When do you or do you believe that you can have too much money?.Personally I believe you have too much money if you can spend a million dollars a day for an estimated life span of 150 years and still not be broke as too much money and even then I am being way too conservative.I believe spending a million dollars a day is extravagant.Other instances of having too much money is when you own a 20 bedroom house when you have a familiy of four persons,buying your dog a kennel that is bigger than a lot or persons home, having a party for ten persons and still throw away 100 cases of food and alcohol.Having ten lear jets, five yatchs,6 cars and ten bikes when you only have a family of four person and each has their own set of vehicles.
THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY FIND A CHARITY AND GIVE AWAY A HALF OF WHAT YOU HAVE.

If I have enough money to live a comfortable life and have a few luxuries then I am happy. Everyone could do with a bit more,but to much money leads to waste and complacency about other people deserving help. I would give away a lot if i had more than needed.I would hope that rubbing others noses in it is so unkind. Some people use money as a power house and really it is just showing off.

I feel the same way. I just want a nice, comfortable life with a few luxuries. Yes, we could all use a bit more. Too much money just makes a person greedy. Instead of just buying more and more "stuff", they could just be grateful and maybe help out some who are less fortunate. There is no need to show off, and it just rubs people the wrong way, anyway.

I agree that there are people with money who like to spend it and not give it away, but there are a select few who would rather give it to a charity then spend it. Sometimes how many cars a person has is outrageous but I can understand if it's a collector's car and if it is never driven. It's just a dream that someone fulfilled, but if you have 10 cars that are new and all then your wasting your money.
Money makes people greedy. Have you ever heard of the poem, at the end of it it says "So let me end your suffering, give me all your money" It's a cute poem.... but well it goes to show you that greed with money never stops for some people.

Yes, some people just spend it because they can. Ten cars is crazy! Gosh! Yep, money just makes people greedy! *shakes head* I can't even imagine having that much money to begin with.
