''I just really thought about it and decided I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all,'' Moffitt told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Seattle. ''And I think it's really madness to risk your body, risk your well-being and risk your happiness for money. ''Everybody, they just don't get it and they think it's crazy. But I think what I was doing is crazy.''

''I've saved enough. It's not like I'm sitting here and I'm a millionaire,'' he said. ''That's what I kind of realized. I'm sitting here and I got to this point and I was like, what is the number that you need? How much do you really need? What do you want in life? And I decided that I don't really need to be a millionaire. ''I just want to be happy. And I find that people that have the least in life are sometimes the happiest. And I don't have the least in life. I have enough in life. And I won't sacrifice my health for that.''

''I would like to grow my own food for a while, lose a ton of weight, feel great. And spend time with people I love and be happy,'' he said.
