How important is money in your life?

I dont know about everybody else but I do agree money isnt everything but you are miserable without it and bills arent payed. We are a family of 5 and barley making it and Im finding it hard to survive this way where as my girlfriend trys to make the best out of everything.

well ...money is important to me but not directly...is important to make money to make my mom proud and my girlfriend happy...then me

Considering the fact that I am doing just that right at the moment, I can tell you that it isn't easy. I am constantly arguing with my husband over what bill to pay next. Do we spend money on food? What next. He isn't working, I am on unemployment. If something doesn't give soon I don't know what we will do. Forget about store bought Christmas gifts this year. If it weren't for the fact that I am a collector of things and I know how to sniff out a bargain, there wouldn't be gifts at all! We are at the point where I will have to go to different charities and grovel for money. I hate doing it.
