      I’ve started to truly understand the phrase, “youth is wasted on the young.” I had the health and energy to do everything I wanted, but not the money. Now that I have the money, my personal limitations become the real problem.

        … which is why I’ve become opposed to the notion of ‘spoiling your kid’ by giving them the things they want. There are only so many years you can buy true happiness for as cheap as a cone of ice cream. Why not do it while it’s possible?
