OK, give me land. I want half of Wyoming. Is it for sale?

It all depends on the price of gin...

From what I've heard, the US administration would pay you to take all of it off its hands.
Fair comment.

I think I could live contentedly enough with a £2m fortune. More would obviously be desirable, although I'll be lucky to hit £1m at this rate.

Money isn't very important to me. I wouldn't throw away a million dollars if it was given to me but I'm not going to spend my life chasing it either. I think $50,000 a year is sufficient.

Too much is never enough.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Enough is when you don't have to worry about money and you can afford to spend a bit now and again without worrying too much.

$50,000? A funking kings ransom!! That's like winning the lottery every week.

I'd have no problem at all finishing up with a couple of million, provided I started off with a billion.

Maybe now, but what about in two year's time when Trump has broken the US economy, and the dollar ain't worth shit?

Yes. In Canada things are looking good with Trump at the helm, and especially out here in the west where we do so much mining for coal.

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
