Money can't buy me happiness
But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want, anytime that I want
Get high when I want

pretty sure it won't be for a lifetime... you will be happy and excited until you get used to the lifestyle.


I wonder how many of you actually read the whole article... :)

thats the problem..when you can actually do this it just isn't that much fun anymore. "constant luxury is, in a sense, no luxury at all."

Thats the thing...when you have too much of everything and can have it anytime... it just isn't that exciting. Even sex. hahaha We want what we can't have and stuff thats hard to get and takes alot of work to get.

Money can't buy happiness - that's because you are spending it wrong!

lol I was just quoting the song
I haven't really put much thought into what it's like to be rich but I kinda doubt I'd change my lifestyle that drastically. Personally I prefer to keep a low profile.

That depends on how educated a person is! If someone has never thought about suicide, having money or not having money won't affect their chance of suicide.

i think must of us forget that money in itself is a luxury. Something we truly don't need to live but, we choose to accept it as it is. I think of money as the middleman for bartering. When I buy something I think of it as how many hours I worked for it. If I want to buy a video game for 70 bucks, i say to myself that thats about half a days work for me, not that it is 70 bucks. It keeps me in check and keeps my bank account above 0 :P.
