How high up your list of priorities is money?

- Start date
Anyone saying money doesnt buy happiness is delusional,period.
It's a nice saying but lets face it,when you have money,your bills are paid,your eating good,and you and yours have the things you want and need,that my friends IS happiness and thats the facts.......there aint a happy broke dick out there.
Being a working dog my entire life,its either feast or famine,when there is work things are good and everyones happy because of money.When there is no work,there is no money and plenty of stress and unhappiness.That being said,how high on my list is money.......VERY,BUT......living like I do I know what its like to not have money also,so the dry times are a little easier on us poor folk than it is on silver spooners.
Money makes the world go round,fact of life,and there are very few broke people out there gonna honestly say they are happy,honestly,we can just handle being broke easier than those that have....and we all know there are only two kindsa people out there.........those that have and those that want.

money CAN make you happy.
there are pros and con's to having a lot of money, but if you can:
- manage your money GOOD
- avoid temptation (high priced drugs, gambling, etc.)
- spend what you need first, THEN the fun stuff
you should be perfectly happy - now if you're talking about relationships, money can alter those because of false impressions...drop-dead gorgeous girls who would NEVER consider a guy normally will definitely reconsider if he has a ton of money.
thats why if i ever got into big cash, i wouldn't let a female know i was loaded. i would have the NICE things, but i would only SHOW the mediocre stuff. after time, allow them to see the money side of things - that way you know them for them, and not money as a possible underlying motive to become involved with that person..
sometimes people suck at love, and life, and blame it on the money. it's not the money, it's your stupid ass.
i must say though, if you are born into money or "always have" enough of it, it's value is dramatically, dramatically decreased. when you come from nothing (or as they say rags to riches)...your perspective is completely different.

I think you've got me all wrong bro,
family I take for granted.......
Money...Funny you made this thread...Over the past year i have watched my good job/field .Slowly dwindle to where i am today ..Laid off and..Jobless...I unfortunatly didn't get liscenced in my field so now ...Everyday i look for a job whilst having no paycheck....I spend all day everyday selling things from home to make money.......
I can honestly say that without my setup and the MJ i have been growing ....I would lose the roof over my head..As of this very moment it is "saving my ass"......Its 1 of 2 things keeping me afloat to pay my bills.......over 10 years of experience and consistent work...Ive tried to get the easiest jobs for the past 2 months with no luck ....Its at the point to where making the "money" completly consumes my life ,no money = no stability
Im close to losing eveything i have worked for ,but im not giving up without a fight..Im increasing the amount of things/junk i sell...And i have just doubled my wattage,things are really fucked right now ....
No going out,no women,no spending money on anything but ,things to sell,food and bills.Money is the most important item for me right now.....

Capitalism rules in the USSA? Perhaps it's more accurate to say capitalism for the masses and socialism for the powerful? Think bailouts - who have benefited?

I've worked hard in my short time on this earth. Did well in high school, worked hard as a Marine for 4 years, went to school for a BA and did very well. I expect something out of it! I expect that I won't have to spend my life sweating the bills, and I expect to have food in my stomach, a roof over my head (preferably not owned by someone else), internet access & cell phone, gas for my car, a couple ounces of some heavy-ass indica every month, etc.
I in no way feel entitled to luxury cars, a mansion, sushi every night, etc. If I had to choose between working a 20 hour week job to maintain my reasonable lifestyle, or working 40-50 hours a week to buy "stuff," I'll choose a reasonable lifestyle every time.
So my answer would be somewhere in the middle.

everyone needs money. ok, if u live in a box and all you have to your name is a shopping cart, you dont need money. if you are satisfied in life by living on the street, more power to you. me on the other hand, i want as much money as i can get. life is short, i could die tomorrow. not saying i dont want friendship and such in my life as well, but i like material things. am i ever going to be rich enough to own my own yacht? highly doubtful. but man would that be awesome. would i give to the less fortunate? u bet. i do that right now. i grew up where we had no money, it's not a great life, always wondering if you can afford to eat... stress like that can hurt family and take years off your life.

i bet theres so many guys out there that dont get to have a women cause all the bills they have to pay and when moneys short i think girls are the most expensive thing to get rid of. This isnt all women but i sure feel pressured to have a decent amount of money befor i try to go out and date. Most women can be broke and find a man thatll pay for them. I may be wrong and i dont wanna be bias but this is how i feel. Thats one of my biggest confidence killers, no cash.

I'm a simple man - I have basic needs, and a family to support.
Never had any money to speak of, and prob never will.
If my family is fed, clothed, has a home - I'm good.
A little extra $ for some weed is just icing on the cake.

Hehe. I like it.
Personally, money is pretty high up there on my list. But I have lots of medical bills. :/
money is my #1 priority
for reeducation
spell it out:
money = abstraction
abstraction = potential for deception
you are divorced from the land - the source of life.
how does that happen? LIES.
you are cattle - "fellaheen" they called it in egypt.
forget money. give where there is need, learn to go without. ignore people who require you deal with them in terms of money.

oh shit k+ to the new man
well, what can i say? i do not even have a bank account, live by the day.
third world south america in the midst of some phoney socialist revolution. here atm most people do not have more in their bank accounts than what they need to feed their families for the next couple of weeks, minimun wage is a joke, food sellers speculate like mad, and those who have money or make a good salary are usually into some dirty thing through politricks.
would i want to have more money? you bet. but the things one must do to get it are not things i want to do, oh is this a paradox or what? but one must learn to put things in perspective, for example, someone said something about money and paper, money is now even more abstract than a piece of paper, as it is just zeros and ones stored magnetically in a harddrive somewhere, and its value is backed up by nothing but more abstractions.
now we need a lot of money to be able to stop depending on such digital abstractions in order to free ourselves from them by getting land and make a proper living out of it. incredible.
peace and health all

i wanna be rich, but i know that money does not make you happy...but i think it makes it easier to be happy. theres nothing more important in the world than just being happy and your health ("health is wealth").
saying all that ...getting rich is very high on my list of priorities.
