I have experienced several different "sides" to life. I guess the most obvious are rich and poor. Rich in a way that I had more money than an average of 90% of Americans. Poor in a way that I had about as much as the bottom 10% of America. Vast differences, and personally I prefer rich.
My daughter said something strange the other day. She said she didn't want or need to be rich because we became a better family when we were poor.
I always thought we were a pretty tight knit group and had a very good family. She explained it like this...she said we became closer not just because we had a smaller house.
I guess the sharing of life experiences will do that for a family. Still I hope to have another swing at being a close rich family!

I think your daughter was probably talking about the need to rely upon each other. When everyone has all the money they want and there needs are met easily, they just sort of visit or rotate around others in the family. When you are left wanting, you reach for those near you to help you through and it does bring you closer.
ReplyDeleteI think so anyway. :)
