Delian Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Money can buy most things, but the simple and good things in life, like nature, family, love, good health and wisdom....well they're something that money has nothing to do with. Money can buy education, and medicine, but if you are a billionnare and you have an illness with no cure, then money will mean nothing to you. But having it and quite a bit of it is very important for maintaing a good standard of living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE] actually that's a misconception. it's "the [I]love[/I] of money is the root of all evil." but there aren't too many things you can't get w/ the right amount of money. that's why i'm going to be very, very wealthy.

Avalon Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 To me, money can only buy you material things: houses, cars, clothes and the like. What money can't buy is: a good man, love, respect, a faithful man, genuine friendship and the like. Oh and just for the sake of it, I wouldn't want to be rich. Rich people seem to act...strangely. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 [FONT=century gothic]Money's important. In our society, you can't get along without it. Food, clothes, rent, taxes, whatever. But hey--some of the best things are free, or cost very little. Check out the 'favorite things' thread.[/FONT] ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Oh hell no... even if I had more money than I could count, I don't think I could buy the world.... tis a shame, cause I'd kill 3/4th the popualtion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 [SIZE=1][color=indigo]On a smaller scale, I like money, money is great. I don't really like having it for the purpose of having it and being able to spend it. I see money as more of a collectors type item. So I like to save up a bunch of money and just look at it like it's the greatest thing in the world. But then I just go blow it up on a bunch of small stuff instead of one big elaborate thing. I mean, I could probably go through a year and live off of $50. I live at home so my mom feeds me, no expense for food. All I have to worry about are holiday expenses. In the big picture though, money is just bad. People do bad things with money that they could really be using it for better things. I don't think money is all that important to me, I mean, why pay for something when you can go ahead and just take it while no one's looking? I'm just practicing for when I grow up to become a bum on the streets, lol.[/SIZE][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I don't necessarily think that you can buy [I]everything[/I] with money. It really depends on who you are and what you do with it. Money can buy happiness. Say you're a materialistic freak who gets off on buying crap that you don't need, like a $500 shirt. My bet is that you'd be happy with that shirt. Anyway, money can buy almost everything in a certain sense..including life. If I need a new organ, or hospital treatment, I'd best have some dough. It can buy love too. I bet that if a millionare paid for a kid's operation and saved 'em, the child's parent(s) would love him/her for it. And if you're going to say that money can't buy love as in a marriage partner...you're wrong. There aren't many broke people out there with partners who support them, unless it's a crisis situation and the relationship has history behind it. Although, money isn't the foundation of a relationship, it certainly matters. No one wants a scrub.... I have spoken... *Gong* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Money can buy you only the tangible things in life, Money can not buy you love or other emotions. Many think money is the root to happiness but as an old cliche goes money can't buy you happiness. Some may think money can do these things but as for me it can't. Money can only buy your essentials, and stuff you need to survive in the world! As far as emotions go they are not for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not. though many people would die for his money. money.... bleh... I feel like writing something along the lines of 'If you had enough money you could fund a research project into making your brain feel happy at all times. there you go.... happiness'... but I'm not up to writing the details of this research project... and besides... the team would probably sabotage my head :drunk: ... but enough about scientific possibilities that we hope will never happen, I'll go back to the subject of money. Money can't buy everything... I come to that conclusion because we can't sell everything... like love, as many have said. You can't sell, for example "5 litres of pure love in a bottle" it doesn't work like that. So [b]no[/b]. bleh... my brain is dying! help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] what if heffiner loses his money for some reason - goodbye women, it wasn't really love after all fame just makes you a target fidel castro has had many attempts on his life, sounds more worrisome than happy to me money can't really buy any of the intangible things that are the most important in life - look how fast many marriages between the rich and famous dissolve......it makes your head spin...

shibatku Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Money can buy almost anything. The only things it can't buy are all that inner stuff and true love. Sure money can buy love but not true love...:bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
