Well, I guess for me personally - how much money someone makes just doesn't concern me all that much; I was raised in (relatively) pretty comfortable circumstances, and indoctrinated pretty consistently by a mother who said things like: "Marry a doctor" all the time, etc. - but - after living with someone who made quite a nice living for 15 years who didn't seem to care or not if I was even there, I can honestly say that for me, someone having more than "enough" money isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when the other party assumes that having any will make up for the many other areas in which they may be neglecting you (but I won't beat that pony to death again)... Of course, nobody wants to starve. I don't have to, but I fully intend to go back to work (once I figure out just what the heck I want to do) - I'd die of boredom if I didn't, probably. Of course, volunteer work doesn't ever count as "work" for some people - even though it can be work (but for me, it's just rewarding). - Susan
