I would like to be wealthy enough to be able to make a difference in what I am able to give to charity. Imagine what the Women’s Resource Center in Downtown Las Vegas could do with the amounts of money I would love to be able to give them!

Similar to a “Hagar the Horrible” strip from many years ago:.“Would you rather have wealth, power, or happiness?”.“I’d rather have power. Then I could get the money. That would make me happy.”
