Money
It can buy a house...But not a home
It can buy a clock...But not time
It can buy you a position...But not respect
It can buy you a bed...But not sleep
It can buy you a book...But not knowledge
It can buy you medicine...But not health
It can buy you blood...But not life
So you see money isn't everything
And it often causes pain and suffering
I tell you this because I am your friend
And as your friend I want to
Take away your pain and suffering!!
So send me all your money And I will suffer for you!
Cash only please

Ummmm...no. :D
Money can't make you a better world, but it can buy it :D :D
So you see money isn't everything
Akin to, Money can't buy you happiness...if you believe that, you're shopping in the wrong places.

A few years ago, I took an annual pay cut of over $8000 when I changed jobs. I changed jobs for two simple facts that both serve as the same reason: 1, I wanted to move to another part of the state with a job in hand, and 2, if I did not get out of Nashville I would be known soon as "Deranged Gunman Who Opened Fire Inside A Wendy's" on CNN. Yes, it was truly that bad.
I now make approximately $9500 less at this job than I would had I stayed in Nashville at the other job, which was more rewarding, more challenging, and less stressful.
I would not trade the inner peace, contentment, and sense of personal tranquility I have in my life now for ten times that amount of money. Honestly.
It's really true...money cannot buy the most important things in life.

Actually...I'm above thinking that what I own makes me more happy or noble than what I do with what I own.
I don't have a fancy car, or a huge house, or a projectionTV. I don't play with an XboX, go on world-tours, or have series-tickets for my favorite spectator sport... yet, I'm still happy. Take away most of what I've got, but leave me my wife and son...I'll still be happy.
It's why we wish people health & happiness during the holiday seasons instead of wishing them a raise and a 40" TV. :D
but leave me my wife and son...I'll still be happy.

I've always wanted to know someone who'd done that.

Thanks precisely why I work with this place (http://www.missingchildren.ca/) 'cause sometimes women and men take the munchkins with them :(

Prof's known one for years now...just forgot. :D
I left a well-paying sales job to go back to school and become what I really wanted to do with my life...Graphic Design. Doing that BTW...if one hell of a pay-cut, especially until you're 'recognized'.
no money isn't every thing. it can't buy you happiness (for long), it can't buy you respect (more like open ended lease), and it can't improve how you feel about you self....but if i'm already depressed, disrespected, and insecure can't i at least have the fucking money?

Isn't that what you do when you go back to school? :shrug: I gave up the dosh as well, and I'm earning HALF of what I used to earn.

That's NOT true Luis, My ship sank a LONG time ago, and I've been hanging onto a piece of the ship still with a broken oar in one hand and my boyz in the other!!!! I never abondaned, I just grabbed the most valuable ppl to me and held on for dear life.

Some rats will gnaw at the hull for months on end and get surprised that the boat starts sinking.
Some rats will jump onto a half-sunk Galleon, help bail and patch holes.
I divorced the former and married the latter. :D
some rats have their own boat.

That's what I meant, as soon as the man runs into money problems the wife goes.
Disclaimer: Luis actually knows that the saying is not 100% truth, and knows of many cases to disprove it. But still, a good percentage comply with it.

That's called "the exception that proves the rule".

No, it's called "the saying you can say being confident that is truth for a good percentage" ;)

Actually, Gato, I think she's hinting that she wants a man who's smart enough not to trust banks, and keeps his money stuffed into a matress.
How about those of us who keep it stuffed in stocks and bonds?

Have you ever had sex on a stack of stocks and bonds?
Does doing it on a stack of brokerage statements on the desk count?

Depends upon where the penny jar winds up, now, doesn't it? :lol2:
...especially if it's a big enough jar to hold enough pennies to buy a Dell DJ. :D
