Net Worth Nympho
There are plenty of people who are in love with their bank books. In life, there will always be extremists.
None so extreme as the ‘Net Worth Nympho’s’, who can check their bank account or investment balances 24/7 via their cell phone, computer, PDA, or absolute worse case scenario ‘telephone banking’!
Technology has permitted the former check book fanatic, to now live, eat, and breathe their finances in millisecond, real time, ESPN style coverage. You may have met this type of person; you might even see them every morning when you are brushing your teeth.
So when does obsessing over ones assets cross the line, between a little excessive compulsive, and truly becoming a behavior that deviates from what society finds acceptable?
Well, first off who cares what society thinks?
What we are talking about here is addiction, plain and simple. Just like a nymphomaniac is addicted to sex, many, many people have become addicted to money.
You would be surprised how many people are out there. The X-Korn guitarist admitted being addicted to money, Millard Fuller the founder of Habitat for Humanity, rapper Chuck D, and even the recent eBay scammer Charles Stergois, sentenced to six years in prison, admitted he was indeed addicted to money.
There is a very clear difference between success and wealth.
Although they often go hand in hand, I think many people get their wires crossed, and allow reality to slip away.
The main stream media certainly hasn’t helped, and advertising today would challenge almost anyone’s psyche to believe we should all be driving a Mercedes’ Benz.
Most people can tell the difference between right and wrong, but often in one’s pursuit of success they can start to focus on the wrong things.
If it becomes an investment statement, bank account, or real estate portfolio that makes you feel successful, then that is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the great work, and enjoy your wealth to the fullest.
Just don’t forget to focus on the other areas of your life that have been with you through thick and thin.
Consider this… “You can’t take it with you when you’re GONE!”
