Nor will I or any other blogger receive one. And if you think about it - why would he? He did not strike me as someone willing to give an Internet career a chance ;) Because he could have started a blog and Twittered about it, next to send several press releases out. So we can guess, and continue guessing in regards to him until the story wears out.

Well, hopefully I can figure out how to get this trackback issue resolved soon; otherwise, I'll be spending more time contacting people to let them know about where I'm using their posts than actually reading or writing.

There still seem to be some kinks to work out of the system though, so I'll have to improve on that. I think whether you think of money as a source of freedom or a trap depends on whether you have a goal you're working towards. If you are saving for retirement or another big goal, getting more money helps you move toward that goal and makes you happier. If you're working just to work and accumulating money (and stress) at the same time, I can see how it might feel like a trap. I can't imagine ever deciding to give away nearly $5 million dollars though; that just seems wrong... Hey, FS, nice to see that someone is getting my trackbacks, at least.

Keep up the good work. It must be your high GPA and blockbuster SAT scores at work! I have to admit, the more money that's saved in my Freedom Fund, the happier I am. So, there is a correlation.
