Excuse me, but my life is waiting.


A marathon with no finish line

Was reading the New York Times online when I came across this article on working-class millionaires.

Apparently, the thousands of millionaires living in Silicon Valley don’t feel rich. Just about everybody who works in Sillicon Valley has a nett worth of at least $2 million. TWO MILLION?!! I don’t think I will be able to smell that kind of money in my life!!!

According to the article, these super rich folk (mainly geeks and extreme workaholics), who drive around in Ferraris, own homes for which the monthly repayment is at least seven figure sums and are within the top 2 percent of America’s highest income earners, FEEL POOR.

They plug in 80 hour work weeks and basically spend all their time working because 2 or 3 million in a bank in Silicon Valley is is just peanut money.

It’s all kind of sad because these people are in living life as if it is a marathon with no finish line. Success and happiness is defined by what you have and how much you have.

It’s unimaginable. If I had that kind of money, I’d head straight for some 3rd world country, invest in stocks and live the rest of my days out like a queen.

Yeah, …. when is anything enough … that is indeed poor … sadly, I know some really close friends who feel this way … they just can’t help it or rather refuse to think any other way.
