On Facebook this question was just asked: “DO YOU NEED MONEY?”

My answer surprised most.

I said, “No, I’m fine. Hope someone who needs it gets it.”

My bills are paid. My home, condo, golfcart, and all my possessions are fully paid for. I have ample money in reserve to take me through any emergency.

I purchased a long-term insurance policy in case I need nursing care. I have a household monitored security system.

I send funds to my daughter when she needs anything and I donate to causes I believe in.

I buy what I want when I want it without thinking twice.

I have a cleaning crew that keeps my condo polished, and a couple handymen that will do little jobs for me.

My condo is modest. It’s 1,540+ square feet, modern kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two car garage, dining room, storage room and huge great room. There’s a back patio overlooking a pond and a screened-in side lanai.

The garage not only holds my Honda CRV and my upscale golf cart, but a laundry area for my washer and dryer, and a work bench. There’s also an extra refrigerator and small freezer (loaded with Omaha steaks).

I live alone, but have a cute cuddly dog who adores me. We’re both in good health.

Yes, there are a couple projects that would improve my condo, and I’ll do them eventually. I like having something to look forward to.

Last year I had all the windows in my condo replaced with windows that should withstand the worst storms that come through the area.

What more could I want?

Yes, my car is a 2020 but it only has about 1,200 miles on it and if I decide to replace it, I have the cash funds available.

I’m still mentally sharp and love a good book. I go to dances and I’m agile enough that I am occasionally asked to dance.

My wardrobe fills my closet (and I have some outfits I haven’t even worn), in fact some things are in my guest room closet. I have collected a lot of jewelry over the years. My mother’s items are now mine and I have purchased several (lots of) 14kt pieces.

The room near my kitchen has been made into a storage room. It’s filled with floor to near ceiling cabinets so I can store extras, Christmas ornaments, and unused small appliances. I keep stocked up on kleenex, meds, toilet paper, and more.

Rick, my financial advisor does a great job for me. (Last year my investments gained over 20%.) He has things set up so I receive a generous monthly amount to spend as I see fit.

Now I ask you, why would I want more?

Life is good!
