"It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating."

                                        Oscar Wilde

The Frustrated CFO's comment:

Oh boy, we, the conformists of the financial profession, live our entire lives like that.  Is it really better?  I don't know.  I think the great man wrote it in Paris, abandoned by everyone and destitute, but would he swap his life with someone rich and dull?  There is a Russian saying that it's better to be healthy and rich than sick and poor.  I think that's a closer reflection of our inner desires: have a steady income (and I don't necessarily mean being super-rich) and be fascinating at the same time.
