RE: The "it's only money" post...
It's only money... I'll make more tomorrow.
I work hard, and I'm sure as hell gonna do my best to enjoy myself for as long as I'm around. Altho I don't go nuts and spend what I can't afford
But if it comes down to spending for something I reallywant (but don't need)or helping out a family member, its the family member that gets what they need. Sometimes I wish I was more selfish, but I guess thats just not in my nature

So i was reading another post and I came to a great conclusion. Sometimes I put more emphasis or importance on things than I should. I realize that money is only that and I cannot take it with me when I am dead. Who knows if I will be alive tomorrow or not. I might as well enjoy myself. Who else feels this way, and why?

It's when people aren't at peace with themselves and try to buy themselves happiness by spending more money and surrounding themselves with "more stuff" that life becomes messy and complicated.

Spoken like a bunch of poor people... no offense.
If money cannot buy happiness? Try frowning on a jet ski. Or maybeyour Fatboy or SG?
How about going through a welfare Christmas? I have. Ramen noodles are a great Christmas dinner.
Money can buy happiness folks... it just won't relieve you of your internal "Baggage" or whatever is making you unhappy.
That stuff stays with you until you deal with it. But Money can put a smile on your face every now and then...

RE: The "it's only money" post...
The simple fact of the matter is that we live in a society whereby having money is a necessity. The more you have, the more options you have at your disposal. While I do agree that acquiring the trappings of wealth doesn't necessarily make one happier. I also feel that having substantial financial means relieves one of the burdens and stresses sooften times associated with not having enough bank.
I don't know of any one individual who could not benefit from having more money in the bank, zero mortgage, no indebtedness, and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, there are so many here on the forums who would actually trash talk those who have worked so hard to accomplish (and sustain) these very things in life. I make no apologies to anyone for the goals I have set and accomplished in my life;either academic, professionalor personal. At 43, I'm able to pretty much do as I please; in the financial sense. Such a luxury (as I'm sure many on here would agree) did not come easy. A little bit of luck coupled with a helluva' lot of hard work made such plausible.
Do I spend like there's no tomorrow? Not even close. But in comparison, I probably spend like a lot of people's tomorrow's in many instances. And that ain't nothing to shake a stick at.

I sure as hell wouldn't mind having more money. But it is not what makes me happy. But lack of money can sure stress you out and make you miserable. I don't want to be rich.....I work with rich people and they have problems I never ever want to have. But like I said....haveing a bit more than I do now....and having some savings for a rainy day sure would be nice. We're working on it. May take some time to get there but we are trying.
