Money can upgrade that and make you happy. Struggle to pay bills? Money can fix that. cant fund your hobbys? Money can fix that Cant afford a steak or lobster dinner every night? Money can fix that. Want to stay home and spend time with your family instead of HAVING to work? Money can fix that. Cant afford health insurance for loved ones that you want to live longer? Money can fix that. Money can fix ALMOST every problem one could ever have… loosing someone to a death or something is unfair as that will happen regaurdless, but money would pay for care which would make you happy for a longer period of time. …The second part is dumb too unless your talking about people with 100 million in there bank living in a 200k home… People try and collect as much money as they possibly can so #1 they can afford there life style and #2 so they can retire and do whatever they want comfertibly… If i had 100 million in the bank and lived in a $80k house with 3k a year taxes, yes, i could understand someone calling me greedy… NOW, if I live like donald trump with an annual salary of only 60 million per year but have 12+ 290 MILLION dollar properties I wouldnt call that greedy because if the money wasnt flowing in for a MONTH, hed be FUCKED!.. On the flipside, why would you sell something and retire when 90% of your money is being made from others who are working for you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/saving-money-cutting-costs/265835)._
