REMINDER: Money is NOT the most important thing in life
or did you know an old person who was dying and who said that his biggest regret was not earning as much money during his life as he could have?

I agree
Once you reach a certain level of wealth such as I have...
money is no longer all that important
I remeber always thinking about money before I got rich.... I burn money like the world will end in an hour
But it feels good to be rich!!Comment

So, what is more important than money?
Happiness?
Health?
Money provides the path to Happiness and Health.
Have you ever seen a Happy, Healthy homeless person?
If you can't afford to buy food, you will die. If you can't afford shelter, you will be miserable and probably die. If you don't own land, you will constantly be harassed and arrested for trespassing. If you don't have health insurance you can't maintain your health. If you don't have money, you can't buy medicine(s). I could go on and on.
What you really mean to say is that once you have a certain amount of money (whatever that is) money becomes unimportant or a lot less important.
PUSSYSERVER said it first.Comment

There are plenty of middle class people who enjoy perfect health and happiness, as there are many millionares who have died of terminal diseases and others who lived miserable lives, hated by many. You can be quite happy without money. Believe it or not, there are many people who dont care about having a lot of money. They can live fine with "just enough." Now, I am not one of them, but it is incorrect to assume that you cant live a happy, long life without ever being rich or even modestly rich.
Anf for people who say money can buy you love and friendship, that is absolutely the dumbest thing a person can say. Think carefully about what
kind of love and friends you are purchasing with your wealth. You think those friends and loved ones will be there when your bank account gets low?Adult Copywriters

So you finaly realised it's not everything in money,polish?Comment

haha i pointed out several times that its not me and some peopel still dont know it
thats a picture that DarkJedi pretends its me
I could post my real pic and then all of you would see I look fat better than this guy, but 1. I see no reason for posting it, especially being a guy who cares about his privacy a lot, 2. even posting my real pic wouldn't at this point convince some people that it's me, unless I bought a webcam and did a life GFY feed from my home, and thats hardly worth the effort

I can tell by your "chin whiskers" that you are the most friendly guy.
I'm not a noob or an asshole and yet you seem to take jabs at me. In fact, I remember helping you out not so long ago. Remember that? Didn't think so fucker.
You aren't as "friendly" as you think you cheese cock licker.
You can tell by the fact that you don't have any real friends in, "real life."Comment

Interesting thing is that usually only people with money reach this conclusion... Poor people think, if only they had money, things would be so much better, they would be so much happier, etc... They work to get money, they finally get there, and realize that having money is not the solution to all their problems...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

So polish you dont wanna prove it?Comment

Exactly.
While having money solves some problems it creates more, even worse, problems in my opinion. You start having to watch who you hang around, new people that come into your life may not be interested in you, but your 'haves'. Money will start changing the opinions of your inner circle of friends. Before they hated to ask you for $20, now they are asking you for $1500 on a regular basis. When they do not pay you back when promised, you get the "you can afford it", whcih then strains the friendship.
Just one of many other examples.
If you are unhappy without money, you will be unhappy with it as you build yourself a golden prison.

or you mean I should come to your country, meet you, drink 4 beers and go back after 4 hours?
pay for my tickets and accomodation and you have a deal ;)
sure, this thread is about how money isn't that important, but still no reason to spend it only to prove something to you

Money can't buy happiness, money just buys different types of problems.
Money is not everything to everyone. Yes some people are happy living middle class lives, going to work everyday and coming home to pet the dog waiting at the door. Some of those people love it, and some of those people fucking hate it. They wish they had more. I think everyone wants to be rich at one time or another in their life. They key is learning to be content with whever you end up. If you base your happiness in life on whether or not you get rich and you dont get rich, of course you will be unhappy.
At some point you have to step back and ask yourself....
Am i living check to check? No.
Is there money in the bank? Yes. It may not be millions but if my job were to explode tomorrow, i would be ok for a while.
Is my family healthy? Yes.
This type of situation gives for a good foundation for happiness. The rest depends on your situation be it marriage, children or your job.
The place where money becomes a problem is in the homes where there is not enough money. Arguments start due to worry. When couples are worried about finances they tend to argue. People in these situations seems to think that when they get rich all of their problems will be solved. This is incorrect in the worse way. As i stated before, money just buys different types of problems. Being rich comes with a lot of responsibility unless, you are a trust fund baby. If you actually worked hard to get rich, chances are you have to keep working to stay rich. A lot of people cannot handle the presure and thus are not happy. Some rich people would rather have just enough.Comment

