How important is money to you?

Thankfully there's CDs and iPods so I don't gotta listen to that crap.

Money is everything in this world. Without it, we think we cannot be happy. With it we think we cannot be sad. The real answer to happiness is within you. What do you want out of life? What are you willing to do for it? What are you willing to sacrifice for it?

Personally, I sometimes wish the barter system still existed. I took money and the people around me for granted. The first move was out of luck on the streets with some less than reputable people. The goal was to reach the top, but when the investment was obstructed by the competition, everything caved. The next 3 years was spent on internet marketing to pay back debts, so the people around me could get close again without getting hurt.

I had to leave some people behind, which to this day I regret losing, even though I never allowed them to get close. However, my initial goal was to attain the carefree lifestyle in which I could do what I loved. I achieved that... However, I would give it all up to replenish all of the broken bonds that I caused because of my mistakes.

With that being said, I can still say that I feel accomplished. Sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm sad, but if you aim high and never give up, you will be happy. Your goals, and how you achieve them is what makes you and your happiness. That is why people always say make small goals, or daily goals. It makes you happy to achieve them, even if you did not make $100 that day. Money will come with time. It's the things you do to make yourself happy that you should be focusing on, not the happiness that you believe money will bring you.

"Money is the root of all evil" I too disagree on this one!

"Lack of money is the root of all evils"

1 dollar per year salary? lol you should of done atleast $xxx a year or maybe even less like $xx a year. But i dont think with 1 dollar a year will be enough to even buy some vodka. I know you meant to say homeless but even those ppl make more than 1 dollar a year.

I think his intention was trying to make a scale.

IE: $1 between 10,000 between 100,000 between 1,000,000 between 1,000,000,000

Money can buy the two things that mean the most to me right now, freedom and free time.

I have no doubt that money will mean different things to me at every different part of my life.

Also, to quote Gene Simmons, don't trust anyone who says they will be happy with a certain amount of money.

Money is more important than water.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life and that desire is praiseworthy. The person who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the person who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal. Getting rich is our right.

Guess its where you live too in Sydney Australia even if you are on like 60,000 a year you still feel poor because living costs are sooo FRIKIN high!!!

I want enough money to not worry about the things I need and have some spending cash. I'm not sure how much I want yet, really. There is plenty of interesting information on money and happiness. If you don't have enough to meet certain basic needs, you'll be less happy. If you have enough, you're happier. If you have more than that, you're less happy because you're jealous of those who have more. If you have a huge amount, you're slightly happier.

These are averages, of course. The reality is that beyond a certain level, money has significantly little impact on quality of life. I've met people who buy all kinds of luxury items, and a lot of them aren't happy. They are chumps who are told what to want by the media and feel depressed if they don't have it.

Society tells you to get rich and buy stuff. You may do well with unusual strategies, just like you may do well with unusual strategies in a video game. If you don't like the game, though, most people still keep playing it. Realize the difference between things that will improve your life and things that won't. Focus on less tangible goals like improving skills, learning information, etc.

If everyone who hoped to be a millionaire in 2-3 years would become one the world would be only millionaires which would be impossible cause there isn't enough money.
Money personally doesn't mean much to me, i don't need much material. but the things that can be done with money interest me a lot, so guess money ranks #1 to me as well, having a life is overrated

Money=Power

LOL, that's great.

Get your G.E.D - Get Every Dollar

Things don't mean much to me. Don't get me wrong, i collect a few things, but I don't need flashy cars or nice clothes. I'm not trying to impress anyone.

But money, when managed correctly, can provide security. My online efforts are merely the means to create additional streams of income to increase my family's security against life's little bumps.

meh im only 15 and im pretty obsessed with money

Money Cant Buy Health Nor Freedom
Lust for it Will never go away you will be always looking to get something new
try to be happy in Whatever situation you are in
