Money is a medium of exchange. *If you do nothing with it life becomes bland. *Buy a new boat $40,000.00 and you'll still be putting money into it. *I'm sure we all have had fun and many memories for the dollars spent. *If you did not have it to spend I'm sure you wouldn't. *Bill Mc * ;D

If you did not have it to spend I'm sure you wouldn't. Bill Mc
