How rich i am is not how rich i feel....am i being greedy?
Check out this site,
it gives some perspective and context. And my personal philosophy is "Context is everything"

Although, some context is not all context.....

Heh. I know where I'd be on the global "rich list" and that'd be pretty darned low.
Dont think I'll ever aspire quite that high, though. Having enough to come to France every once in a while and seeing you and J.D. would be quite enough for me!
so, I get that I am not poor or starving or living barfoot and diseased in a village somewhere...but, given my lot in life and where I'm at, I would like to be able to pay my bills. that's it, I'm not greedy - no need for the 6-figure salary...just want to be making more than I have going out each month...not a lot really. And I ask, am I overextended, or underpaid for my expertise and time? Do I not budget well, or is it the constant stream of financial pitfalls that keeps me behind the 8-ball?
There are days when I wish I could just give it all away and go back-packing around the world living on nothing...but not really. Maybe 10 years ago...truth is, I think I can make a difference in other ways and that's okay too.
Of course, it is nice to have it all put into perspective once in awhile...
