MONEY



Advice from the richest man who ever lived.
Solomon the king of Israel.

"Those who love money will never have
enough.  How meaningless to think that wealth
brings true happiness!  The more you have,
the more people come to help you spend it.  So
what good is wealth - except perhaps to watch
it slip through your fingers!"
(Ecclesiastes 5:10, 11 NLT)

If you think wealth will make you happy,
why did it not for these people who
all committed suicide.

[I did not fact check these people.  There
are too many.]


Robin Williams, 63 years old.
Marilyn Monroe, 36 years old.
Kurt Cobain, 27 years old.
Mindy McCready, 37 years old.
Jonathan Brandis, 27 years old.
Sawyer Weten, 19 years old.
Jovan Belcher, 25 years old.
Alexander McQueen, 40 years old.
Lucy Gordon, 28 years old.
Johnny Lewis, 26 years old.
Gia Allemand, 29 years old.
Dana Plato, 34 years old.
Chris Benoit, 40 years old.
L'Wren Scott, 49 years old.
Junior Seau, 43 years old.
Misty Upham, 32 years old.
Ernest Hemingway, 61 years old.
Hunter S. Thompson, 67 years old.

And the list goes on and on and on.
Wealth and fame simply did not keep
these people happy for more than a 
short period.  And it will not for 
you nor I either.
