Another silly supposition.
Of course, I cannot take it with me when I die, but my wife, kids, and grandkids will be better off.
I will leave behind a company that provides a good living to a number of families as well as contributing to the economic strength of the USA.
Building a company has been the most satisfying experiences of my life outside of raising some great kids.
BTW, my net worth is north of $1M, and that is AFTER going BK 14 years ago. I just worked, saved, and built a new company.
I never worked to create wealth for my own pleasures or luxuries. I live a pretty simple life completely content without sports cars, yachts, or plastic women.
I like raising kids, raising chickens, gardening, hunting squirrels in my pasture, and drinking coffee with my beloved wife.
I have 3 rules for all expenditures:
1. Does it make me healthier?
2. Does it make me more secure/safer?
3. Does it have a good return on investment?
