Many people are born with a natural talent.  Some people are born with great coordination or are fast runners or have uncommon beauty.

I was born with the somewhat “under the surface” talent of being able to acquire money.  Not a lot of money, but just enough as not to have to worry about it.  I always have had plenty of money for the things that I wanted to do or own.  The talent has been with me from my earliest childhood days up to today.

 

But what is “plenty” of money?  I look back and can honestly say that I have had everything that I have ever wanted and / or needed.  I guess that is how you define “being rich”.  It has much to do with want.  I seek only a modest existence (Say what? Does that include owning and operating an airplane and traveling all over the world?). Hmmmm…

For an account of how it went for me refer to the book, “Exploits of a Common Adventurer,” by kent irwin.

ps Don’t think that this section of my book will compare to those hundreds of books out there about acquiring wealth.  My book is only about me and how I addressed the subject.  Keep in mind that I am only a “common” adventurer, not one of those ridiculously, big time, rich, talented or athletic people!
