True, but money can buy you a fuckload of PLEASURE.

Obviously, not for her , having all that wealth and living in a hospital ward till you're 104 ?:(

that's rough

"Center where she lived in seclusion for 22 years after cutting herself off from friends and family, "

How interesting....

Much better article here:

I guess it's not that odd. Rich folk own houses, and even though they don't travel to them much they still have to be maintained.

Quoted for truth

Yeah, I read that early this morning, just could'nt spot it when I posted the thread, love their NY house on the bottom of the page

Nice gardens on the house.

Money can buy you things that can make you happy.

But loads of money could make me happy by giving me the ability to never have to work with assholes I don't want to work with.

would it be wrong to write to the family saying that she promised me money in her will?

I think a better headline would have been...

"Money can not buy you sanity"

yep, pretty much.

It can't buy you happiness but it sure does make life a little easier IMO.

It's what you do with the money.

She was totally trapped.

She had more power than she knew... but was pushed under... and no direct heirs.

Sabby:)

Indeed :2 cents:

only 104? i'd tap that ass !

Being unhappy and rich, sure beats being unhappy and poor.

Poor people die alone all the time, some live as recluses all the time.

Poor people fuck up their lives all the time.

Poor people go mad, my first wife's mother stayed in the house for 20 years and eventually retreated to the bedroom. They were poor and she was the most miserable person I ever met.

We only take notice when it's someone rich and write a newspaper article about her.

Money never bought me happiness, it was just a measure of how successful or not I was. The things that made me happy were very cheap or free. Evs, our daughter and now my little puppy.
