Fiscal Thoughts



Someone whom I know is due to retire. He is not too comfortable with the idea. His pension is meager. "I have always had money to spend...... never been poor........." quoth he.

Set me thinking......
Lucky bugger, never been poor. Hell, man, I've been battling it out for years.
I've never been rich.
Damn it !!!
Hell, Nevermind.

Further thoughts.........
I've never been poor either. Maybe I've got used to being poor. God knows.
Not rich....Not poor.
How complicated this is.

Last thought at bedtime.
I don't know what it is being rich. Nor do I know what it means being poor. I do not care a fig for either state. Money comes because I earn it.......it goes because I spend it. Period.
I have all I need, what I do not have I do not therefore need.

I sent up a silent thanks.
