You already have it all, the sword is just icing.

I have it all too. I feel very fortunate ... except when my kids are screaming.

Things are things. Happiness based on things is a deception. Happiness is a state of mind, not a set of circumstances.

True.

On the other hand, there are certain things that give me a warm feeling. I have a 30-ounce Estwing framing hammer that does that for me. It's probably 2 ounces heavier than it needs to be, but that thing really delivers a blow. I also have an International Harvester Model 686 tractor that makes me happy.

Things or money which buys things may or may not give you happiness, it depends on what your mindset is before we can say. HOWEVER, money does give a damn good facsimile of happiness and in this day and age, I'll settle for a facsimile.

Hatterasguy dynasty forge is a very good one to check out as well or I have heard a few good things about Zanshinironworks or Zheng wu forge. Or you can go to the Midwest token Kai if you want to check out real antique swords you would be amazed what 1,000 or 2,000 can get you there.

I like old stuff, a nice actual antique would be nice. I just don't know enough about them to know if I'm getting a good deal or not.

True, but if I were sitting on the deck of my Swan 651 in St. Thomas, drinking a Long Island ice tea I would be in a pretty good state of mind. Your right money cannot buy happiness...but it doesn't hurt.

Yeah, I mean I would be a bit more happy than I currantly am if I had $100m in the bank. I certianly wouldn't be sad if my account balance was in the 9 figure range.

It can also buy one hell of a girl friend! Boom boom, long time, real good!
