My best friend

[freeringo]

I have a friend named Bill ( Brazil ) who has lived 30 years in Dixie Valley
where my cabin is. He makes less than $4000 a year in wood cutting and
odd jobs and watching peoples cabins in the winter. I gladly pay him $100 a year to watch our cabin.
Well he said something to me this weekend that I want to share with all of you.

"I don't need much money, I just need good friends like you"

I thought how true that was on so many levels.
Our friendships here on NDN are so much more valuable than chips or money.
Money comes and goes, but our friendships will always grow.

This is very true for sure.
People here are very friendly, this is true...
And what is to have a lot of money, and have no friends or love.. must be a very sad life...
Right now I dont have many friends. I need to make some since Im new here in town... I hope someday I can have lots of friends and lots of money... U are a great person ringo...

I am greatly honored to call you friend.

Ringo that almost made me cry. What your friend "Bill" said was very touching! I agree with him. As I can see that you do as well.
Although we need money to survive could you imagine a world without friends.
True friends are hard to come by but when you do find one they are priceless. You can't put a price on something like that. But you can cherish it forever.
Thank you for sharing this. It has been said for years that love covers a multitude of sins.

Yes friends are priceless, without em life wold be very lonely lonely and quite. How does that guy manage to live on 4k a year? Gosh that has gotta be hard, but I wish him the best and sounds like you have a friend for life there.

in the world of FRIENDSHIP....there is no such thing as politically correctness for your bond is too truthfully personal for that.

It is recognizing that you two or the 517 of you have more likenesses than differences and that the differences you have are menial.

If friendship had anything to do with wealth ..... man i wish i was a Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, or Carlos Slim Helu', or Lawrence Ellison, or Ingvar Kamprad
for the wealth of friendship is all I crave.

if we spent more time investing in friendship and less time convincing our friends into investing this world would have no need for government bail outs.
