My dad viewed large sums of money as a curse. He said you would constantly have to worry about the safety of your kids and live behind walls with security guards. He and Mom had everything paid for when they retired and a basic but still comfortable (for them) amount of money coming in. He had an old pick up truck and rambled around in the woods whenever he wanted. He did not have any bumper stickers on his truck, but the one about ‘God, Guns and Guts’ building this country pretty much summed up his beliefs.
yep
