I'd love to have £750 million "cash" but frankly I don't spend much now anyway, so having THAT much wouldn't do me any good personally. However, I'd have a helluva ball making secret contributions to charity or really needy people, including friends and family. Everybody should aim to be rich, around the £2-5 million mark minimum, just so they can learn from, and hopefully enjoy, the journey of making that much money. I know that's my minimum goal before I hit 45. Hi Neil,

You have it right when you talk about what is important in life. Somewhere along the way we have been taught that being rich means gathering in as much money as you can. It would be terrible to find out on the last day of your life that this was all scandalous nonsense. Being rich really means loving your dear ones with every fiber of your being, running on the beach with your dog, and meeting with friends in a cafe. Doing these things helps you live forever. Good post, Neil!

Can't remember which Internet Marketing Consultant who said his rich clients find it so hard to be happy. Guess many of the personal lives and relationship wreckages of the rich and famous have not been helped with money abundance, have they? Happiness and contentment is another 'game' separate from xtreme money making. Maybe they are mutually exclusive, I don't know. Thanks for inviting me here Neil :) Who said it best that it’s easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom?

What matters is how we enjoy and appreciate life. I always remember a work collegue telling me about his new plane. He said, he who dies with the most toys wins. I couldn't have disagreed more. As you hinted at in your review I suspect that people who are driven to make money as their main focus in life are missing out on so much and may actually not be as happy as the image they like to portray. This certainly seems to apply to a lot of the rich and famous who end up in rehabilitation clinics with a trail of wrecked marriages and relationships behind them. Excitement? Yes they have lots but are they satisfied and content? I doubt it. Enjoy your children growing up. Before you know it they will be adults with children of their own. It would be nice to leave a forest named after me but maybe I'll just plant the one tree..lol Hi Neil,
