Mini, I was talking to a friend recently about "luck."She is doing significantly better financially than anyone else in her family and they tell her she’s “lucky”–which makes her furious, since she spent years working and putting herself through school while her brother spent the same time drinking. She decided against having children with a man she later divorced because they couldn’t afford it. In other words, she looks “lucky” now but it’s the result of a lifetime of choices. Her feeling is that there is no such thing as luck.
