Um, have you actually visited India or Africa? To live like a “King” there it takes a hefty bank account. Sure, you can live there for 1/10, or even less, of what you spent here in the US but be prepared to live like the average person in a cramped building (assuming you have a building) and eat once a day. Living to a higher standard takes $.

Yet another example of how something not related to finances will actually teach you more about the very subject.

In order to gain perspective, people should take the time to travel – and I don’t mean to an all-inclusive resort! Experiencing different places allows you to appreciate the basic things that we so easily take advantage of (don’t get me started on clean water).

As the author notes, financial security is truly what is important. The term wealth has become somewhat tainted as it has a tendency to be used in the same sentence as “excess”. Whether your account has 0, 1, or 3 commas – odds are we’re all doing pretty well.

@Money Funk Interesting. Be sure to let me know when you reveal your mystery! I totally recommend you be more greedy for money for your own sake, and for your family's. There's so much money out there, might as well get some of it, which others are taking advantage of.

@Money Funk

I’m not saying be evil or be an ass, be self destructive or anything like that. Ultimately you have to lookout for yourself (and family if married) best interest. I think greed comes from self preservation.

IMHO I believe psychology plays a large part of with business, investing and with money. How you feel about money definitely affects your decisions.

I’m thinking about some blog posts to write about the subject, not sure what angle to go with yet.

@Investor Junkie
I like that, “I have no issue with greed”. I wish I had that same outlook. And I sometimes wonder if it inhibits my financial growth not to have greed, at this time. I have the frugal outlook, right now. Since I am in the path of paying down a bunch of debt. ;)

Money Funk – You’re right, the weather here in LA is amazing! 70 degrees or something huh? Ill be at Shutters on The Beach this afternoon if you want to meet up. Lol

What new stage in your life are you referring to?

@Money Funk

Hey I have no issue with greed. Being greedy can help the overall good. The issue I have is people are not being thankful for what you already have. Realize not everyone is as fortunate to live in this country and live the way we live.
