money (38)

what does money mean to you

Money is just metal - paper and plasticcards.

It does`nt influence on your basic values and needs: love - passion - care

But it gives you the ability to do the things you want: live in a nice place - travel - healthy food - education etc.

Hard to live without - unfortunately, since a lot of people takes advantage of that...

The world would be a much better place (perhaps) without it

Money comes and money goes... Some of the greatest times we've had with my kids was when they were growing up (just the 3 of us) and totally broke... Being broke meant having to use one's imagination and being resourceful... It teaches lateral thinking... Their friends loved coming round to ours coz we had a "freedom" they didn't experience at home... Fond memories

It's not the money that makes one happy it's the company one keeps...


Having said that it must be "miserable" to be sick and not have the financial means to get treated properly... Or not have a roof over one's head...

i think if you have a home to live in table to eat off a chair to sit on and food to eat what more do you need; remember u can only sit on one chair sleep in one bed why if you have enough money for that why worry about money live life for the things that cost nothing like walking talking and being with family and the person you love thats worth more than money

For me money is important in the sense that you need to pay your bills, buy food, buy the basics you need to get through life and have the odd luxuries from time to time. As like that you appreciate the things you have and buy than if you was a millionaire and could buy what you want when you want. i got brought up with not all that much money in the family, just enough to get by and come on holidays to malta (as i lived in uk) but i had a great childhood with love and good times.

So for me family, love and good health mean more to me than any amount of millions of money

the best place to live is inside you income

for some people (on very low salaries0 that makes it a very crowded place! Quite cosy and warm I suppose!

There is absolutely no point in worrting about the future if you have just enough money to survive today........ after spending many years making provision for my future that came home to me with a huge bump when I lost everything. Until I stopped worrying about the future it was as though I had no future.

It is true that the love of money for it's own sake is a 'sin'. I remember at one time being so miserable both at home and at work that I used to work out how much income I was getting from my investments on a daily and even hourly basis - it didn't make me happy at all..........I guess if one is rich one can be miserable in comfort, but I've always been happiest when I've been relatively poor but in the company of a loved one.

This time around I feel positive that things are different. I know that whatever happens I am capable of survival, but that ultimately I shall die like everybody else - so I do my best to make sure each day counts!

Simple things in life can give great pleasure and they don't need money. The opposite of having money though is the 'prison' of debt......that is so debilitating and reduces your comfort zone to an ever decreasing circle of of ability to do anything positive.

I feel very strongly that the young men and women who are in University in the UK are being burdened with debt that will haunt many of them for many years to come. How can a youngster save up for a car, let alone the deposit on a house if they are burdened with huge debts before they even start a career?

wedward - 'u' have been reading Dickens, haven't 'u'?

'Annual income 21 shillings, annual expenditure 21 shillings and 3 pence; result is misery.........annual income 21 shillings, annual expenditure 20 shillings, 11 pence and three farthings; result is happiness'

Summat like dat, innit?
