    Do you believe in the old Saying that says, "Money isn't everything"?

    I don't. What say you?

    IMO the 3 most important things (in no particular order) is love, health & money. And of course one would like to have all three BUT..........only one of these 3 things makes it possible to have all three.

    1) Can you have LOVE without health & money?
    2) Can you have HEALTH without love & money?
    3) Can you have MONEY without love & health?

    Always remember, money isn't everything - but also remember to make a lot of it before talking such fool nonsense.

    Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the “gotta have it” scale. ~Zig Ziglar

    Money isn't everything, but I'd like the opportunity to prove it.

    Bottom line, IMO money is everything. because without it (though some do get lucky) you can't sustain your health & it puts a hellava major cramp in your personal life.

    Now....................................................................how about them Jets?

    Well yes, one needs to make money in this Capitalist Society that pays with checks, rather than grain, like some backwoods places in China, and Africa, other Nations too. One's Welfare IMO, is not considered greed, or valuing money enough to worship it. We get our basic needs satisfied, and for that, therein lies the blessings.

    I'm sure you've seen one documentary after another on Lotto Big Time winners, who lose their money within a year, over reach, living beyond their means, even with multi-millions. Most within 1 year are broke. Money itself is not the answer to any woes, in fact it destroys ethical values, lives; and a sound approach to living realistically, yet comfortably.

    As in those who go purchase a fleet of Super Cars: (Pagani Zondas, Mclarens, Maserati, Ferrari, Bugatti, or Lambo's, some Mercedes, Porsches, Rolls Royces)...and a Chateua Mansion on South Beach of Ft. Lauderdale.....!! People let their common sense fly out the windows, after living in a trailer in Kentucky back woods, then onto Fla, or other UN-reasonable mansions....A big difference B/T earning one's money and being given $$$ for no work.....!

    I do believe that money is everything (in matter of means) but it shouldn't be the only thing.

    Health - Money - health - money - hmmmm lets see.....ummmm.......

    Ask Jackie Mason how he's going to enjoy his money if he were ever confined to a hospital bed....
    (I know, he's a comedian)

    And, if you are penniless, no skills, no family/help, and illiterate, "MONEY" is the only thing which can sustain you.

    Looking at the big picture - I think it would be best to live a long very healthy life with enough money to live at least modestly.

    The problems come with growing old and/or becoming ill - so, what does it all mean?

    ETERNAL YOUTH AND MONEY !

    And you need money to stay healthy, Gyms, proper food, hospital bills, etc.

    ______________________

    Before I go any further - forget about the "GYM".
    A GYM is not necessary to maintain good health- unless you're snowed in for a few weeks or afraid of a little rain.
    If you ARE healthy, taking a nice brisk walk (NOT RUN), does wonders.
    Seems to me, alot of people must find it "easier" to utilize gym equipment than actually moving and working your body in natural ways in the fresh air or sunlight.
    The farm boys weren't/aren't using shiny fancy equipment and they become strong as an ox.
    Maybe not ripped with freaky muscles - but strong and healthy.
    Nothing against gyms, but that is ONE cost which isn't needed.
    Remember, we're talking about good "health", we're not trying to become Samson.

    Yes, of course we need money, health insurance- and proper nutrition.
    Fruits and Vegetables aren't cost prohibitive, are they? lol

    Screw the Tinsel Town Created Portfolio, if you really believe greed is good, your going to find alot of pain along the way....Gecko as fictional as real, now what happened to that greedy bastard? oh he spent a good chunk of his life in Prison. Tom, seriously you need to find new role models...:lol:

    The one most important thing money cannot buy, which brings one the richest deepest pockets of weatlh, Is HEART, no not the music group. Heart, If you allow Compassion to be your moral compass thru life, you will not long for nothing, you will gain the Universe.....without heart, no matter the play toys one accumulates, those are the men who on their deathbed, wretchedly say: "I wish I had treated life better, differently or did things differently, and those have no 2nd chances.

    Seriously would you of gained anything material or mental you have, without some motivation via the heart, to seek to perfect your skills? I didn't think so....

    Take a tip:
