Area Man Wishes He Could Be Rich

Sandusky, OH resident John Jacobs said today that he wishes he could be rich. "Don't get me wrong; I'm doing ok. I know that I'll never be a millionaire though, not on seventy grand a year."

Mr. Jacobs lamented the fact that he's not a great athlete, or a financial genius. "You know, I keep hearing that this generation is going to be the first that isn't as well off as our parents'. I believe it too; after the car payment, the boat payment, the mortgage... heck, I've got almost nothing left at the end of the month."


"I know I'll never be able to own a Lexus, which is why I lease one," explained Mr. Jacobs, reclining on his leather sofa in front of his 60" plasma television. "Oh well. Like the man says: 'Grant me the courage to accept the things I can not change', right?"
