Would money make you enjoy life more or actually make you miss out on the finer things in life? I feel that having money can definately make life more enjoyable. I only fear becoming corrupted along the way. But what is your opinion on this?

Yes to a degree of course that being said money doesn't compensate the internal values that is withhold on earth - it only brings happiness where those who yearn for things outside themselves things where if translated in intangible form would mean empty promises, and lack of representing. But this world is encouraging the money system-concept I guess the most it would do is expand my resources , because the surefire aim in my life is inner peace, if this system is going to remain throughout the years then so be it, it would be the most realistic way to attain happiness = to survive

Hehe, There isn't a lot of people who would read that abovementioned paragraph without choking on some air. It is a interesting style you have. Dont worry I understand every word of it. I had a friend in school who had the same style. Brings back memories. Anyway, Back to earth. I believe a lot of the pain and suffering in this world is because of Spiritual people rejecting money and saying it is evil. But If I made $1 million dollars can at the rate of $2 per bread can feed a lot of hungry people in this world. Or buy a car. So its over 500000 people feeded for a day or a car. And the saddness is that 1 guy has 5 cars and one is totaled by his drunken son. So he buys another one. Selfishness and blameshifting is the two reasons that this world is in so much agony.

It's nice to have so much money and be a millionaire. I will be able to buy a lot of expensive things and foods. But, it will never guarantee me that i can be as happy as i am now with my husband and daughter , living simply. My husband might not be always with us anymore, because he will have lots of money to spend with his friends and could even get mistresses. I might not be always at home because i will always be with my friends travelling around the world. To top it all, i will worry that we will be kidnapped. So, i guess, just enough money will make me enjoy life already.

Its settled then. Im gna be a milionare then... three years will be enough if I do it legally, I love a challenge.

It depends on the person. If I had money, I'd spend it usefully. I'd give a lot to my family, who are struggling. I'd advance my artistic career, as writer, musician, actor. I'd give more to the needy. I'd buy myself some new clothes. Some good transport. But it would all be useful; I'd be frugal: I'd respect the money. No way would I waste it on lots of cars or motorbikes, or a private jet, or a massive holiday for everyone I know! Money goes so quickly. It can be a precious gift, if spent wisely. And of course, I'd save some. Being a millionaire can make you enjoy life more: with some wisdom and caution exercised.

Yes. That is completely true. You need to handle money with wisdom or it will fail. But from past experiences I know that money corrupts even the greatest of men.

I think if i was a millionaire my life would be better, to say it would get rid of all the depression is a lie it wouldnt. Somethings money cant help with, But it would most deffintley help, Since i could buy more stuff go travel more keep my self more occupied i would be bored a lot less if i was a millionaire. At least thats what i think.
