But you forgot to tell him to give the money to ME not Richard. Richards
rich enough, I'm still strugglin', after all.

Other than that, I think you gave the /only/ possible way of reading what
Richard wrote. And quite objectively, to boot, I might add. Sure, some
might suggest things like moving to another country to escape political
persecution or maybe some other such silly thing as a growing, learning
experience, but your right. "Sell your house, quit your job, etc." Yep,
that's the only way to read "force yourself to grow".
