Peking Duck vs Roast Turkey and the problem with mediocre cash



A friend asked me if I knew any get-rich-quick schemes. I held back. I didn't tell him about my specialized chess sets which will make me millions. Chinese food against American food. Bowls of rice marching against loaves of bread as pawns. Ketchup/soy sauce bottles as rooks. I should really quit my day job so I can concentrate more on this.



Does money buy freedom? Perhaps. Like many, I am stuck in the purgatory of the middle class- plenty enough money where you don't live paycheck to paycheck. But not enough to say no to a salary. Mainly a no because of an unwillingness to forgo middle class luxuries.
