It's a completely different world today than it was thousands of years ago...

Yes... and technically in the states you can't really _OWN_ land. If you did own the land, then your annual property taxes would be 0 and it couldn't be taken away from you. Anyway, that's another thread.

I don't think anybody question's the need of money to live nowadays, now saying its EVERYTHING, quite a big difference...each one to its own tho

A good example is a homeless person that lives besides my kayak club. He has lived there for pretty long time. Every morning he brushes his teeth, bathes himeself in the canal and packs up his stuff. He keeps "his" place super neat.
His a very nice guy, just had some bad luck that made him end up on the street.

Think about that.

He must be very happy and content with his life then, no?

Either way, he definitely isn't interested in knowing who is going to be the next american idol.

I would think that alone would be divine bliss.

They don't usually teach the true history of money (or anything, for that matter) in history class.

History, like everything, is for sale.

justsexxx · 05-17-2005, 06:23 AM

Are you really that stupid? You keep comparing really rich, with the poorest people. There are a lot of ppl, who make enough for a small house, food etc. I was refering to those people. They can be very very happy too. SOme are more happy then rich people. Oh well,

Exactly. Money isn't everything to him

But yet it goes without saying that every week he needs to make $x in order to survive. Or does he?

Perhaps there is so much discarded shit in this world (or at least in this country) that is still useable or consumable, that a very small number of people could live completely off of that crap that others throw away.

Sort of like those little fish that live around the mouths of sharks?

They get whatever is left over.

fl_prn_str · 05-17-2005, 06:47 AM

money isnt everything but some cash and a lot of sex will do good in a pinch.

look at all the girls who are with losers because they "love" them......there fucking broke.......something must be alright in the bedroom.

Some days he fish, some days he eats at the shelter, some days he has money to buy some canned food, some days he gets food from other places.

Money isn't an important factor

lol, do you acutally believe this bullshit ? ? you think that dude is their cause he likes it ? in his case he SURVIVES without money , but I am pretty confident that he much rather have lots of money and live in a mansion

if you want FREEDOM you need money , no money , no freedom

period!

slackologist · 05-17-2005, 07:19 AM

Money can't buy you everything. People with money to burn encounter many of the same fundamental life problems that poorer people experience and it's often the case that they are less prepared for them.

If your goal in life is to earn a lot of money, make sure you enjoy your way on that journey because when your life is near it's end, the path you took and choices you made along it will make up who you are, not the pot of gold and material riches you've aquired.

Money is very important for most people, it can help you extend your life, get you nice things to surround yourself with and make you feel more secure but it's not going to make you live forever and it's not going to solve every problem.

Theo · 05-17-2005, 08:09 AM

if you get really sick no money will help you in most cases.

I've talked to him. He's quite happy

Freedom doesn't necessarily have to be about having money or no money, it's different from person to person.

For me, freedom is to not be attached to anything materialistic and not be bothered by what people think of me.

Screaming · 05-17-2005, 09:31 AM

i dont think it is everything either

you first have to know what freedom is,

freedom is doing what you want when you want it,

most people are not free to do that, they have obligations ,they HAVE TO do this or HAVE TO do that in order to survive (pay bills , etc)

if you have a very limited view on what freedom is then maybe you can feel it , but if you want freedom in EVERY nuance of the word you will need MONEY and lots of it

no money = no freedom

but of course as said , if you limit what freedom is to you then in your mind you can experience it , but if you look at the big picture ,then no you cannot have it without $$$$$

Life is mostley about wanting. If you don't have it, you want it. If you have it, you'll want something else.
Money is nothing but comfort. I have been on both sides, from bouncing 20.00 checks, to driving a lambo and take it from me. I had some better days when I was bouncing those checks.

Just my thoughts,

qwe · 05-18-2005, 04:53 PM

money isn't everything thats for sure, but it doesn't hurt to have it...

Rich · 05-18-2005, 05:01 PM

Hopefully you'll figure it out on your own one day, probably after you become financially comfortable. If you never figure out why, you'll never lead a truly happy life.

When I first made my money I thought it would make my life perfect, I couldn't have been more wrong. Money isn't everything, IT'S NOTHING. I have plenty of money but it means nothing to me, I'd give it all away in a heartbeat if it would make my family safer or more happy.

"Money isn't important, it just seems like it is".

This isn't something anyone can explain to you, you have to figure it out on your own.

PS. The secret of life it 42. Don't say Rich never told you anything.

zentz · 05-18-2005, 05:01 PM

its not everything but it can make your life much easier

MetaMan · 05-18-2005, 05:02 PM

ive had true friends for a long long time and they are not going anywhere anytime soon, for me the next thing is money being everything, just the fact that it helps me do what i want.

In my opinion, it's you who has a very limited view on what freedom is.
