Money

Today Ione had a soccer game in which I was coaching.  Afterwards we came home and my mother put the kids to bed and my father and I went out for beers.  We had beer at Green Flash Brewing and then went to Brewski for more beer and a bite to eat.

While we were drinking beer and having conversation we touched upon the subject of money.  We had been talking about "being rich" and what exactly that meant.  My father said that he felt my grandmother was one of the richest people he knew despite the fact she didn't have a lot of money because she wants for nothing and always has family around her.  We carried that conversation forward.  We talked about what we might do differently with more money.  In the case of my father this is a silly conversation as he knows what he is doing.  My part is what might be relevant to all of you Crossfitters.  If I had more money I would do EXACTLY NOTHING differently.  Yup.  I want to own a brewpub and a gym.  I am  a certified Crossfit trainer and I am in school to be a brewer.  If I had a lot of money I might open my own brewpub or Crossfit Gym.  The Crossfit Gym I could do because I have the training.  The brewpub I would still go to school to learn how to do it properly first.  This was a huge realization for me.  I would not do anything differently than I am doing right now if I had unlimited cash.  I might worry less, but I would do nothing differently.  I wouldn't open a pub or gym without the proper training to make sure I could do it successfully.  This made me realize something.  I have all that I need.  Sure, I could ask for more.  The fact is that I am doing now exactly what I would be doing with a couple million dollars.  Amazing.  This made me feel very rich.  So there is my tale for the day.
