Coveting is one of the big Ten, Contenduhh!  In Norway, one can see on the internet what everyone else makes.  Like most welfare/semi-socialist states they joke, truthfully, they hate anyone who makes one more kroner than themselves.

I do not covet Trump's wealth or his complex immoral, decadent lifestyle and I care not one whit about the Scandinavian mindset. I learned long ago that the simple life and clean living are best, that one wife is enough,and that a kayak can be a lot more fun that a yacht.

One might take this two ways. Either, sour grapes, like Aesop's tale, or, why bother posting it, otherwise.

Or one might just sensibly  invoke Occam's razor and take it for what it is--a plain statement of simple facts.

I'm with you there on kayaks.

And "divorce boats" too.

 

But this 55' Chris Craft, small by yacht standards,  like I crewed on in the late 70's - early 80's can be fun as well.

Gee, what about all the Clinton's and other rich democrats "stuff"?

A simple question gets a simple answer. I don't envy them their prosperity either. I don't have the time or the inclination to waste on envying the millions who have more wealth than I do.  I have enough for my needs and a few extras and am quite content with that.  My true wealth is family and friends.
