A lot of people around me were really staggeringly rich, which I never have been. I walked in between the raindrops of real money, but I've stayed happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was growing up, we never had much money. My parents were divorced young, but I was always surrounded by loving individuals. They couldn't give us riches, but they gave us their stories, their hearts, and their time.
I never had ambitions to see how rich I could get. I got a lot of contemporaries that that's their ambition, and I don't know very many of them that are happy.
When I was growing up, I thought I'd be a lot happier if I was famous and successful and if I had money.
As a child, as far as I was concerned, my dad had an amazing job, and we had all the money we needed. My life was so fun and carefree that I didn't realize at all that we weren't rich - until I met someone rich. Still, I've never met a rich kid who grew up as happy as I did.
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
It's not about being rich, but everyone back home has a pool. And I was a total water baby. My mom couldn't get me out - she'd put my dinner plate at the end of the pool, and I'd eat my meals in the water.
I felt rich when I was 20 years old and my wife was paying my bills. Just being in a band, I've always felt blessed.
My world has been quite rich in my life, and I've been happy. I've no regrets.
I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich.
