Why do people think that money=happiness? IT'S JUST MONEY! There is so much more to life and love than paper with green ink on it. It's so trivial...I know everybody needs it to live, but I mean come on...money buys happiness? PLEASE! How come every time people are asked what they would wish for they always mention MONEY?!!? Is it just me, or is that utterly ridiculous. Of all the things, feelings, emotions, and experiences one can have in the world, they wish for something as common and trivial as money. That, to me, is so freakin' sad...

It doesn't buy happiness. It's nice to have. And I'm glad I have it. In some senses it does buy u SOME happiness, but not TRUE happiness. It can ease alot of arguements that spring up about bills n such, it can also help pay for special surprises to surprise your significant other with, it can allow you to have babies together, it can help raise those babies without worry as to education and providing for them. Keeping a roof over their head. Making sure they have enough to eat. Things like that.
I don't personally "grub" for money. I need it yes. but grub? na. I'd only wish for $ to provide for those I love. To make their life easier. If there were something else in place of $ say, love, as a bartering tool, which essentially $ is. Then I'd be more then happy to throw away the inked paper. But the reality is.. there isnt.
