My whole thesis is that you will ONLY be successful if the money you're aiming at is to support your intended LIFE ... the presumption is that you know and understand (a) what your future life will look like and (b) what the monetary 'gap' is that you need to fill in order to help you fulfil that life vision. BTW: being a 'millionaire' or 'feeling a million bucks' just doesn't have the cache that it used to ... I would like to replace it with "thrillionaire" [$3 mill.] because it sounds so damn good, but, I'm not even sure even that's going to be enough. @ blogrdoc – China has a lot to offer the aspiring rich right now (and, I’m not even talking about the cultural, etc.).

On top of that, it has some of the most heart-achingly beautiful music you'll ever hear. I really liked your parallel to life and money. One of the reasons I think 4HWW has struck such a chord is that it has made people realize truly realize that there is more to life than work and money. One of my absolute favorite parts in that whole book was the poem in the back that talks about taking time to smell the roses. I'm not a millionaire, but there's so many times that I feel like a million bucks. @AJC:
