I have rich friends and am happy for them. One day standing in my friend's garage looking at his Bentley Super Sport, I asked myself what is it he has that I don't? It took me a while but I finally I figured it out.

Answer: I never owned a home with a swimming pool.

My point is: I may be poor and happy not jealous or envious.

You can see I'm slowly turning into a politician by exaggerating a little.
