About this poem:

I was reading a post on what money can't buy you. Manners, morals, respect, character, common sense, trust, patience, class, integrity, and love. I know from personal experience that the lack of money can make life pretty aweful. Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can rent it!

yes, I do believe money can give us everything
or nothing at all.

I think that most of us would like to have enough money to rent happiness for a while

Oh money can buy a lot of things McRad and even if it can't buy happiness as some" would say I certainly believe a life without anxiety and stress is a good start. Or in the lines of EverClear "Maybe They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas" I guess it depend on the side of its roots your on … Great thoughts as always my friend…Cheers

mimzy333, thanks for your comment. Most can't win the lottery, so renting happiness can be hard.

steve1223, thanks for your comment. Having enough money for renting happiness is a hard thing to come by. I find that the exchange for extra money means extra work, which I'd rather not work extra.

fjamesj9701, thanks for your comment. Stress and anxiety is definitely been too high for me. I'd rather have my free time than work in exchange for extra money.

Money for me is to get you through life modestly.
People want fancy life, not work at all, enjoy luxury, material enjoyment 't Etc.
Money can't buy a loyal friend, someone who loves you for who you are.
I breathe the air everyone is entitled to, drink the water nature gives me, see the outdoor scenery has to offer and I do not have to pay for it
I do not envy rich people because many worked hard to get there; others inherited wealth without sweating it.The bottom line is that those that think money is everything or love it let it be.We all have a final dead end and nothing can be taken for you...SM
