		<description>I agree with the earlier commenter, who points out the difference between want and need.

When someone asks what I would do if I were rich, I tell them I am already rich in love.

So long as my wife and children are healthy and well fed, and we have warm, comfortable places to sleep, I have everything I need already.

Do I want more than that? Sure. If I should somehow end up in a situation where I have a tough time keeping track of all the zeroes at the end of my bank account, I would buy the following: a house for my mother, one of those Tesla roadsters, a helicopter, and a home large enough to accomodate a large "H" on the roof.</description>

		<description>In answer to your first question:

What If…
…You had all the money you wanted?

How would your life be different?
I wouldn't have to worry about money. And I could afford to buy anything I wanted. That doesn't construe happiness - but it takes a lot of pressure away.

Where would you live? 
I would still live in the same town as I do now. It's where all my family and friends are. I would just move to a nicer area with a bigger house.

What would you do? 
I'd go on a long holiday, treat all my friends and family &#38; then figure out a purpose for my life. I'd need to find some motivation as with all the money in the world - you don't even need to get out of bed in the morning!

What would be the same?
My friends and family. And I would like to think, my personality.

I'll let someone else answer the others.</description>

		<description>Cool post and definitely some food for thought.

I think its in human nature to desire things, be it money, love, or happiness, and to not want it makes it less worthwhile. I think. I agree with the first post, this is becoming to complicated for me now...</description>

		<description>I wish I had all those. It takes more than a lifetime to achieve them and thats why, no one will probably get to finish all the "What ifs". In life, I will be proud of myself if I have at least achieved a small part of that. It is a great feeling knowing that you can make changes in the world and that you do have a meaning in life. Great post.</description>

		<description>Hi Agentsully,

Great site, I discovered it twice, so it goes in the RSS. 

I feel very fortunate in my life. I have had so much given to me in so many areas. Money has always been the limiter though, but that is going to change soon -- starting a blog, a way for me to give back. Money would only take away restrictions which aren't that severe right now anyway. There is very little I would change that I am not already changing. I already have infinite love in my life, and deep satisfaction which comes from my spiritual pursuits and in my work. 

Thanks for your site, I'll be back.

		<description>I believe that the trick is determining the difference between your wants and your needs. 

A wise man once said, "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."</description>

		<description>hm... I think there's a fundamental difference between want and need. You theoretically don't need a lot, but then again, you can't really measure how much you need. But everyone probably always wants more than they need, and the more they get the more they want.So I can imagine well that I have all the money I need but I can't imagine in which situation I'd be if I had all the money that I want.
Ok, I think this is way to complicated for me right now. So I just try to be grateful...</description>
