Default What can't money buy?
Although money is important in getting a lot of things, I believe there are some things that it just can't buy.

Family
Love
Self Awareness
Gratitude


What things do you have or were given that money can't buy?

All of those things have been bought with money. I'm waiting to see something that can't be bought with money.

I think if you spend money wisely, almost anything can be supplemented by money.

True love, cannot be bought, faked but not bought.

I for one like the real thing.

Money can buy a false sense of security or peace, but true peace comes from within and all that corny stuff. Money or lack there of makes no difference.

I don't think true love can be "brought", but it can certainly be nurished and maintained by financial security.

Family
Although in the case of infertility or for people for whom pregnancy is life-threatening, adoption does cost money and does bring family - and love.

It can't buy off the relationships of true respect...at the nursing home I work at, we had a hospice resident die this morning...Give your family an extra I love you, or a hug tomorrow...There but for the grace of god go us....
