I don't know I have never been rich, yet being poor we still had a great life and lots of fun without too much money, I worked hard all my life for low wages but still manage to buy my motorcycles and have my beers with mates as well on my own, always ate good, never went without, never really had much money in the bank but always paid the bills and have good food on the table even bring up my own family, then 12 years ago I took a redundancy from my job of 31 years and a big pay out, has been the only time I ever had $80k in my bank account, might not seem much to most but to me it was and the good thing I owned everything including my house before the pay out.
To this day I still live a simple life, the kids have gone their own ways so just my wife, myself and the dog as well my bikes, you don't have to be rich to enjoy life, if I ever won Lotto, what the fu ck would I do with it all, but of course we can always dream.
I have 2 British bikes on the road, one I am building and my dirt bike, I wouldn't have the room for more bikes, at 66 years old now I am happy with what I got, I love my old house my dad built and lived here all my life except for the times I ran away in my younger days, most people still can't believe I don't have AC in my house, but we grew up without it, same as a lot of luxuries in life, today its hit 35c but the humidity feels like 40c, even the afternoon sea breeze feels hot, but that's life in the sub tropics, the fans in the house are doing their job to keep things cool.
Rich or poor I just enjoy life no matter what is thrown at us, my old Land Rove still gets us around, it's 24 years old and hopefully will still be getting us around for many more years yet, at lease I can fix it if it breaks same as the bikes.
Just enjoy life and live to your means.
Ashley
