Sometimes I wonder why we seem to have it all. We have a happy family, good jobs, and we live in a great neighborhood. All our most pressing needs are met.
We are not multi millionaires, but Joel and I were talking one day about what we would do if we were.
As I'm sure multi millionaires know, having money means having options. Like anyone else, we would secure our future and probably do some fun things if we were wealthy. Far more exciting, however, was the thought of making life better for others around us.
It seems to be in vogue lately to pick on wealthy people, and while some of the high-profile ones have become wealthy by lying and cheating, that isn't true for many others out there. So many of our friends and neighbors quietly write checks to fill the needs of those who have nothing. It appears to me that the complainers are the ones at fault for not recognizing what they still have, or owning up to their own mistakes when it comes to money.
No matter what we are given in this lifetime, whether it's millions or the steady trickle we've always had (or maybe nothing), I am grateful.
