Oh, no, my answer has always been: define rich.  I have spent most of my
adult life doing exactly what I wanted, every day, without having to worry
about food and survival, with the freedom to spend my time however I wish.
This is the end-result of being rich throughout history, as far as I can
tell.

$$-poor but time-rich, and control of my life is all that matters to me.

That being said I am right now working as a wage slave, and it totally
sucks.  But I'm homeless so I have to do it.  When I move I'm going to make
and (hopefully) sell small clusters with a friend of mine. Wish me luck.

Dwayne
