Wow....I am stunned. I guess I am the only one on this thread that has figured out that lasting love and happiness has nothing to do with physicalities...(This includes money) Sure, money is nice but, it has zero to do with being truly happy and content. But, maybe I am wrong and people get tht peaceful feeling when looking into the eyes printed on a bill that I get when I see my woman's eyes...but, I doubt it. Money has zero to do with being truly happy and content? So I take it you have no need for a job.. in reality.. You need money.. you can't survive with out.. I wouldn't be happy without my house.. which costs money.. I woulnd't be happy without my c ar.. which costs money.. and if there was a man who had none, Im not a golddigger.. but Im not supporting anyone either.. so the money matters... Ok. But, since in a previous post, you also said that shoes and " stuff " make you happy, then having enough money to pay for the house, and the car...then it still wouldn't seem to be " enough ". There is a big difference between having enough and being happy with what you have, and having enough but always wanting more. Ok... sorry if my humor is taken literally.. but if I wanna buy shoes.. and I want to buy purses.. and I want to buy 'stuff'.. If I want to buy a rock... Then Im sure gonna buy it.. and yeah it takes money.. there is nothign wrong with wanting more... so you mean you havent bought shoes lately? you havent' gotten anything? I haven't gone out and bought anything since July when I got my car. I'm a dude so I have no need to go buy shoes....lol I'll be getting a new set of golf clubs in the Spring, though.  I'm not saying that it's wrong to go out and buy stuff. What I AM saying is that having the money to go out and get that stuff is not the key to being happy. Think about this. You go out and buy a new pair of shoes. You are happy with them....right up until you see ANOTHER pair of shoes. That kind of happiness is fleeting because it always leaves you wanting more. ok Call it a hobby  Fair enough. For me, golf is a hobby. But, if you are anything like me, then you only indulge in that hobby when you have the extra money to do so. And if you don't have the extra money at that time, it doesn't make you go into convulsions or something...lol |

If those are the things you choose to spend your money on...fine! If it makes you happy , sure! Suppose I love you and would rather put the same money into something as boring as a home or a college education for your kid? that would simply be my take on it. The long and short of it is if you want to spend money on one thing (Shoes and purses for example) and I wanted to spend my duckets elswhere...what would it matter who spends thier personal money where, if you were truly happy down deep in your soul? |

Well if I was with someone there would be compromises made.. but since I have been single forever and answer to no one and have no kids.. I have nothing to worry about.. |

When I decided to buy a new set of golf clubs....my dog didn't tell me I couldn't.

That is exactly what I told myself sweetheart....and then two months ago love from 20 years ago snuck up and jacked me upside the head. I was always non materialistic. She was materialistic. We both have done well for ourselves. The very first thing we discussed was how irrelevant all the material things were...we are both soooooooo happy for someone who understands and values the actual person within...
For me....no amount of money or the things that money can buy will top the feeling of truly being loved for being me...even after 20 years to find love as fresh as the day we met...I can't equate it to money. |

Well if I was with someone there would be compromises made.. but since I have been single forever and answer to no one and have no kids.. I have nothing to worry about.. I'm like you. It gets lonely sometimes but being single with no kids is a nice freedom to have. I eat when I am hungry, sleep when I am tired, work when I feel like it, and go out when I choose, and do whatever.... whenever I wish. The only thing I can't do when I choose is have sex.  I don't pay for sex and girlfriends seem to get a lot of headaches. |

Im not saying I would rather have money than love.. but Im just as content single as I am in a relationship.. and I am more comfotable with money than I am without it... and if I do find love someday, he better be able to pay his share too, all the googly eyes and kisses in the world don't pay my mortgage... |

Money can't make you happy, but you still can't live without it. It's also hard to be happy when you can't make ends meet and you don't know where food is coming from.

Sorry if I was taking that too seriously...I was seeing it from the perspective of two gainfully employed adults. My girl and I honestly had a conversation about neither one of us wanting to be carried or to have to carry another person financially...just to be spiritual equals. Let's face it, after 40 years, you had better have your act together ya know?

but it sure makes you feel good.    Money buys beer...beer makes me happy...therefore money buys happiness.
