* You work in finance ?
* Bet your ex boss had a world class family.
* Most of the nice people you meet have loving families.
* On the other hand most of the shitty people you meet, the ones who are miserable and perennially angry and bitter, they are from broken or miserable homes.
* Just read the comments from the posters on GNI, especially over in Political, and you can tell who are the ones from loving families and who are the ones from broken or miserable families.
* The nastiest men on GNI are mostly divorced---they have shitty lives and they bring their shittiness on GNI.
* Not calling names---they know who they are.

Hope you folks are beginning to notice that most of the elements of an exceptional life, a world class life, a life with no regrets have nothing to do with money.
Here is another element of a world class life:
#4. WORLD CLASS EXPERIENCES
Ultimately life is an adventure, and experiences and memories are what separate the elite and exceptional lives from the mediocre. When you live life as an adventure you focus on collecting experiences not stuff.
* I like that. Well said. That's how I try to live my life--as an adventure.

* You can make all the billions in the world, but if you short change your family you will never live a world class life.
*Having loved ones around you, and being able to see your family whenever you choose, is a crucial part of success.
* The greatest support system in the world is good family and friends. You can't be careless here, you need great relationships and those who make you better.
* Remember, you can't change your family, and trying to do so will cause you endless stress and frustration. Love them and appreciate them for who they are.
* Anyone still reading this thread or is this stuff boring the hell out of you ?

Keep it going, man. I'm volunteering valuable and scarce minutes of my life to this thread daily. As are others, evidenced by the responses.
And, not forgetting the manners me mumma taught me, let me say "Marning, Rev. How do you do?"

Hmmmm, I need to reflect on this

* But seriously, $4 bucks an hour 30 years ago ---lemme do a Future Value calculation.
*OK! $4 an hour 30 years ago is equivalent to $17.29 an hour today.
* $4/hr = 160 per week = $8320 per year 30 years ago ----that is equivalent to $36,000 today.
* In the United States today 60% of people make less than 36K a year.
BOTTOM LINE:
* You didn't marry a poor man chams.

* That's a risk taker you got married to.
* But lemme give her credit---she's quite astute---beyond your good looks---after chatting with you---she realized you had earnings potential and goals. And so she took a bet on you.
* Congrats! You're both still together. Some high risk bets do pay off with huge rewards. Your wife made a wise choice.

* After spending 45 years with Skeldon_man the woman can spot a sweet talker a mile away.hahaha
* But seriously, you can't fool women, they know the difference between a genuine compliment and flattery.
* The Rev never flatters---never! My praises and appreciation are always genuine and authentic.
