Have money, buy stuff. Get tired of stuff, sell for money.

You know, that's pretty good advice. My accountant would be all kinds of proud.

Money isn't all that useful. Crash the stock market and money becomes worthless. Money also becomes worthless if you have too much.

Goods also lose value over time, but they have uses. Though some do gain value.

See, you should have been the one to write that book. The one with the red cover. The Secret? Your insight's pretty valuable, you could have sold millions of copies.

Never heard of it. Was it good?

I'd rather have a million books. Not all of the same book, but different books.

I have no idea. I never got around to reading it.

Yeah, actually, books wouldn't be so bad. I'd probably lean towards e-books, but there's something about flipping over a paper page.

You're in a philosophical conundrum!

Exactly.

Why not choose money and stuff? I mean...obviously not all of the stuff.

But what if, theoretically, I wanted all the stuff?

Then theoretically you should give up all of the money.

I think theoretically that is pretty straight-forward and good advice.

In a purely theoretical sense, I'm full of good advice.

Stuff. Forever.

I'm leaning towards that too, but --

Money. It gets you places.

Nowhere you can't get with intelligence and tenacity.

[ okay, she couldn't really dispute that. ]

Excellent. Now I can finally put my mind at ease when I fill up my bathtub with hundreds and sleep in it.

Hardly! Why not do both?
