It is in the doing that we become who we are. Dream on! A million(AFTER taxes) wolld work for me at this point. I'm really OK as far as lifestyle and wouldn't want to get too greedy( why?-just look at the effect it has on the world around us). The point would be that if I had that much I could continue to live the same lifestyle, without having to work, and the money would last me over 30 years, Oh, and that's if I just stuufeed it under my mattress. On the other hand, having 10mil in an interst bearing account would be sweet. Just live off the interest. Any more than that and I would have to start being a philanthropist. Just couldn't see spending millions or billions on myself. But the philanthropy thing, helping in major ways would be a blast! Wonderwall( I love that pick!) says it best.

Though, as a few said above, living richly is more a state of mind than anything. I am a pretty no frills kind of person. Sure, I collect a few things and like electronics but am happy with getting stuff little by little. I really just want to live a pretty comfortable lifestyle without to many bill worries is all.

But Heidi's question was very specific, "We’re talkin’ funds, casheesh, cabbage, dinero. I don’t want any 'My life is rich through my creativity, family and friends.' We all know about that and that’s good." So that's what I, Poorgood and Agodoy (kinda sorta) were addressing in cold, concrete terms as requested.
