There are no more challenges in life. You don't have to work. You don't have to keep house. [[Idle Rich|You don't, in fact, have to]] ''[[Idle Rich|do]]'' [[Idle Rich|anything.]]

My desires are as dry as an apple core,<br />
And my only emotion is greed.<br />
Which is why, though I've nothing to spend it for,<br />
I have swindled this gold from Candidi-di-di-di-dide,<br />
Poor Candide! }}
