Actually, I disagree with this.

With money, you can hire someone else to clean the house. There's a few hours saved. Maybe hire a Mother's Helper for once a week so you can go shopping without the kids asking for every... single...toy ... they ...see.

I mean, I know what you mean, B$Rizzle, but it can help you gain some of it back.

I respect your views on religion, it is not my place to judge and I agree with you about karma I truly believe what you send out comes back 7 folds, and you should always try to help out people when possible

You're right, everyone has their opinion and I have mine. I agree with everything you wrote except the heaven part. I don't believe in heaven or hell, or any organized religion, but I am spiritual to an extent. I also believe in Karma. One of the attributes of Quantum physics is Karma, so it's important to be kind to someone who is less fortunate.

Having said that, I don't believe having a lot of money is bad unless you're selfish. Helping out the less fortunate in some way is how I'd sleep b... [ More ]

thank you joker17

In my option [and you know what they say about options]

if you try to be the best person you can be,

help when there is a need,

lean a shoulder to someone to lean on when they needs strength ,

and this is the hardest one for me

treat people like you want to be treated cause alot times they take advantage of you !!

again just my option

I agree. Especially if traumatic experiences in the past time have effected you greatly. No amount of money can change your past.

It bothers me when anyone, not just you, makes a blanket statement that says Money won't or can't buy happiness . That should be based on a person to person diagnosis. NOT everyone will be unhappy just because someone says they will, based on some statistic which means nothing to me. There are plenty of rich folks out there who are very happy. Sure they have problems like the rest of us, but that's normal. Nevertheless, they're rich and happy. How come no one talks about them?

Now the time has come (Time)

There's no place left to run (Time)

I might get burned up by the sun (Time)

But I had my fun (Time)

I've been loved and put aside (Time)

I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)

And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

(Time)

Now the time has come (Time)

There are things to realize (Time)

Time has come today (Time)

Time has come today (Time)

Money cannot buy exemption from weirdos and stalkers and busybodies who worry about what everybody else is doing instead of minding their own business.

Money can buy weaponry that can prevent those kind of people from coming on your property though.

Thank God for that.

Money definitely cannot bring back someone who has passed on.

A lot of people think things will make them happy, material things, but that just leads to one thing after another after another that just didn't do it.

Here' the lyrics to A Satisfied Mind, fits the conversation:

How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I would do things my way

But little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Money can buy financial security. If you win a lottery jackpot, you don't need to worry about how to put food on the table or how to pay your mortgage or your rent.

Money can't buy happiness if there is something in your life that can't be fixed with money such as having a dysfunctional family.

What money can and cannot buy

So as not to hi-jack joker's thread I thought we could discuss what money can and can't buy.

When I worked in casinos the most common discusion was where to go get a better job. We had one guy on our crew who talked about some of the hi-rollers we saw and said since they were living the good life and had the money to do it what they talked about was how to live longer!

Say you hit MM or PB and come into a huge score.

What can the money get you, and what can't it get you?
