Absolutely! Now we're on the same page.

I often wonder, especially with these power Internet marketers, when enough is actually going to be enough. I mean how much money do you actually need? Maybe it has become a addiction.

I'd like more money than I have, because it would give me the freedom to do whatever I want, and still do the job that I love, but honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with 10 million dollars! I just don't need it.

You've got to hand it to J.K.Rowling actually, whom I believe wrote 'Beedle The Bard' in the spirit you suggest. As far as I know the entire proceeds are going to her favourite charity.
