I Love money

[mementomori144]

This thread is about expressing yourself and letting others know how you feel about money! I love Money! I wish I could have lots of it!!!!

[krantcents]

I am fascinated with money and I always have been. Not for what I can buy, but the power of it. I spent a lifetime to become really good with it too. I invested a good deal of it in income property and did pretty well.

I prefer happiness to money.
Money pays the bills so obviously I need a bit.
Time = Money, but which one is more important.

Great question. I'd say the answer really depends on the situation. If you do not have enough money to meet your basic needs, you'd probably say money is more important. If, however, you have sufficient money to pay your bills and enjoy your life, you'd likely put more value on your time.

Years ago, I valued money more for the most part.
Today, I value time more. I made a lifestyle job change 11 years ago to a place with fewer hours, less on call time and no weekend hours. I took a substantial pay cut but I (and my family) am much happier and more relaxed.

At my house lately, TIME! DH has been doing most of the car repairs, but has had limited time to do things. Repairs were starting to back up a bit and suddenly the cost to get it done at a shop seemed WELL WORTH it. He was going to kill himself fixing everything if we didn't pay someone else to do some of the jobs. Worth every penny.

I don't neccesarily love money but I do love financial freedom. At this stage of my life I pretty much have that and am completely satisfied. If I had millions I could have more stuff but I don't think I'd really be happier. Money is neccesary to live the life you want but obsessing over it will just drive you crazy. I love debt freedom more than any money I might accumulate. There are plenty of debt ridden millionaires out there who aren't particularly happy.

Who wouldn't like to be rich?
World is based on money after all

I just want to swim in a pool filled with money!

If you like money try getting into silver and gold. You'll love it much more.
Something about holding a precious metal in my hand that never gets old.

I do not generally quote the bible but
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

I think the majority of us love money, but I hope you don't let it consume you and make your entire universe revolve around it. Unfortunately I know a fair few millionaires and I can honestly say a number of them they aren't as happy as my family and I.
Money doesn't make you happy.. but it can help

[97guns]

i despise paper money and dont have any, only metal money here

[baconexplosion]

Be careful what you put your trust in!

Also, I would challenge you to consider that time is not money! Time is far more valuable than any money!!!!

Time is finite. You only get so much of it. Somewhere, someone controls a printing press and can make almost infinite amounts of money, making it worth less. (worthless)

Money is an important tool, no doubt. But relationships with those around you are what matter.

It's a good response! I would say, in every situation it's always different! Thus, at the end of the day it will always be those things that MONEY couldn't buy!

I love money but I also love the my own free time. Its no sense in work with no play. Have to have a good balance of both.

[ilseaneL]

because of money I can afford all the things that makes me happy.

[kaleida]

Money is the reason why I have independence and freedom of choice.

I like that very much

DisneySteve, our stories are similar. I made a similar lifestyle change 10 years ago, when I left my stressful, time-consuming corporate gig, for home-based opportunities. Although I cut my overall earnings by doing this, it gave me time that I never had -- I was able to be there more for my kids, attending their sporting games, etc. It also forced me to become a bit of a budgeting maniac, since I was forced to cut expenses as much as possible, since I live in an expensive part of the country, and my healthcare costs have gone through the roof. Still, if I had to do it all over again, I would have done the same thing, only perhaps sooner. Money is VERY important, but you can never get time back.
