Life's Too Short to Fret

A short quiz to add perspective to life's money problems
Money creates stress for many of us. Yet having money isn't a guarantee that you will have a stress-free life.
Here are some of the men who were most admired for their accomplishments during the year of 1923. They were predicted to live the rest of their lives in luxury and happiness. While this was not the case, they did have a secret many of us would love to know:? how to make lots of money.
Now, many years later, do you know what became of them?
Most likely to succeed?
In 1923, do you know who was ...
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. Greatest wheat speculator?
4. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?
The rest of the story
The man who was president of the steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane.
Arthur Cooger, the greatest wheat speculator, died penniless.
The president of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.
The president of the Bank of International Settlement shot himself.
The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivermore, died of suicide.
When you are tempted to start worrying about money, remember these men who found the secret of wealth, but couldn't grasp happiness.
In 1923 Gene Sarazan won the U.S. Open and PGA Tournaments.
Sixty years later he was still playing golf and debt free.
Relax and take some time out to do something pleasurable - like play golf.
