I've been around people with very large sums of money for most of my life, and most of them don't strive to do as much as those who aren't as financially well off as them, so.. no, I would rather keep my health.
Do I enjoy getting my ass kicked financially sometimes? Obviously not.. but I do enjoy finding ways to cope, or earn my standing in society. My Dad was as wealthy as they come, and he was and is a total @sshole (though he was a high rank in the Navy, and earned his pay).. my mother and two sisters and myself were all teachers, which pays sh!t.. and my voiceover doesn't pay much better until I get an agent, but.. we earn our pay.
This may seem inane, but I grew up in wealth, and my soon-to-be-ex-wife's family are all multi-millionaires, and they vacation/buy sh!t like mofos, and throw money at charities, but don't DO anything productive, so.. no.. I don't want money handed to me on a silver platter. I'll keep those few years of my life. thanks.
Oh.. and her immediate family still works, but they work at a corporation they started.
Her mother's brother and his family and her father's brother and his family all have careers of their own, though.
Rant over.
Money honestly has the power to corrupt, as I've unfortunately learned recently.
Would you swap $$$ for years off your life
