I had money. But you know, the money I had, is now worth more as antiques than it was as money. Funny how these things work out. And even moreso, thieves sometimes melt down ancient coins for the metal value, which is like 1/10 of the value of the original coins, less if they are silver or electrum. So, really, it is not about the money. Money comes and goes, but wisdom and knowledge remain.
