It’s not money

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

I think many people believe that if they had enough money all would be well with the world. However money doesn’t buy happiness.

For example, you have a job. You love the work and you really like your coworkers. You are offered a position, maybe becoming a manager. Now you have to be your coworker’s boss. That’s not fun. Now you are making more money but you hate your job.

Sometimes loving what you have instead of wanting more and more is what makes life worthwhile.

Spending time with family and friends. Enjoying simple things like sharing a meal. Helping someone who needs help.

So being kind, loving, supportive helps a person live a good life.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.

  1. Besides not too far away, concept of money will disappear. Like the old uncivilised ages, there will be ‘trade, swap’ commodities. Some trade offers can get as ugly as: ‘I’ll trade my lambo in exchange for your daughter! My acre of land for your one kidney! Scarry!
