I spent 2 years cleaning houses. What I saw makes me never want to be rich.

11. I know traveling nurses who have worked in Palm Springs

and who have made it a point to stop in every other place they've worked to tell us not to go there. For one thing, you spend nearly all your paycheck renting a little studio apartment or you spend it commuting from 50-100 miles away. For another, most of your patients need to be detoxed for a week or so before their medical problems can be addressed.

When you've got enough money to buy anything you want and no fear that the wolf will ever show up at your door, you're left with yourself and for too many people, it's just not enough. When they're younger, they try to fill the empty spot with more and more hoarded money. That doesn't work, so as they get older, they collect prescriptions and eat pills like candy.

People are supposed to want to get rich so they'll end up on easy street and life will be good all the time. I have been deeply grateful to my dad since his death that he left me enough to live on but not enough to ruin my life. There are still a few things far out of my reach.
