People evolve over time and there is no guarantee that they would still be in love with their spouse even if they curtailed their keep up with the Jones's lifestyle. Atleast now they have a good material life. I remember a movie dialogue that goes "Affection is desirable but money is indespensible".<br /><br />Marriage should be seen like a exotic derivative where payouts/rewards that are sought by the parties involved may not be inline with what we expect. So people must realise that life is a zero sum reward game and make their decisions accordingly and be prepared for the consequences. Tht is the best anyone can hope for.<br /><br />SK.<br /><br />PS: Good blog.

We thought perhaps we were safe because he works in the finance industry, and rich people always need people to move their money around. But, alas, we were "re-structured". Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy out a lot of unhappiness. Anyways, hoping I'll get some portraits commissioned soon.<BR/><BR/>I also liked your post about being mistaken for younger. I would never, ever get mad at that!

Unfortunately, our priorities are often based on monetary considerations alone. To a certain extent, I guess one could safely say that there is also an obsession to do everything just for display rather than out of interest. <BR/><BR/>I don’t suppose anyone should denigrate the importance of money in our lives, but why should one let expenditure rise to meet the income? And what is the point in buying a top class sports car for your wife only to discover later that she has eloped with some ‘Conrad’ in the same car, while you were busy with your business in Singapore or Australia? Living has become expensive while lives have gone cheaper!<BR/> <BR/><BR/>I am an IT engineer by qualification, and I live and work in Cochin. My friends often ask me why I have chosen to stay back and work in Cochin while I can easily explore my opportunities abroad or outside Cochin, and I just smile back and tell them that their priorities doesn't coincide with mine. Its a different matter that many of them who had opted to take their flight abroad in sole pursuit of a better career ended up converting each day into an endurance test. People tend to chase more money either by choice or compulsion. If compulsion is the reason, there is nothing one can do except commiserate and if it is by choice, we could try and show them what they are missing in not extracting the maximum joy in life by spending more time with your dear ones as much as you can accord. <BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, why go for a lonely drive in a Ferrari when you can happily go for a drive in an Ambassador Classic with your family .. thereby vaccinating against the “biggest epidemic” your friend mentioned! <BR/><BR/>Enjoyed reading your post. And hope you’re having a great weekend :-)<BR/><BR/>-BaluBaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688467206232754158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-66007113766059353762008-03-30T00:37:00.000+05:302008-03-30T00:37:00.000+05:30sorry typed unfortunately there instead of fortuna...sorry typed unfortunately there instead of fortunately!:)broca's areahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978879187404578908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-91984090716528582462008-03-30T00:36:00.000+05:302008-03-30T00:36:00.000+05:30@ wrote unfortunately there instead of unfortunate...@ wrote unfortunately there instead of unfortunately!!:)..broca's areahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978879187404578908noreply@blogger.com
