Can you still enjoy life without any money in your pocket ?

Dear wildlittlefan, I am today at the age of 50 got well settled financially! But believe me I never worked for money and I never had greed for money. I never wanted to have a big amount of money , big fancy Cars etc. I work as a Senior resident Veterinarian on a Stud Farm, where we breed race horses and sell them for the purpose of racing! This job of mine involves lot of technical work along with a lot of physical work and since there are very few professionals in our field in or country I could have demanded a high salary from my Bosses. But believe me till the date I never demanded any high salary and the money it came to me automatically and I am happy about it. Though I am in the field of racing I never played any serious gambling till the date in attempt to make big money from it! I am not really interested in having a lot of money, I am happy so long my needs are getting fulfilled and my family is happy and i am saving bit for my future! But one thing is for sure that I know that life without money is not really easy thing to live! Though money is not every thing in life but life without money is very miserable and it is a sort of curse on one! One has to pass through various problems without money and it can even ruin every thing right from a happy family to delicate relationships. So I feel though money is not everything in one's life but the money should be given the respect it deserves and should be handled carefully and sensibly to make our lives happier! Thanks friend for initiating such a nice topic! I liked participating in it!

Yes! I think that it can be tough to make the change, if you're use to having money to go out and have fun and then all of a sudden you don't have the money to spend. This has kinda happened to my hubby and I. We're really trying to save money right now, so there isn't as much to go out and have fun with. At first it was really difficult because we were use to going out and spending money at places such as restaurants, stores, movie theaters, etc. It was our way of getting out and having a good time. Now we try to do things like stay in and watch movies we already own, read books together in bed, play board games, play a game on the Wii together, etc. There are a lot of things you can do that are fun and don't cost money. Sometimes the hardest part is just making that change!!

No dear i can not.ii need money for every stapes in my life.it is very important for life.if you do not have money then no one can give any value.it is make me sad.i need money for do enjoy and for everything.this is a place here no one can help you if you do not have money.if you have money then every one come to help you for any thing.i just hate that type of person. thanks a lot

Most of my adult life, I haven't had money in my pocket. I enjoy the Internet and sometimes there are heartwarming youtube videos. My life is also made happy when I see a child happy or at play.

i agree with you we can't enjoy without any money. But sometimes during those times when all the money in pocket are spent, I will just stay at home. Watch tv, surf, do household chores, etc. I only enjoy for a short time, what i really like is to go out of the house.

no..i cant enjoy life without money..who doesnt want to have a money in thier pocket? everyone wants money. money can buy everything even friends..for you to live and survive we really need money. theres no free in this world..

i don't know. if i had someone who back me in monetary i guess i will enjoy it but truly, i can't. cause with money i can share something like food or some material things even i know that i can share other

Of course we all need some money for the essencials. But that means one thing to some people and another to others. I need money for food, to pay my bills (that I try to keep as minimal as I can), to buy something to wear maybe once in a year. I almost don´t spend in clothes and my only "toy" is the computer with wich I also work. I like to read, I like to entertain my friends but I can cook cheaply and they always bring somthing. I don´t like to borrow so I love earning some money online for the extras.

Without absolutely any money at all I don't think that it would really be possible to enjoy life because of the fact that there is no way to meet the basic requirements for what people need. However, I think that is we are talking about a situation where the basic needs are met but there is no money left over then it is possible to enjoy life. The reason that I say that is because when you have food to eat and a roof over your head you will find that the simplest things bring you pleasure.

I read a book, and also watch a movie about this guy who give up his good life at home, and he simply abandon his luxury life to be a roamer. He walk his way to Alaska without any money. With the help of other people, like generous people, he made it there, and also die there too. So, someone might make this happen. For me, money do give me headache sometimes.

Yes, I defin9tely agree with you. Although money is not everything, it is a daily necessity in these modern times. No one can live easily without money. I don't want that much money, as long as I can buy the things that my family and I need and want too- that's fine with me..

If I don't need to afford my folks, I colud live very simple. I could stay away from the noisy city and do something I really want. Last year my father suffer the heart disease and had to stay at hospital for medical treatment. I spent a lot of money and totay I still worry about his recurrence. So I have to work hard to make money and provide the living guarantee for my folks. Life isn't easy and money is a necessity nowadays that you can hardly do anything without money.

It would be difficult, but i believe yes, we still can enjoy life even without money. Everything now means money, and people have forgotten that there are a lot of things that are free for us to enjoy. Peace and nature are something worth enjoying. Health is also.

yeah you can diffidently have fun without money. i mean cmon on-- if you know how to hve fun there isnt no need for money--,, i mean you need money for some things but not to hve funn...

We are living in a materialistic world, everything is now connected to money. Your emotions, relations and all concerns are connected to money. So its obvious that no one can feel happy or enjoy life without money. I have realized this thing very early in my life and i decided never to be a slave of this materialistic culture. I have no problem that i have money in my pocket or not. I enjoy every moment of my life. I like yous thoughts also and want to advice you keep your thoughts strong and you will live a happy life ahead.

I definitely think that you can. I don't have a lot of money, and I still am somewhat able to enjoy myself. It really isn't always easy to do so, but I do try and it is still somewhat possible.

Having money creates less stress in some ways, but much more in others. Many increase their standard of living when income increases, and thus, still have many bills. I often think about the days when we were broke, my husband and I worked a lot together, and for many years were inseparable. We struggled financially, but we had a lot of fun and seemed to enjoy life more. Now, we do not have much time to do anything, as work seems to be a constant dominant in our lives. I would be happy with less money, as long as I had my partner. When we were broke, we took a lot of walks, read to eachother, talked a lot,painted and other crafts, researched, became involved in politics, explored our local parks and library. Those are some of the things we did to enjoy life without (much) money.

Well its a sociaty build on exchange it will be good too , but its the same , or you work for money and have what u need , or you work in the garden to exchange food for your other needs . But well we are too far in to the future now . I'm not in to money too but they are a need and i cant do anything without them .

Of course you know that you need 'the stuff money can buy' to survive. (I haven't considered eating my money, and don't plan to.) Life is actually much better if you can get that stuff without giving money for it---living on land that your family has always owned, eating foods you grow there or -you receive from neighbors, wearing clothes you received as gifts, electricity by magnet-contraptions (I might sell on my profile or give you the link with a friend-request), etc.

Difficult questions and unpleasant to think about especially contemplate. All that we do need the money. We eat, need money, washing clothes need money, and others. Life without money is very difficult. Though the money we have just a little and sometimes not enough, we still can not get away from money. Money is something that is important. Many people say money makes people do evil, which it says is true, because money is what makes us able to live life. For worship we also need the money, we need to worship a neat clothes, and to have clothes, we have to buy clothes with money. So the conclusion humans can not live without money, except to live with at the mercy of others.
