Um, I guess I should quantify that a life like the wealthy barber isn't a model of life I really see myself fitting into. It doesn't really follow my particular career path, or what I'm looking for in life. I also am under the assumption that things that I see myself working towards, I will accomplish, and those particular jobs/prospects that have held over the past decade will continue.

(Somewhat thinking out loud here) I guess living in California and seeing the disparity grow between the upper class lifestyle and lower class lifestyle really made me realize that I am partially driven to the fancy things in life, i.e. the limo ride into San Fran for a expensive dinner and a bottle of whine, and so on. I don't really see that being the big carrot at the end of the stick (which for me, is usually a career) but that sort of lifestyle (which isn't uncommon in a young professional down in California) is something I do enjoy.
