[QUOTE="Star*, post: 300015, member: 4964"] Marg - Well....that came out wrong. I have a home, I have an education, I have a 20 year old car that gets me from A-B. I have a loving family and what's more important I don't base my wealth by how many "things" I have. I've had and lost more things twenty times than they will have in two lifetimes. My saving grace in "luxury items" is knowing that material things are just that - material. So the part about what they have (although poorly demonstrated - agreed) was meant to show that THEY think those things are important #1. Not me. I am lucky enough to have lost all those things a number of times. Faith, Family, Health, Ability, Manners, Empathy, Sympathy, Knowledge, Hindsight are more important than "things". With regards to writing it all out? been there done that and it was whisked over and then I was offered six months after my annual raise was due. Fifty cents.
