If you’re a miserable wretch and you get some money, well, you know how that goes…" Amen to that. I've seen enough of those "True Stories Lottery Winners" to know that money can amplify bad things in a person's life. “Money is a great amplifier… If you’re a miserable wretch and you get some money, well, you know how that goes…”

Amen to that. I’ve seen enough of those “True Stories Lottery Winners” to know that money can amplify bad things in a person’s life.

Money is a great amplifier. If you are already happy and get some money, you will probably use it in ways that make you happier.

Don't get the wrong impression.. I don't think it's wrong.. I guess "to each his own" since Neil is so successful today.. Really proves that there's no "one size fit all" eh? Nah..

However, who am I to say it's wrong? I'm just here to learn something new like everyone else. =) To be honest, I don’t personally agree with Neil’s P.O.V. either. However, who am I to say it’s wrong?

Although money does make me happy, I don't quite agree with Neil's P.O.V. but I also realise that each of us are wired up differently. While most Personal Development Gurus tell us that we should look within rather than without, I do believe that one needs some form of cash. One point I think which we can learn from is the fact that we are more care-free when we were kids. Thanks for the obvious but rarely noted observation Neil! I'm going to be living with the heart and spirit of a kid from now on! Oooo,, You just inspired me for a blog post ;) Wow Neil’s got a lot of dough!
