What would you NEVER give up for a million dollars?

Heaven your question was very clear, I guess some people jump in because they immediately think what's most important to them. Their responses are heartwarming but off topic. I would have said my Mum's ring that I had except it was stolen from me. The next things I own which are irreplacable are my photo albums. Nothing fancy but a whole lot of memories come to mind when I look through them.

Hi, I have several things that I would not give up for any amount of money. The first thing is my great grandma's ring, i never met her but my mother gave it to me and it was one of her most treasured things so it sits in my safe and will never be parted with for any amount of money. The second things i wouldn't part with are the photo's of my children and my family members, they are all too precious to me. The third thing is the cushion i use to sleep on at night instead of a pillow, i have had it since my teens, it stinks and is covered in stains but i cannot sleep without it (even though i'm 27), its sad but its true, i would not part with it (or i'd be an insomniac for life LOL) Good discussion, i hope you get lots of good replies Lisa

Thank you for your response. I think you really understood what I was getting at - so thank you. I never said what my item would be and I should have to give people an example, I guess :) I wouldn't trade a million dollars for my mother's wedding ring set. After she passed away, I found out that my father did not have them buried with her - she had stated that she wanted them passed on to either myself or my sister. Her mother's ring was buried with her though, per my request. Anyhow, I ended up getting her wedding set and even though it's too small for my fingers and the bands have been worn thin on the underside from her wearing it for 35 years - it means the world to me and if someone offered me a million dollars for it, I'd tell them "no thank you". Thanks for sharing your story about the pocket pc - I wish you much luck in your writing career!

Thanks... for raising this topic. It's a tough one especially if you haven't had attached a meaning to your material possession. Most people might dismiss themselves as materialistic if they get to answer this post accordingly. Maybe it's just a matter of seeing the intrinsic value of those material objects. :) I wish that you may keep your mother's ring for a lifetime and pass it on to the next generation perhaps.

I wouldn't give up my child for money either :) I was looking more for a material item and not a person - something you own that means so much that you wouldn't even trade it for a million dollars. Soooo?? :)
