Well, this has been amended and updated. For my 80th birthday someone gave me a check for $80.00 so I'm worth a dollar a year!
So here I am from one to eighty!
If the truth be known I care nothing about money. I like to play with a few unrelated figures.
I would be happy to be like my Dad and slide on out of here with less than $2000.00 in his bank account after all expenses were accounted for his funeral. We did not have to go through a will because his assets were so few. If the family agreed to take the money out of the account and close it that would be the end. No fuss! No muss!
That's a good philosophy Red. When one has a lot of money, way more than they need it brings lots of things to consider for when we are no longer here. It also seems to bring out the worst in some people. It is much easier when we have enough to meet our needs, a little more to help others and enough to cover our ending here. No family quarrels that way ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good situation but people get nervous and want some extra so away they go.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteHappy 80th birthday! Money and things do not make a person happier. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week ahead.
Thanks. Agreed. Money can sometimes be a problem.
Delete...oh come on Red, you are priceless!
ReplyDeleteWell thanks!
DeleteWell it looks like you've got a long way to go yet so you might need it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I might need more money than I think. A long way to go??? Who knows?
DeleteYou are worth MUCH more than that to me. I love the story about your friend who gave you that check! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks. You make me think with every weekend post.
DeleteI like your philosophy .... and with that attitude you'll probably be around to collect $100!
ReplyDeleteGood one! I'd like a $100. check!
DeleteYou are worth your weight in gold, dude.
ReplyDeleteWe had so many hassles with my dad's estate. oiy.
Oh , I wouldn't want that much of the stuff.
DeleteYou're worth millions, Red!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Millions of what? I'm not sure!!!
DeleteSounds like a good philosophy.
ReplyDeleteWell, Dad had some support. He gave away all his land to us so we were ready to support him.
DeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteI think you are most likely worth well more than 80 dollars...is that Canadian or American $:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your outlook, Red. What a great idea for a birthday gift for turning 80 - 80 bucks! I'll have to remember that idea for future gift-giving.
ReplyDeleteRemember the old VISA ads where they give the actual price of three or four items, then have one more item that they say is "priceless" - well, that's what good people like you are, in my opinion.
Well, I certainly don't place a monetary value on anyone. But you are priceless! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Red. May you have many more.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea with that picture of you . What your surrounded with.
ReplyDeleteIn the baby photo I'm sitting on Grandma's front step. I think I'm sitting on the door mat.
DeleteBelated Happy Birthday wishes to you, Red, and I agree that there's no placing a $ value on anyone. We are all worth a lot that has nothing to do with money.
ReplyDeleteYes! You have summed it up perfectly. No fuss. No muss.
