Money. More than any other tangible item we know... Money holds powerful
emmotions. Money can make you feel... Inferior, happy, secure, beholding, frightened, powerful, generous, greedy,dirty,sucessful, tormented, angry, content, satisfied, mortified, The list goes on and on. Ive analysed over and over again, my inability to accumulate money. I dont like money. Money comes between friends, it seperates people, it breaks up love affairs.
Money has made me feel like crap, numerous times, even in the past few weeks. Ive had a few dates this holiday season with men of means. Actually, I wasnt interested in seeing them again. But even if I was interested, I wouldnt. Why? Because I dont have money, and so that would put me in an inferior position... or I would have to be a taker, which I do not like at all. The second money scenario is one that has been going on for years. I cannott get my youngest son off my payroll. He comes to me for every emergency. I actually bail him out, to the point where I risk being able to pay my own bills. I know this is wrong. But when I say no, I feel selfish and greedy. The ways we feel about money have deep psychological roots.
Money experts say that many people who fail to gain financial security do so
because they feel guilty about doing better than their families did. Money truly does rule the world. It passes through our hands everyday. It is a powerful powerful weapon. Many people have speculated the the war actually has its roots in money. Could it be the missing weapon of mass destruction? You know, the weapon that was never actually found.........

Thats exactly what I mean? What other things? Im not selfish or greedy. If anything it is my belief in the value of selflissness that has paralysed me.
The handling of money is an external manifestation of an internal problem.

The old saying goes: Money is not all that important, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT ARE!!!
You're right weed, Money is evil, it corrupts relatives, friends, loved ones, even causing some to kill for it! Many people who have it think they are better than the rest, & some even think they are above the law that was made for mear mortals! Money, Money, money, can't live with it, can't live without it!
When I first met my future wife, (didn't know she was going to be my wife at the time) she did not have a lot of money either. I was not rich, but rather had a great job, & was quite comfortable financially. Anyway, she did not have the most expensive of clothes, but they were always crisp, clean, & fresh looking!! She was quite the bargan hunter, always wanting to get the most for her money, bless her. She did not want me to spend lots of money on her, that was just her way! But the more I came to love this wonderful woman, it warmed my heart to no end to try and give her some of the finer things in life that money can buy. She really didn't want me to do that, since she was content with what she had. But I just wanted to do it because as I mentioned, it made me happy and feel good to share what I had with the woman I loved. When I first asked here to marry me, she said "NO"!
She handed me back the ring, and told me to take some time and think hard about it, as we were only dating for a little over six months! But I knew what I was looking for, and that she was the one!!! So I waited (a whole) another month, and asked her again, this time she said "YES"!!! Here it is some "33" years later, and I'm finally getting her to somewhat stop bargan hunting!!! She still goes to the bargan stores first, but now at least if she can't find what she's looking for there, then she'll go to the fulll price stores. (Bless her)
Over the years we've made a perfect match, as she saved for our future (Thank God, that's why we're financially comfortable now) together, & I squandered some (2 vacations every year, nice cars, parties, kids weddings, etc) on us along the way!

It's not money that is the problem, it's people. Money facilitates a Civilized Society. If there were no money, it would be sea shells or some other thing that would be deemed valuable. Money is nothing more than a tool, like a hammer or saw.

Well then hammer me out some cash and I'll tell them I saw you at the beach..:wah:

Thank you cars. Thats right people without money are unimportant.
In youth two people come together, and build together. Its ok if one has more than the other. But by the time we hit a certain age, the lack of money reflects shortcomings in character. When I went down to Georgia and bought my business a few years back, there was a man here in Virginia who had been pursuing me for years. He couldnt understand why I was going. To him it was like be mine and your life will be worry free. I explained to him ( he never could grasp the concept) that I felt that I had to have something to bring to the table, if I choose a relationship. There is so much that lies beneath the surface of a life lived with integrity. Qualities that cannott be bought or priced. Last night I got a phone call from an acquaintance from years ago. Once a very beautiful woman, I returned the call because Ive known her to be a bit emmotionally unstable. Recently divorced, she is having difficulty financially making it on her own. She called to share good news. Basically she is selling her favors to a wealthy man who likes having her on the side. No strings, plenty of cash. Everyone is happy. This arrangement involving money will be like a slow death from arsenic poisoning.
She is a disgrace to her sex, and he is every wifes nightmare. Unfortunately integrity does not buy groceries, and good intentions and misplaced efforts do not result in wealth. There are a million platitudes involving money. " The Best Things In Life Are Free" Money Makes Money. It takes money to make money. Put your money where your mouth is... Money talks, bullshit walks. Money... the root of all evil. A mans worth is not measured in money. Money cant buy happiness. Money, you cant take it with you... give it away etc.....
Yours is a happy, healthy story. Proof that the proper handling of money, and a healthy belief in sharing can turn out well. A healthy regard for money, and awareness of the long term results from not having enough or any, is information that should be impressed upon our young. They need this knowledge to be able to handle the most powerful weapon in our world.

That was lovely to read.
Sounded a bit like someone I know.
When I met my husband I was a very frugal person,only because I had to be.
I was a bargain hunter & it showed.
We have been fortunate enough to be able to live a very comfortable life .
I love to give money to needy causes,but have found out that I am a bit soft hearted in that direction.Ask my husband;)
But it gives me pleasure as I know what it is like not to have the stuff:-6

Too often, financial wealth is automatically respected. You are considered to have class and character and taste. Doors are opened for you, while the rest of us are lucky if we can peak through a window.
The money my husband and I earn allow us to have a place to live, two vehicles, a 5th wheeler, electricity, a phone, satellite TV, food, gas for the vehicles, insurance,clothes, and a vacation twice a year. We are happy.
PS. Why are we mentioning Jimbos nasal hairs? Are they worth anything?

What a lovely story, cars.:-4
Weeder, having alot of money is not the important thing in life. It is who you are, the person, not how much loot is in the bank. Anyone who doesn't see that, is not worth your time. You should never put yourself down, if you don't have lots of money. It is not the important thing in life.

I agree with you Chonsi.
It's not what you have but who you are.
It's also nice to be able to help others if you can.
Gives you a good feeling:-6
