Generosity Quote by Michaela Strachan

“Obviously a certain amount of money that makes you comfortable can make you happy, but the worst thing that could happen to me would be winning a huge amount of money. It would stress me out. You'd get so many begging letters. You'd have every single charity asking you to support them.” quote by Michaela Strachan
