My life's been sad, and not all too great lately. About $5000 would start me on the right path. Email me if you'd like to help me out.
I think money has a magnifying effect. It makes happiness happier and sadness sadder. It drags everythign to an extreme, which is risky, but a risk some (like myself) are more willing to take than others. If by any chance you guys know someone who thinks that their money is causing them unhappiness and they would like to "Get happy" immediately, please tell them to contact me. A therapist or consultant will put them through hours of boring jabber before taking their money but I'm not going to make them suffer. I'll just take it and leave. The reality of it is that there is no one in the world who is taking their fortune, donating all of it (except what they need to live comfortably) to charity, and saying they're happy.. Everyone prefers their chances of getting happy WITH money over WITHOUT money...
My bad, I shouldn't have said everyone.. That's ridiculous of me. What I meant to say is that it's not common.
