I know I'm in the exceptional position of having money but I didn't have it for many decades.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not ridiculously wealthy, but I don't squander money either.
Having money is better than not having it, but I've been poor, and I've survived.
The great thing about having money is that you can actually just get on with your life and not have to think about paying the bills or crouch over 'The Wall Street Journal' or the 'Financial Times' and look at the stock figures and things like that. That bores me rigid.
I look back on it, yeah, I'm in a much worse financial position than I was eight years ago. I'm going to have to go out at age 62 and kind of readdress some of that.
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life unless I buy something.
My career has mostly been jobs I love or cases where I needed money.
I've never had money before in my life. Ever. Never, ever.
I started out from a pretty modest background, so I always had a pretty good sense of money. I always had to work for my money, save my own money, I always bought my own stuff with my money... trying not to waste money unnecessarily.
I've been so fortunate because I never really had ups and downs as far as my career. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I've been sold out all over the world.
Every year of my working life, I have been fortunate enough to earn more money than I have spent.
