No close friends of any consequence anymore. Last two died last year.

With all of my moves making friends has been tough. That said, wealth either way would have nothing to do with it.

I would keep the friends I got now. The ones that started popping out of the woodwork, well they can go back in the woodwork.

We share the same boat it seems. Sad and sobering but life goes on.

same friends, same house, same truck, same job, same guns, same trips and same hunts, same wife.

My wife, on the other hand, might choose to take half and upgrade on her husband!

I wouldn't completely blame her!

If I was to strike it rich I would promptly buy a Private island and Stock it with Young Hot women and Booze !
I would be the only Man on the island and if I wanted intelligent conversation I would either talk to myself or call a friend somewhere else.

Friends and spouses are the only people in your life that you get to choose. Family, relatives, co-workers etc... you don't have much choice in. So I would keep the friends because if money made a difference they wouldn't be friends in the first place but I damn sure would think about getting away from some relatives.

Yep, I kept the same friends which is part of being rich. The good news is, everybody here will be considered rich under the new administration and be asked to give up more of what you have. I'm rootin' for you. We're all in this together.

I still have some friends from grade school that I visit with on the phone.Lots have died already.If I won a bunch of money I would probably give most away to deserving people and keep enough to be comfortable in my old age.That and get me a $10,000 hooker.

Yes ,I would have to have the Best Female Cook in the world !
I would not care to have any Healthy food at all.Only the best of whatever struck my fancy for the day.

With an Island stocked with Hot young Women and Booze my Anticipated Remaining Life would probably only Be a couple of Months or Less as I am 61 Now.

But what a way to go !!

Absolutely. I have some friends that have done very well, and they have kept me as friend


if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

You can't make a person "rich".
Some may find a way to have more money for a while, but inevitably they will end up back at their point of beginning.

Poor men will remain poor, moderate men will remain moderate and wealthy men will always be wealthy.

It's the nature of the beast.

Dollars have much less to do with becoming "rich" than one might think.
It's more about a thought process that affects the decisions a man makes every wake moment of his life that ultimately effects his wealth.

There is nothing wrong with deciding to be poor just like there is nothing wrong with achieving moderate goals in life, hell most call that "Living The American Dream".

Seems some have a problem with "rich" or wealthy men for what ever reason they are capable of congering up though....

It's way more important to be happy and content, every man can accomplish that if he sets his mind to it.

My life wouldnt change too much. Maybe work less and travel a bit more. Im not a piddler so buying more stuff to fix and keep up with probably wouldnt happen.

you are very lucky these days if you have five friends that you would totally trust with your life and i bet a few of those you could trust with your money.
