I honestly dont understand why so many people think money is everything. Money can only take you but so far and after its gone then what are you going to do? I mean if you think about it money will buy what you need but money dont buy happiness,Love,or even friends for that matter. Id rather be happy with who i am and what ive got than have loads of money because one day that money will run out and you'll be at the end of the tunnel trying to figure out what your going to do next. So why does everyone think money is everything?

Money,something we all need to live,but something we should not make our God,its a necessary evil.I know many people with a lot of money,and often their life hasnt got the wquality that mine has,I live on a budget yet we eat well ,we manage to run a car,we dont really want for anything too much.Yes we buy things from the thrift shops,and we grow our own vegetables,we dont spend extravagantly.We live within our means,and thats the very best way to do it,if you have an endless pot of money the challenge is taken out of life,everything is within your reach,there is nothing tthat you cannot buy,what happens?you bcome restless,you become bored,there is nothing to aim for,the few dollars that you struggle to earn on the internet mean nothing,this takes all of the pleasure out of life,as all the things I have had to struggle for are the things that I have enjoyed in life the most.I wouldnt want to endlessly be on holiday,or globe trotting,I love my home comforts,my chair,my computer,my surroundings,this all sounds a little passionate,but its the way I feel about life in general.

I agree with yuo on everything you said. Im pretty much the same way. I was rasied and tought that if you wanted something yuo work for it and thats how you got things for yourself. I dont get hand outs or anything served to me on a silver pladder i work hard for what i have and thats the way i do like it. It keeps me busy and keeps it interesting for me to do what i do everyday. And i enjoy it.

Hi, of course money is not the most important thing in life but it IS important, be realistic, you can live without love but you can't live without money .. you won't eat love and drink happiness .. Everyone these day is on search for money .. not because they are greedy but to improve their standard of living or even get the smallest piece of bread for dinner. I think 90 % of Mylotter are after the money, although it's a tiny amount but why not!!
I hope I didn't bother you with my opinion but I'm just trying to analyze the materialistic world we're living in these days.
Have a great day!

Oh no im not mad its an opinion nothing wrong with that. Everyone has an opinion on everything. I jsut think some people take having money way to far to the point the pick on others that dont have the money to afford all this and that. Im not on myspace for the money i just like talking and giving my opinions its fun and again its in the process for the opinion i give someone may just help them in the long run. Money isnt everything to me its jsut paper it comes and gos so its no big deal to me.

I agree with what you wrote. I would prefer to be poor and happy than be rich and selfish. I do not think money is the world but I do believe a certain amount is neccesary to live comfortably to satisfy our everday expenses on neccesities. My desire is not to die on top of money just to be successful and live to where I am not stressing over money issues.

I agree with you very much so. Some people rather die alone and being selfish with what they have than to be poor and happy with what they do have in life and not take it for granted.
