HOw can one even think of that. Man, family is not just a group of people ,its life 4 me. Money can be made in many ways but a good family cannot be formed in days..........

No human being is quantifiable in monetary terms.To have relatives is not something one had a decision to have.we receive them as blessings from God and also no gift from God is equal to a certain amount of money and no any amount of money can replace the warmth and comfort we receive from our families.Just remember those hard days when you face unpleasant conditions at school or at work place but your familiy encouraged you to keep on going.Would millions of money do that?.Everytime we go out there are unpleasants awaiting us but fortunately we have mothers ,fathers ,husbands and wives and everybody else to go back to for comfort and in most cases they really do give it and by xchanging them for money we will miss what nothing can replace.For this reason I would keep and love my family in whatever economic backgrounds they might be in as long as we are happy is all that i need from what I call a family.

Never. Your Family is a gift from GOD. If you reject them for anything(whatsoever), you are rejecting the gifts and blessings of GOD.

I guess it's ever scince I had my son. I am just a scared mommy watching the world decline and wondering if my son will ever have a chance to be truly happy. You know, not worrying about his daddy dieing in Iraq. Or people killing each other over road rage.

No amount of money could take me away from my family. They are irreplaceable.

I would never leave my family if someone offered me a BILLION dollars. I'm very close to my family. They are my rocks. not even my immediate family, but also my extended family.

No, I wouldn't leave my family if someone offered me a million dollars, not even for two trillion! Doing that would mean that I love money more than my family. My family has been there through all the good, and the bad. I value them more than anything that money could ever buy.

I would never leave my family for any amount of money. I could never be happy with out them. I would rather be poor and living off the streets and still have my family than living extremely rich and in some fancy house with out my family. I would have an emptyness inside of me everyday of my life.

No, this is simply impossible. Around 2years ago my husband met with a major road accident and was in bed for around 4 months. I was always there by his side along with my children. this has further strengthed our ties and none of us can ever think of departing for the sake of money.

At the moment, I have almost no money in my bank account. And a million dollars seems like a lot of money. But it's nothing. Really... a million dollars is nothing.
I read a story recently about a man in Viet Nam who became very very rich, but then lost all his money during the war. He rebuilt his fortune very quickly in another way. But the government arrested his family and threatened to execute them all unless he handed over all of his land and real estate holdings. He did not hesitate for a moment. He later managed to make his way to the U.S. where he and his wife worked in his cousin's bakery. They lived in the back and ate donuts for a couple of years until they had enough to put a down-payment on the bakery. They continued to live in the back of the bakery for a few more years, eating probably a bit better than donuts (though eating donuts would be my ideal way to save money)until they had enough saved to pay off the bakery. They now are millionaires many times over and have an incredible bakery (I'm told... I'd love to go there... just to be in these peooples' presence)
A million dollars is nothing. And you can get it even if you don't leave your family. If you have to leave your family, do it for other reasons.
