I'm a Christian, Dave. I don't worship money and I hope I haven't come across that way. I agree. I know that if I'm not a giver now, I probably wouldn't be even if I was well-off. Same goes with attitude, humility, and happiness. But I do know there are plenty of people who are well off who donate their time and money to ministries and charities. For example, I know a guy who started a business from home and eventually grew it to be a well known company in the area. Now he has employees, which frees up his time. He spends probably 30-40% of his time traveling all over the state ministering to prison inmates and has put A LOT of his own money into buying books and materials for them. The band I'm in back home (at least when I am home) has led praise and worship for his organization a few times (in the prisons) over the last year. I think it would be nice to be able to do something like that full-time and have the resources to back me up.

I'd also like to home-school my son (when he is of age) and teach him practical things that I wish I would've been taught and not have to worry where the money is going to come from to pay my bills. I could do that already if I made just a little more in trading than I make now from my job - and that certainly is no where near 1M! I haven't even seen him for over 3 months because my job requires a lot of travel. Unfortunately, there isn't a job in my field of expertise in the town I live in or anywhere close to home.

OK, now I'm rambling - sorry. Back to you guys!
