I'll tell you something interesting. I used to be rich. I was a systems analyst with a beautiful wife and a beautiful life and then I lost it all about 10 years ago. I have been slowly rebuilding and I realized that being rich doesn't just mean having money. It means doing what makes you happy and for me that is writing stories and travelling if I have the money. So I'm trying to make it this way even though it means working at a restaurant for now. I don't love my immediate life but I know the future will be brighter than it was before.
