Very true. The fact is that all the money is sort of pointless unless you have relationships -- people -- who matter enough to you that you enjoy spending some of that money on,

On the new job, but more importantly for getting a chance to take a well-deserved vacation!

Hey Michael,

Congrats on the new gig and enjoy the vacation.

But all the while as you are sitting there doing nothing -- remember -- time is money, so you are losing money on vacation! Ha.. just kidding.

I am with you on this one; relationship banking is such a simple theory.  I am a big fan of ALLY BANK.  They practice what they preach when it comes to speaking to a real person.  They embrace time to the point that they recognize its importance in one's day-to-day life.  When was the last time a company appreciated your schedule?

Congratulations Michael. I think you are right it is important to continue to build "relationships". I have heard of a concept called relationship banking where it is said that you can actually take good banking practices and use them for your human relationships. For example you deposit good deeds into peoples accounts (in theory) and then they give back to you with interest. When you get them to do things for you they become your creditors and you owe them a similar favor in return to settle the debt.

Congratulations Michael! I agree--relationships matter. Too bad so many people are willing to throw them away in the name of time, money and imagined slights and insults.
