BITOGers over 60 happier than Bill Gates?

[Number_35]

I spend an above average amount of time in geographic locations where older men with money spend/date/marry woman--- the woman almost always much younger and fitter than the man. So, the view from my foxhole may give me an alternate perspective/ reality than others may have. I get to watch these couples every day-- observations strongly suggest their relationships are more often than not based on money and not on mutual respect or love.

Do I truly believe in my heart the majority of married BITOGers over 60 deep down inside are living a more rewarding life than Bill Gates. Yes, absolutely.

Bill Gates more likely than not blew it while he was married. Marriage is work, it is often not easy. Now Bill Gates, when he meets someone, more likely than not internally has to ask himself, “Will I be loved?”, or is it just my resources.

For all the troubles in my life, I would not want to trade places with Bill Gates. (Not that he's asked me to.)

You never know…..

Ranks right up there with what actress is pregnant, which politician is getting divorced, and who Taylor Swift it bopping this week. I'm aware it is going on, but only by accidently seeing or hearing while flipping through.

Alone - 66,000 SF and I like my “houses” …
No wonder he got off a certain subject recently …
This and how much discharge AI is going to create …

I would also like to add how does anybody know he’s unhappy with the divorce. Sometimes that’s for the best and the situation is amicable for both parties. I know I was extremely happy to get divorce from my ex. I wish I could get that kind of happiness on tap.

Google it. Gates has called his divorce his greatest regret and biggest mistake.

With his money he can buy himself happiness anytime he wants.

I think the rumor is that is why Melinda left.

But it can buy me a boat
It could buy me a truck to pull it"

During my boss’s first trip to Asia - we were walking through this fancy hotel’s massive lobby - he stops - looks around:
“There must be a father/daughter dance tonight”

I was flipping news channels today, and they were running some story about the eternal drama with Prince Harry and the royal family. I wish I would have never heard of any of the "royals", Harry, Meghan Markle, also Taylor Swift, any Kardashian, Kanye West, Lindsey Lohan, Diddy, Bill Gates, Robert deNiro, Lady GaGa, Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg, whoever.

I have about zero use for celebrities. I actually pity them. Most have wrecked lives, regardless of their money. I would not trade my life for any of theirs in any way. I am blessed!

Man, I won't be able to sleep tonight, wondering if he's happy or not.

 

[Lubener]

I never bought into the phrase that money can buy you happiness....

1. You posted a meme

2. You commented on a bunch of unrelated stuff

3. You tried to mix it all together and come up with some specific insight on a person who you really know nothing about, i.e. other people you observe (but don’t personally know) do dumb stuff so Bill Gates must do dumb stuff too…

What are you even doing man?!?

 

[Slick3914]

I’ll bet he uses Supertech

 

[4wd]

well, he has several private jets, a chopper, sea plane, super yacht and the list goes on …
Not exactly the setting for Home Alone IV …
(See my comment about the subject he dropped) …

There is a difference between alone and lonely.

If you follow how many places he travels to attending events - he’s going to want some time to himself as well …
