in cash to invest."
Imagine that. That means most of America can be defined as poor
people by the standard ofthat company's memo.
When I asked a friend who once worked for this firm, he verified the
comment and added, "Not only do they use that criteria before taking you
on as a client, they also use that $100,000 criteria to hire you." He went on
to saythat the company did not really care about your college education or
work experience. Before they hired you, they wanted you to write a list of

had a long list, you got the job. If you did not, you were not hired.

Back To Health, Wealth And Happiness

I mention the relationship between health and wealth and time because
there are many people who have more health than wealth ... and that may
not make them too happy. Ifyou are fortunate to have wealth and health,
you might not only live longer, you may live longer and better than those
without health and wealth.With the advances in research, there isno telling

what impact future medicine will have on health, ifyou have the wealth to
affordit.

What Is Your Answer?

who areworking hard and are wealthy,but are not taking careoftheir health.

So these are my suggestions:

1. Ifyou are not doing what you love, then start doing it, even ifit
is only part-time. For example, a friend ofmine is a civil servant
