The cost of happiness Tim and Steve were catching up at their 30th college reunion. After the initial frenzy of catching up settled down, Tim could tell that Steve was a bit down in the dumps, so he starts digging. Steve admits that aren't as perfect as they may look from the outside. Tim says, "But Steve, you are the model of success. You have taken two companies public and cashed out with so much money there is almost nothing you can't buy. Your kids turned out great, you widely respected in industry, you have status, money, hell - you have even kept your hair and have gotten better looking. What could possibly be wrong? Steve said, "Actually, money is the problem. The one thing that I really want, the one thing that would give me happiness is the one thing that I cannot afford." Tim said, "What could be so valuable to you yet so expensive that even you, one of the world's richest men, cannot afford it?" Steve sadly looked down at his drink and said, "A divorce."
