I have made so much money for others. By helping start MSoft. By writing PET BASIC. By keeping Paul + Bill together. I'm not unhappy with my lot. I am satisfied. But I'm not excited!

Stock always has been a bit of an interest. And I think I may need something to do if MSoft gets into trouble. So its good to learn other things.

One good reason to have made money is that I may have thought strongly against Seattle if I had. Like staying here to play with stocks. But they just aren't me. Nevertheless, I'm tired of not being excited about life and having my work benefit others more than it does me.

It's a good reason not for me to have money if I don't have anything to do with it. If I did then maybe I'd get more of it. But I don't so why should I have control.

This year I have made up a budget. I will try to stick with it and not do anything too extravagant.

Not having money from the things I've worked on makes me feel like a loser. You need to gain.
