I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.

It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun.

The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.

The very nature of finance is that it cannot be profitable unless it is significantly leveraged... and as long as there is debt, there can be failure and contagion.
