It isn't all about the money, or is it?

I was always told that the only way money changed a person, "if they get a windfall or something like that", is it only makes you more of what you already were. If you are an alcoholic - you can buy more, better beer. If you are a giving person, you can help more people. It is all in our own perspectives on how it will affect us. A few years ago, I received a cash settlement for over $130,000. I looked at the check, said "cool" and handed the check to my wife and went back to mowing my grass. Yes it was nice to have and money can make your life better, but only if you respect it and think about what you are doing. In saying that, the only way it can make your life better is it can take away the stress of to many bill and the stress that causes. Or working for a jerk of a boss. We have a life to live to the fullest everyday, whether we are rich or not. Just think about it. I'll get off my soapbox now.
