Only Need 1 Million Dollars
The Price of Happiness

Today, some people think one million dollars isn't that much.
I think they are crazy, but they think I am, so I guess that's fair.
All I need is one million dollars.
Then I'd never have to worry about money again.
All the pain, stress, worries, and hard work would finally be over.
I could finally live, breath, enjoy my life.
Just one million dollars. That's all it would take.
100 k pays off all debts.
100 k gets me a permanent home and a nice car.
100 k allows me to shop for exactly what I want.
The remaining 700,000 would last me until my 70th birthday
at a yearly salary of $45,000 which is more than I've ever gotten in my 53 years of slavery.
Just one million dollars.
That's the price of happiness.
