwin: In my opinion my list does ...Favorite line Cannwin: In my opinion my list does not require wealth.

My thoughts went immediately to being laid off and knowing that we would be okay for a long time. We had some food storage. We had a woodstove and a woodpile outside. Our cars were paid for... in fact we had no debt except for the house. We had money in the bank and a small business on the side.<br /><br />I won't say that there was no stress or knots in my stomach. (Actually those didn't start happening till about the 3rd or 4the month though.) <br />Nothing takes the place of knowing that you can feed and clothe your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-12266204564997330022010-07-14T09:31:16.186-06:002010-07-14T09:31:16.186-06:00Great post!!!
