As I grew older I thought the best part of my life
was over ...

THEN -

I was handed my first grandchild and realized the
best part of my life had just begun!

"I would most certainly not object to have my bank account boosted by more figures but I most certainly wouldn't spend my waking hours trying to figure out schemes to help me achieve that !"

Come on Indy, we the taxpayers boosted it by $1500 recently, didn't object to that did you? Can't boost the aged welfare beyond the present luxury level. Although I'm sure you're working on a scheme to achieve that at this very moment. BTW, this week is "be nice to your public servant" week. How about whipping up a batch of scones and taking them down to the lads at your local 'Centrelink' just to show your appreciation at a job well done.

the taxpayers boosted it by $1500 recently,
Paul1405,
that's a pittance in comparison of the taxpayer Dollars wasted on the likes of you, it makes me shudder to think that I helped pay for your wasting !

And we've been paying the dole bludgers more than the pensioners for a while now don't forget.

Meanwhile be careful of all that dreaming Foxy. That is often the incentive to rush out & buy expensive things, like cars & overseas travel.

Foxy,

I'm happy knowing that I am one of the most educated people in the country and I wouldn't give that up for all the money in the world.

Money is just a tool to use for acquiring goods. Glass beads, shells, wooden carvings, fish and vegetables even exchange of labour would do - has done and still does - in primitive societies even today.

Whatever instrument is used for people to get what they want or need, it is neither good nor bad, not very interesting as a topic,and some people will always have more of it or less of it than some other people.
