It’s not.
All you need is enough to keep a roof over your head and food in your mouth. Happiness isn’t found in money. It’s found in love and family.

ok, it can not buy everything… but it can buy like 80% of all things, therefore still, by definition, the most important. love and family, we have seen lots and lots of families ruined and divorces solely based on financial problems.

You need money to live these days but it should not be the thing that rules your life.
Other things are more important.
Money can bring on all sorts of ugly things like greed, envy and selfishness and thats only a short list.
When you have it you want more and when you don’t have it you still want it and most people only live to get as much as they can.
What happens when you have got alot of money but nothing in your life that is worth anything?
I think friendship and love weighs more than money.
I think that they had it right a few 100 years ago when you grew your own food and made your own clothes and furniture etc, you didn’t need anything but these days most people can’t even keep a potted house plant alive let alone grow a whole crop of something, the more we go on the less we can do for ourselves, quite scarey where we are headed really.

If someone’s marriage can be destroyed by financial problems, something else would have taken it down anyway because it wasn’t strong. Financial problems cause stress in a marriage, that’s for sure, but in a healthy love relationship it doesn’t have enough power to destroy it.

Love > Monies

But chameleon’s got mah back!

I’d kill for a list of filter words. I spent the better part of an afternoon Googling for them to no avail. I just want to know what they are! The ones that aren’t swear words. Ken told me a few - t33n, h*rd on (as in “Oh I’m so sorry, I know that must be so h*rd on you), and s***** like what a vacuum does, and the number four followed by chan).

I just don’t see the point of filters, i understand why they are here. But what i don’t get is how the administration staff figures that we say harrd on soo much in such a perverted way that it needs to be blocked. I mean its not like people are using this site for anything other than giving advice with the best intentions in mind, and i’m sure the people that do use the site sincerely have the ability to be mature enough and over look a few people who do talk about stuff like Harrd on’s in an un help dot com manner

but, if you think about it, money can even buy you love… not the ultimate drama queen “straight-out-from-a-romantic-movie” kind of love, of course… but love nevertheless for the rest of us… it can even get you the long lasting one!