You kinda covered it with "If you actually worked hard to get rich, chances are you have to keep working to stay rich." What actually happens is a number of people around you, some of em you always thought were friends, plus woodworm come crawling out trying to leech in any way they can. It's obviously a human trait
Then you waste time swotting these mosquitos who fly around trying to present their "great ideas" and "business plans" and avoiding catching dengue fever. That can be *very* boring subtlely questioning and analysing people to avoid the leeches. BUT... the "real people" are always there and you can end up with far better friends and associates

Quality of life man
Everyone is different and we all have their own "comfort levels" - there never was a law/rule that said you have to earn zillions, apart from a few societies who may measure "success" by the amount of dollars you may have. That is a foul way of measuring "success" - simplistic and skin-deep

Why is everyone here using extremes to prove their point? It's either filthy rich or dirt poor. The point of this thread is about having just enough money to get by and still live a happy fulfilling life.Comment

OK... An example of what it really means and toss it out to the extreme - tho it does not have to go to this level.
Got a friend who has more money than all of us combined here - plus, who knows - many millions more. What kinda house? Various - only because he needs a base in certain countries. He does not "appreciate" the houses as such - he needs a bed to sleep in (that's part of "quality of life" and is appreciated *lol*). What kinda car? Very ordinary - something with four wheels that works. Clothes? Whatever is handy. No time to think about trivia or waste time in malls.
How many hours working each day? Probably around at least 18 - to the extent his main lawyer takes his phone off the hook to kill the calls from him at 3 in the morning. His lawyer appreciates life more than he does.
What would he really want to do?? Go to bed at night and get on a horse in the morning and ride along a beach - then go for breakfast. Very simple stuff. That is unlikely to ever happen
Why? Because he is responsible for 1000's of employees worldwide, the operation of around 400 international hotels, around 700 travel stores, a cruise line (boats) and other stuff. With that comes problems with real estate, court cases, management ad nausea... All of that is a vicious circle and hard to stop - the biz still has to run 24/7. Will he have a long life, retire gracefully and appreciate "having money"??? I don't think so
If you had the chance, would you like to start tomorrow living that lifestyle??

there's also stupid rich people......being rich doesn't include you from being
stupid.....getting the money is one thing being able to cope with it is another
just like keeping it is. If you can't be happy with nothing you won't be happy
with everything. Got it?......good!....get back to work now!Comment

Agree!!
With some people it's a "career" in itself and inbred - they just don't know when to stop and the "habit" is very hard to kick. Chances are they could have a heart attack if they did stop - tho that is likely one way or other.
Now stop wasting time on GFY and git back to work!

If he has all those millions he could quit tomorrow and live comfortably for the rest of his life riding horses on the beach. Or maybe he has to go through a heart attack first before he starts considering that option.

Hard to explain Jarmusch - these kind of people never quit - that's not on the table for discussion. Sure, he could sell off slowly to other corps and pocket the money (it would be his to do this with - the biz is totally privately owned and no shareholders/banks blah), but instead he's opening more hotels and buying majority shareholdings in another well-known hotel group.
This is fine up to a point, but it's more a disease than anything. It's not for power (very modest guy) or for greed - he does not *need* money and he does not personally want anything. One thing that seems to matter are the people he employs, tho he can never know 1000's of employees personally, there is a responsibility for them. Suppose if people like him did not exist, there would be more unemployment and fewer nice places to have exotic vacations.
It may be that they are just workaholics - there are plenty of them. Got another friend (tho his biz looks more controllable) who has more money than God. We arranged, after a lot of persuading, to take a few days off and fly to an event in the US. Fine. We attend the event and the next morning he "thinks" he needs to fly off back to work. I called his secretary and asked if this was more fiction - there was no reason on earth why he needed to rush back to work. Secretary suggested handcuffing him to the floor and getting him drunk till he chilled *lol*
These type of people are just of a different planet - it's not about money and they could not care less. They have a totally different outlook to individuals who do not have millions/billions. The attitude with these people is spend, spend, spend for personal gratification - they would never be "wealth creators" on any scale. Don't know the background/makeup of a few high-profile "entrepreneurs", but can spot elements much the same with them - eg Warren Buffet - the guy still lives a modest lifestyle and it's obvious money is not the motivator.
Meanwhile - want to take a horse along the beach and leave them working their asses off?
