Wooden Chair (Photo credit: epSos.de) |
Another day a not so well know friend called me, telling me that her new house (must be her second house) construction had just finished. I congratulated her. Then she asked about my health and everything else. I just told her that I was in very good shape, health was improving, and mentally I was very happy. As if disappointed by my answer, she asked: "how about money?" Surprised by this unexpected question, I asked how about it? She said that for all these years I must have no saving. I said that's right, because I barely had energy to take care of myself. "So?" She asked. Then I said that despite the difficulty, I still managed to make enough for me to live life. I also added that I don't really care much about money, because I believed that extra money don't bring extra happiness.
I don't remember exactly what's her response, but I do wish that I knew the quote above at that time so I could say: since I only have one ass and one chair, I have no money problem!
