The color of money.
I have always wondered about people and money. I mean how much would you do for money? What is your buying point? Would you sell your house for double its value? Would you rent out your spouse for a million dollars? (Ok yeah I snagged that one from Indecent Proposal) Would you sell drugs if you were guaranteed to make lots of money? How about a porn movie? How much money would it take for you to give up working for the rest of your life? If you won a contest and could collect $30K a year for twenty years would you work again? What about $60K? What if you dug up a buried treasure in the backyard, would it change your lifestyle?
Why do people work at jobs that make them miserable? Why do people never plan for tomorrow, but only live for today? Are we all that shortsighted? How come I always see these infomercials about making millions following someone's plan, yet never seem to know anyone who actually made money doing so. If someone would pay you to sit in a room all day and stare at your navel would you do so? How come people will work 80 hour weeks to make $60K, but won't work two $30K jobs? Am I the only one to ponder these things?

The answers: Quite a bit, $100,000 depending on gender, yes, no (I don't have one), no (moral issue), yes, (work might not be work if you enjoy it but otherwise...) $2,000,000, yes, yes (20 years means that I'd be 54 and I would need a job), yes (I'd dig a lot more and in better clothes), lack of motivation for change, because they haven't figured out how quickly time escapes them, only around hobbits, because if it did work we would know the person now as Warren Buffett or Bill Gates, define "all day", because there would be travel time between jobs adding to the hours and no, I don't think you are the only one thinking those things but possibly the only one thinking them all at once.
