"This is deep for this time of night, Mrs NC! It's a necessity to acquire stuff needed for life and to make life possible/enjoyable. I'm not minded to collect it really. " I've been thinking about it today, prompted by quite a lot of people seeming to take pride in not spending much. I don't collect it either be because I don't see the point of it for its own sake | |||

"What does it mean to you? Not a lot if you don’t have good health True but being in poor health is easier if you have enough money" I suppose it could make it a bit more comfortable, but when your terminally ill, money means nothing | |||

"Money cannot buy the important things in life… health, happiness, love… however it IS the oil in making those things run smoothly. What’s that saying… “I’d rather be a sick rich man than a sick poor man” "Agreed. Everything is a tiny bit easier if you can afford to have the heating on | |||

What can a dying man buy that’s meaningful?" Deep question but maybe think of someone dying in a third world country for example… that person might be in pain, no clean water, no comfortable bed, no carers, no pain relief and many other things. Dying will never be easy and death IS the great leveller but money can without doubt ease the transition  | |||

Even though I’m dying , I’m not a selfish man , I always think there are people out there having it tougher than me , I mostly stay cheerful and positive but money can not bring me that alone "I’m sorry to hear that and not belittling ill health or death. I get and did agree that money cannot buy the important things in life further back in the thread but it can certainly smooth a lot of hardship, pain and suffering x | |||

"money - Having none is far easier because you know exactly what you have and where to go. " I'm not sure those who don't have enough to get by day to day would agree | |||

"It means "I am money. A vehicle towards distribution of goods and services, and a shorthand to stimulate innovation. I am worthless without a central authority guaranteeing my value, yet that guarantee itself is premised on the stability of that central authority, itself a premise on unproven ground. Hence money loses value as central authorities lose their stability. I do, in fact, only grow on the Magic Money Tree, which is the material expression of faith in a central authority underwriting my distributable value. I also have little to no relationship with a national deficit in a currency issuing nation, because a national deficit is also a government surplus in currency issuing nations. Private debt, however, I do have a powerful relationship to. Hence QE and Austerity somewhat got my merits upside down, whereas the national debt post-WW2 and the way the printed funds (debt=surplus if invested across the population) built the post WW2 boom years, for Boomers and Xs to enjoy, whereas Millennials and Zs are stuck within the Austerity field of monetary and fiscal policy. Which destroys lives and growth. I am money. I don't do what you think I do. I am a product of a central authority, given use through populations and markets. But it is not the market that gives me value. It is the distributable goods and services within a connected population, underwritten by a stable central authority. I am valueless without that. I am money. Remember me? You had me once."" lol | |||

"Money is the way of paving the things we do having said that we do them why? Is out time on earth worthless or as klunge said do we value ourselves more because of how much we have, say for example I'm wealthy and can afford a £220m yacht is that yacht going to make me any happier than say the guy who can only afford the £2,200 yacht?

"What does it mean to you?" Security, comfort, and a good solid starting point for living my life. I’ve been broke, am pretty comfortable now, financially, and that change didn’t happen by accident … hard work, tough choices, discipline and perseverance, and decent luck along the way. | |||

"We were happy when we didn't have much and equally happy now we have enough. Health is far more important to us." Amen to that. Health is so important. Money helps to smooth over some of the wrinkles in daily life, but being fit and healthy are the real luxuries | |||

"Was it a millionaire who sang the line ‘Imagine no possessions’. When you have more than enough it means nothing but when you don’t have any it means everything. Family, health, happiness, relationships, experiences mean more than material things. That Ferrari is a dream car until you have had a few and then it’s just a car. A dream house just becomes your home. The thrill of material things fades. " … I agree to a point, that it’s easy to become used to what you once considered luxuries. But not completely. The Ferrari is a good example. For most owners, it’s still their pride and joy, no matter what other possessions they have. No, it’s not the same excitement today as the first time they fired it up, but the fun doesn’t fade completely. | |||
