[pwd72s]

Once you ARE rich, you no longer feel the need to APPEAR rich by buying $$$ cars, wearing the gold watch....it's also an age thing...once you pass the big six-oh, "stuff" just doesn't hold the importance that it once did. Not that I'm rich, but now that Cindy & I have reached the financial state where we could APPEAR to be so, we don't want to. Would a GT3 in my garage make me happy after I became weary of a pristine '72S? Nope...it's just different "stuff". Would a $30,000 gold rolex tell time any better than a $200 stainless Hamilton? No...but it makes one mugger bait, an exotic car makes one cop bait. At age 63, I'm more into reducing life's hassles than adding to them.
