<<Money CAN buy happiness.>> Not if what you have to do to make money makes you miserable. I can't believe you never met anyone who fled the "rat race." Joan Edit: P.S. Besides, we are not talking "rich" or "poor." We are talking "rich" or "not rich." There's a difference.

I have never met an unhappy rich man That's probably because in the circles you run in you don't meet any rich men. Your remark is about as valuable as my saying, truthfully, that I have never met people named James R. Barrett who seemed to have IQs over 70. And certainly never met any that represented any sort of contribution to the human race. Living in the community I live in, I happen to know a number rich men and women, and a number of poor men and women, and I certainly know a number of very happy AND a number of very unhappy both rich and poor people. The only real difference is that it's easier for the rich to pretend they are happy and fool silly people like yourself who think that if somebody has a lot of toys, they MUST be happy.
