Ever spend more money than you actually have? I can't help but haemorrhage cash, and bury my head in the sand. Why is there so much stuff that I simply MUST have?
Oh dear, it's a rich man's world...

Ellie,

I spend more money than I could EVER HOPE to have.

Neiman-Marcus was able to open up a new branch because of all the business I do there.

I usually have too much month left at the end of my money.

i view my credit as my money. actual money is more something of a fairytale. damned education and broadway habit.

You can never have enough of what you don't really need.

That wasn't exactly what you said about my lips the other night - it was more like them being OF God...

I like to meet the idiot that said money doesnt make one happy! Obviously he aint ever had it!

[Rathnait62]

More likely, he had plenty.

Exactly, Rath. Please not that the phrase "money can't buy you happiness" has NEVER been uttered by someone who is poor. Ever.

I have a quote that, as far as I know, I made up. I'll tell people "You can't always depend on money to bring you happiness, but you CAN usually depend on poverty to bring you the opposite."

what bugs me is when I run out of money before month end and I think "But I did NOTHING fun this month. I bought NOTHING extravagant this month. I bought ZERO clothes this month... etc"

Actually I know people who are dirt poor in Haiti who are a lot happier than a lot of the people I know. I don't quite understand it, but it seems to be true. I think it is that they have a much larger sense of the importance of friends and family since they don't have the money to take up their attention. I think though that whether you are rich or poor money can be all you care about and that doesn't lead to a happy life.

i was speaking more in a cultural context. if we're talking worldwide, then there are plenty of ways people are happy without money. but this is America, where we don't do real self-actualization. i'm sure it's possible, but we're far too busy coveting our neighbors' items.

Ahhh ok I see where you are coming from Matt. Sorry I am just on my soapbox with my whole wanting to do more to help the poor and everything. Don't let me stop you from your right to gripe about money.

Money isn't everything, it isn't even the only thing. But sometimes it is just nice to have a little extra around!

Dr Wayne Dyer: Money isn't in our lives because we have "scarcity conciousness."

Borstalboy: F*%k you, Dyer!

I mean...I'm perfectly happy. I have a wonderful boyfriend, a great family, terrific friends and a good job. Plus, my health (both mental and physical).

The only blessing left is money. Please. Someone. Give it to me. It would make me DELIRIOUSLY happy.

It would be nice to have some extra money but I don't honestly know if I woud want to be rich... Just a little bit of extra money. 20 more bucks a week even would be great!
