Dave Writes<BR>
Rich people are people first, and rich second: in short, not that much <BR>
different than you and me. They could BE you and me had other choices been <BR>
made in our lives. Different sets of problems, to be sure, but problems none <BR>
the less. Few "have it made," depending on your definition of the phrase. <BR>
They have worries, medical ailments, car payments, lifestyle maintenance <BR>
costs(this is the gray area). They are certainly scrutinized more carefully <BR>
and judged more harshly than those with less financial wherewithal. But they <BR>
laugh, cry, sweat, bleed, sleep, and perform bodily functions like everyone <BR>
else. Some of them even spend real money on pianos. Is it better for a <BR>
family to own a brand new BB Mason and Hamlin and never to play <BR>
it--effectively, taking it out of circulation--than to own an Andrew Kohler <BR>
spinet and play the hell out of it? <BR>
