A couple of weeks ago, I ran into my boyhood friend David for the first time in twenty years. I had heard that David had made a fortune on the stock market, so I was surprised he wasn’t driving an expensive car, or wearing expensive clothes. As a matter of fact, he looked a lot like me, wearing an inexpensive suit that looked a couple of years old, and driving an old car with a little rust around the edges. I asked him what he was doing these years, and he said he was teaching business at the local community college. "Teaching business?" I exclaimed, "I thought I heard you were in New York, making a fortune in stocks." David smiled," Yes, I did that until five years ago, but I got out. The stress was giving me a stomachache and a had heart. Besides, once I got into that business, I had to run just to keep up. I never had any time to spend with my family. We are all much happier now." I shook my head, he had achieved every man’s ambition, but he gave it up. I had always dreamed of having money, but it never occurred to me that there might be disadvantages to being rich.
