Well since I don't have a Dollar to pay the bills with next time around I'm thinking it is money because I will probably get my net shut off and no more myLot or anything for awhile.

Well I've had to ask prior to this and I don't really want to keep bothering them. In and after December it won't be a problem but it is just bothersome to the family who has helped us already. I could pay them back then too, maybe I am just too shy to ask again...

It is a rather cynical song, indicative of the times then (pre-WWII) and maybe now, too.

I think you are a old romantic. I saw that about why was the Mylot logo green. But several had already answered it. I may go back. Am half way to pay out this month and so I really need to do some typing. I am answering ones I wouldn't normally answer. I need the money. Next month is my birthday and I need money. Geesh!

hi celtic I am indeed an old romantic., I think money all by itself without people we love around us could not make up for the love and caring we get from friends and family.sure we all need money to live on but that silly song was from the' play Caberet and the lyrics tell of utter greed no the way I feel about money as a w ay to keep ourselves afloat but a way to just stuff our houses with so much more than we ever need. I ' like to have enough to keep me going but am not one for oddles of money and fancy cars and jewelery and expensive homes.

Well, I don't think that money really does make the world go around. Instead, I know that money is really important in the world, but I really think that only love really does make the world go round. I do have to admit that I really like the day of the month that the logo on here does turn green and I was really, really happy that we got our payment this week because it is a tight week for us financially and I had to turn around right away and put that money into my gas tank.

Though I don't really have to have the money that I'm able to make online on a regular basis, I do think of it as my holiday/birthday/emergency fund. For example, I'm very thankful that I got paid by all three of my major sites this week because it turns out that I have to go and buy a new battery for my car this weekend. It just completely went caput on me today.

Here the mylot logo is not green but dark blue. Does its colour differ from place to place? I know a saying "Love makes the world go round." However there are not a few who believe that money makes the mare go.Don't get me wrong,I don't mean that Money is something I can do without . What I want to say is that something such as love and happiness,can't be bought with money.

Well I think a lot of it all stems from some of the spngs and such always talking about money and in this economy being the way it is people know they need money to survive. Yes, love is vitally important but not always the only thing.

hi tina no love is not the onlything in this economy we must have funds to feed clothe and house our bamilies. it is unbelievable how many middle class people were tosses ou t ofn the street when we were just because they and my son had lost their jobs and no jobs to b e found.thats why I landed here in Goldcrest. why I do depend a lot on the earnings I make on mylot. too.

I do not believe that either love or money could qualify as the all important factor of life. They both carry their own values and thus both are required for a truly happy life. Love is a great asset in life, but love in poverty is still going to be a fairly miserable existence. Similarly money serves a very useful purpose, but providing that you have sufficient money to live and eat well then love becomes more important than acquiring more money. in short, a little of both well outweighs a vast amount of one.

Hey Granny, As the greedy quotes said, "Money can buys Everything" Yes they are right but money cannot buy happiness In our recent days, we are all influence of money. Who are those who don't like to have money after their untiring duty over their heavy loads everyday. We need money for as to leave. If we don't have any of it, we will suffer.

hi julyteen yes we all have to have money to live on but in the song money money money makes the world go around they are telling of greed for fancy jewelry and cars and homes and just stuff. I disliked the play and I dislike the lyrics of the song too money cannot buy us love and happiness these come from our love of fellow man and our love of our self for self esteem.

I guess I am an old romantic too..lol..I would like to think that it is love, but at the same time, I am....well...seasoned enough to realize that money is one of those things that make people do crazy things, hurtful things, and work like borrowed mules just to have a little of it. A shame really, but there is so much that rides on having it. If only we all were as passionate about love.

hi jenintn yes we do have to have money and this crazy horrid economy here in California has people of all ages out of work and willing to take anything just so it pays. love has a hard row right now with things in such turmoil but somehow love sustains us while we figure out how to keep going and get jobs from some place.

Well, love makes the world of human beings go around. Money is what makes the world of the market go around...at least that's what I think. Since the two exist in the same plane of existence, sometimes people mismatch what kind of world is being made go around by what. It's good to see you're doing well, Hatley!

I agree. The best things in life are always free. But the finer things aren't. Money only buys us the finer things in order for us to enjoy life better. It does not give us love, happiness or the completeness we seek for. Wanting money for a certain purpose is okay but one should not be greedy to only think of oneself. Money, like any other material things, should be shared so that people can enjoy their lives as well. The same goes for love but on a grander scale since love is free and one of the best things in life.

I ll bet our neanderthal ancestors will beg to differ if you run this phrase by them, gug gug , and yet the world still spun around till now, cant help but the abba song just pop into my head.money money money,always sunny,in a rich mans world.but then pink floyd's point of view" money is a crime. money ,so they say,it is the root of all evil today. money or currency is like a stream of energy force in the air that flows that gets people off their butts and go do things to enable them to go with the flow.no money ,you starve but only in the world of humanity.there are other creatures sharing the world that have no value for it nor do they need it ,world still goes around for them. to me money makes people go greedy and indirectly causes the world to suffer the consequence of that greed.But in the real practical world ,a combination of having both is healthy.Of course ,i ll prefer to have more of the love than of the money. Feelgood melancholic dopamine rush anyday.

Hiya Hatley. Well, I didn't have enough money to qualify for payment this time so that little green logo got on my nerves actually, as I only missed out by a few cents (more annoying than if it were a couple of dollars, say). Having said that, I don't let it bother me too much as I just love being here regardless, especially when you're around. It does help that I've managed to do 2 tests on UserTesting today so I've earned $20 in one day, but I have to wait a week for that as well lol.

Ah well love is all around us, that is for sure.. but then someone was wise enough to make the world revolve and "move" because of money. Many people suffer for the lack of it and many people suffer for having it, for producing it.. and well a lot of people do have fun and enjoy their lives for having accumulated a lot of money as well. :D

jo chiyhosan you summed it up so nicel wow.I think its the sort of character we have whether we m ke money and use it' well and wisely or make a lot more money and be selfish and greedy and never really happy. money cannot hug you or kiss you or keep you warm at night, money will not say "i love you mommy." But again we must have moneyto keep our families ' afloat,.

Money makes the world go around. At least it does for me! I did the romance and love thing and that got me nowhere! Money makes my life go around! if I didn't have money I would not have anything!

You know Hatley, I have a friend and whenever I hear this issue or concern come up I think of him. Let me explain, he has tons of money. He can go anywhere and do anything he wants to do in life. And yet, he is so sad and miserable. Why? He is single and he has had a very hard time finding the right woman for him. He is so lonely all the time. He has said on multiple occassions that he would give up all of his money to have love in his life... This makes me realize, without my love I would care less about all of the money in the world. I would rather have my husband than money. Its true love won't pay the bills, but it sure does bring happiness and fulfillment.
