21、ne who comes up to me and says, Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to lifethis is! At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. Thats when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks

22、 like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are yes, I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. Thats when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and fri
