<<Do You Invest to Live or Live to Invest? >>

Thanks for posting that Sarkie, it is so true that we need to sometimes be reminded of the value of our families and friends. Quality sharing today. can be muted by too much intent and focus on tomorrow and money.

These things, in the end, will seem worldly and of relative unimportance, where the opportunity to spend a few more minutes with those we love will loom large. How true!

I have passed up a number of chances to spend quality time with my friends or family under the guise "no I can't do that with you today, I'm working". When in reality I was just looking up one more stock quote or one more new post.

The thing is I have actually felt resentful to my family and friends at times for "losing a great buying opportunity"-because I spent time with them last summer away from phones when in August prices bottomed out on I-net stocks.
I almost blamed them for it, mostly to myself.
It is more like "losing a great living opportunity" when we place more value to having and making money, than on our children, partners, friends and family.

PS-Sarkie, nice overview post you did on CHTR this morning.
