Conversation 067 - Money

Todd: James!
James: Yo!
Todd: If you had a million dollars...
James: Mm-hm
Todd: if you won the lottery...
James: Yes.
Todd: What would you do?
James: I would buy a small island, build a house there, and invest the rest of my money so that I would never have to work again.
Todd: OK, So are you talking a tropical island, or...
James: A tropical island, yeah, or maybe I would give it all to charity and have a bridge named after me.
Todd: That's two different things there. How about the island? Would you want to be alone, on a secluded island or?
James: No, I would want all of my friends to come and visit me often.
Todd: OK. Nice. So how would you pass the time on this island?
James: I would read books. I would study. I would go swimming, go fishing, and play with my dog.
Todd: OK. Do think money can make people happy, can buy happiness?
James: No, but it can sometimes make it easier. It depends on what you buy.
