Best Posts in Thread: Money isn't everything?

If you have enough money to not worry about paying your debts and feeding your family then you can concentrate on whatever makes you happy... therefore money does buy happiness

 

Yes I believe this is due to the old Hammer horror movies that use to be shown here a lot and at the end it would say filmed in Pinewood Studios, England.

When my filipina ex-wife first slept with me... I found out that she stayed awake the first 2 nights as she (older generation) thought as I was from England I must be a vampire! After 2 nights of my not sticking my fangs into her neck she finally accepted I wasn't

 

John Boy asks a very provocative question. Like many of you, I have been up and down the money ladder a few times. This definitely is viewed differently individually. My personal view, and it takes updating, is you create a plus-minus balance sheet. Things that make you happy on one side (having money may be one) and things that make you unhappy on the other (health problems may be one) on the minus ledger. Don’t waste time putting a weight factor, doesn’t matter. If you total more on the plus side, be happy, it might change.

 

Money isn't everything?
No JB it may not be to you me or any other members here but it is a very close thing to whatever is everything to those that have little such are my thoughts my Friend

 

remember the Indian parable where a group of blind men describe an elephant based on what each is touching and feeling with their hands. i read there are almost forty thousand different christian churches depending i guess on how finely you want to define their theology. i can imagine my asawa's beliefs combining mysticsm, islam and christianity to unique in this world. i personally feel we all worship the same god and its all ok with me as long as i am left alone to believe as i choose.

 

money is important ofc but not is the main thing

 

Greetings Pat, I respect your point of view,
My intention was to bring about a debate, that no matter who one is or what wealth one may have, one cant put a price on ones Physical or Mental well being.
The programme I referred to, was made to make awareness of the early signs of mental strain, tiredness and it's effects on the brain and body.
I admire your own personal battle to regain fitness and thank you for sharing your on going efforts to do just that.......respectfully JB

 

It can buy you a stunning woman, followed by an expensive divorce.

 

I was watching a documentery in which Prince William of England was talking openly with people from different walks of life. It was about mental health and how they have managed or not managed to deal with issues in their lives.
Some of those he spoke to were soccer/ football players on fairly good salaries compared to the rest of society. However they felt that the pressure they were under to perform every match caused them depression when they under performed on the pitch.
He also spoke to other less fortunate people, but none the less suffering from lack of self esteem, depression, anxiety etc etc.
So that leads me to ask how important is money to you and what things you feel money can't buy?
