I have a question for everyone. What is Rich?
Nikki seems to think that all of her friends are rich and that we are poor.
Are other people rich because they have a bigger house then us? Are they rich because they have car payments? Are they rich because their mom';s give them $100 and drops them at the mall.
Or are we the rich ones? We live in a house we can afford, we have great running car's that are paid for, and we shop sales and buy used stuff.
Are we rich because we have more money then what we show? Are we rich because we have a safe full of jewels and a house full of priceless furniture? Or are we just lucky because the jewels and the furniture were left to us?
HMMMM.... anyway I was just wondering. I don't think we are poor. I rather like having having more money then we show.
Anyway I am off to get my nails done.
