Many years ago when corn was 93¢ and dad said he was getting $3 for corn by feeding cattle and hogs I asked him why he didn't buy more cattle and just buy the corn to fee them.  He could have be very rich or had a lot more money.

He said, I had enough.  He could buy a new car or pickup when he wanted.  He wrote a check for a house near by, he wrote a check for 45 acres and he loaned money to a realtor for a business in town.  We were never hungry and life was good.

He helped the neighbors and donated to our church. 

I think about that and as I age and am myself 80 I wonder, why do people at my age want more money?  When you have millions (not me) what are you going to do with it?  If as I see, some people travel a lot, have nice homes, eat at restaurants a lot, and still have millions left.  Why keep on trying to get more?

I'm not envious of those who have worked and now are enjoying the fruits of their labor and investments.  If I had invested in a few things I would have more money too, but we have food, health care, heat, cool, transportation and friends.  I might like to have a few things but I think wanting a few things is better than having everything you want.
