For most of my life I've been a daydreamer.
As a FIREee I have plenty of time for daydreaming.
“Daydream” by the Lovin' Spoonful always reminds me of what it's like to be FIREd.
"Daydream" Lyrics
What a day for a day dream
What a day for a day dreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a day dream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn
I've been havin' a sweet dream
I've been dreamin' since I woke up today
It's starring me in my sweet dream
Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way
And even if time is passin' me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad
And you can be sure that if you're feelin right
A day dream will last a long time into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years
What a day for a day dream
Custom made for a day dreamin' boy
And now I'm lost in a day dream
Dreamin' about my bundle of joy
"Money, Money, Money" is about a woman who longs for attachment to a rich man.
Putting her wish aside, I think the bolded lyrics are apropos of the thoughts and aspirations of most Mu$tachian$ not yet FIREd.
"Money, Money Money" by ABBA
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad?
And still, there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams, I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
A-ha, ah
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
A man like that is hard to find, but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad?
And if he happens to be free, I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
A-ha, ah
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
[Outro]
It's a rich man's world
