Hey @Powderfinger 

I think your post is very wise and I love that quote.  It is not one I have seen before but encapusulates the way I see a lot of mainstream life.  I have worked in a lot of different fields and held a wide range of roles so it makes me feel my life is rich even tho it has not been in a monetary sense.  Even now I am always doing volunteer work of some kind official and unofficial.  Working out what we need rather than all those things we are told we want is key.

Cheers
