We don't need to increase our goods as nearly as much as we need to scale down our wants.  Not wanting something is as good as possessing it.

-- Donald Horban

This made me feel rich.

Here are other things I don't want, and which, according to Mr. Horban, I therefore as good as possess: a yacht, a sports car, a fur coat, a vacation home, a Louis Vuitton purse, Prada shoes, a villa in Tuscany, a complete set of fine china, and a time-share.  I could go on.  But I think I am sufficiently amused and complacent!
