Most things in life are free, but you can give 'em to the birds and bees. I need money, That's what I want.-The Beatles.

Just about everyone in life wants to have a lot of money-to be rich like each member of the Beatles became. But did you notice that some people who become millionaires still aren't happy? Just look at Britney Spears, or Lindsey Lohan, or Kurt Cobain, or any other multitude of rock stars past and present who made a lot of money. Are they, or were they happier when they didn't have money or when they became millionaires?

Once you start making a lot of money, life becomes a lot more complicated. You buy expensive homes, and expensive cars. And then you have the pressure of trying to make another hit record, or score another big deal for the firm. You start wondering if all these people around you really are your friends. Maybe they're just tagging along for the ride, or using you for what you can do for them. And then you start doing drugs so you can keep up with it all. And then maybe you have a heart attack and finally realize what life is all about.

It's not about who can be king of the mountain. The more money you get the more you want. The more material things you get in life the more you want. And all you're doing is trying to fill an empty vacuous hole, that never quite fills up.

The best things in life are free. Everyone should take the time to smell the roses.
Here's what life is really about all those free things that makes you happy and that you can remember for a long time;

A baby's laugh is the most incredible feeling ever. Just go on You Tube and find the laughing baby. He laughs at his Daddy making a strange noise and last I saw two million people were laughing right along. So if you have a baby in your life, make sure you're with that baby as much as possible. And if not then talk to the Mom, or Grandmother walking a baby in your neighborhood. It will make you feel good, and hey you might even get a free laugh.

Go for a walk. It's free, unless you pay for gym membership and are walking at the gym. Walk around your neighborhood, your local park(if it's safe), the nearest beach,your local mall. Not only is it great exercise, you get outside in the semi-fresh air. You can see your neighbors and have conversations. You get to experience whatever nature has in store for the day. I walk on days even when it is 10 degrees outside because it makes me feel so refreshed and vibrant. But, don't do this if it is icy outside, because you can fall
