We do our own yard work - no gardener for us - you try raking and mowing an acre of hilly yard. We do our own cleaning, we do our own wash - no house cleaner for us. We do our own dishes - by hand - yep, no dishwasher for us. We do not have a Hummer nor an Excursion, we have a '95 Chevy Blazer - no kidding...only 1 vehicle. We do not have an in-ground salt-water swimming pool, in fact, we don't have any pool at all. We live in a tiny, rented house - can't afford a nice huge one by the lake. We do not have 3 dogs, 4 cats, and whatever else, we can just feed our 1 dog. We answer our own phone and write our own letters - no personal assistant for us. We, or I should say, Richard, runs the forum by himself, dealing with problems, figuring things out, by himself - no webmaster for him. And despite what some people may say, I do have 4 daughters and 9 grandchildren - can you say birthdays and Christmas?
Sorry...I just had to add my rant since I have been quiet for so long. I don't want anyone to think we are living high on the hog...far from it. But we get by and we're happy (mostly), and that's all that counts, right?

Right! To achieve the State of Happiness in the present moment irrespective of external taunts, this is always one of the most excellent of achievements.

I hear ya.
You know I grew up lower middle class, im just trying to make ends meet every day. try to keep my head above water.
all i care about is i find some sense of truth in this world... thats all im after. some truth and some peace.
some days i really crave to have more so i could maybe travel the world and see some new beautiful cultures..... or even start a school that would teach real truthful stuff. i really woulndt mind having a new pickup cos mines just about done for. but i dunno guys, sometimes i can barely wake up in the morning because im so tired and i just dont have time or energy to put together something like that.
i mean is it possible to do this without the green stuff? i wanna know guys. sometimes i am so close to giving up that i just dont know what to do. part of me gets mad at people who grew up with lots of money because i have to struggle for every scrap i get.
hope you dont think im a bad person for saying that. just sharing my ideas

Dreamtime- you are the bomb!
Richard- I guess that's why I love what you do. Your genuine search for answers is evident, and you can't hide your heart. Hyperspace Cafe is a blessing to me.
That being said: I am far from rich, but the truth is priceless!!
Thank you for providing more truth than I would ever have without Hyperspace Cafe..

I can relate to both above posts. I also can relate to the fact that nothing is more precious than health. I have a family member with MS and she would give up all her money to be able to walk and feed herself.
