Are you scared of money?

Does money scare you? Either losing it, or making it. Not having enough or having too much to know what to do with.

What's your relationship with money?

 

I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold.

 

how could i be scared of something i never seem to have?

 

My relationship with money is normal.. I'm not consumed with the thought of it... I make more than enough to support myself, pay my bills and just live..

that is all...

If I constantly sat around and thought about money, I would perhaps question where I am at with my life and why I'm so concerned with this thought.. Though, that is just me and everyone is different.. One might enjoy money, one might want to strive to make a lot and life a "rich" life and so forth.. And that's good for them, but for me personally, I don't really think about money... But I don't have kids, nor debt or so forth so if I had kids, or married, or was in debt and so forth than perhaps I would think differently...

 

I don't think much about money. There are not many material things I want. As long as I can afford food and a place to live, I am pretty much happy.

The one problem with money is having too little or too much.

 

Sadly I have no relationship with money. I live in a credit card world. I may not have any money at all. But I have great credit.

Peace

 

money is awesome and cruel at the same time.. i sure wish i had some more, but i am perfectly happy with out having any for the past few weeks...

other people its just not that easy...

 

You know, I have never owned a credit card..and will probably not ever... That's an accident waiting to happen...

 

Actually some people would say thats a stupid post re making it , but theres a lot of sense in it.

I know a guy worth a *lot* of dough and he's scared of making it and losing it.
Since he's had it ,he's met lots of shysters who'd try and lure him in and theyd rob him.Like the money attracted evil.Also he became very anti materialist- atleast for himself.So he often thinks , more money equals more sycophants , gold diggers and hassles.

Because he found it easy to lose money , he's also scared of losing it - he was homeless for a while when he was younger.

Super rich people who are balanced dont tend to obsess over it.
Sort of money is an aspect to life - means you can do things - good things and silly things.But they struggle to fathom people who do a job 40 years that they hate.
However , many people are brainwashed into counting/making it so much , that they never ever find a balanced( worthwhile) life.

Few of todays billionaires will be remembered in 50 or 100 years time.But the word's obsessed with them -unlike the true legends of the future - scientists , artists etc
Strange really...

 

It lets me do the things I like doing. In and of itself it doesn't make me happy.

 

I like the feeling of money accumulating in my bank account. I always seem to live the same regardless of my money situation though

 

for a person yes.But for a company , it can be strangely normal.
Some people reckon Japan is fucked because no one will run a company if it might fuck up.In Britain , people run it on credit , take a salary then knock it on the head if its fucked.In Japan people would rather kill themsleves than let it fail.

 

Credit card is just one step on the way to house ownership.

 

its an unfortunate means to and end. I require it but do not desire it.

 

i like money. i'm not afraid of it. i don't obsess over it.

 

Money is funny because, well... when you go to take out a loan from a bank, not a single dollar is printed up. No, all the bank does is simply add a bunch of numbers to a computer database from which you are paying interest on from that point forward.

Money is funny. Mainly because it doesn't really exist. Sure paper with green ink exists, but that's all it is. So you are paying interest on something that is either wothless paper or numbers on a computer. Yet if you are in debt or forget to make payments, the banks can come and claim your real wealth (car, house, etc.) for not paying them the money (artificial wealth) which they printed out of thin air.

Money is funny.

 

At this point in my life, I'm completely satisfied being broke.

I don't have expenses, and the things I'm interested in perusing aren't likely to be lucrative soon. I'm prepared to be broke until my thirties because I see that as being likely. After that point I expect to be making some money with what I've spent this time devoting myself too.

In the past when I have had disposable income there hasn't been much I've liked to buy with it.

Comes and goes I say. As long as I can keep my stomach full and feel the warm sun shine on my shoulders, I'll be king in my own world. :biggrin:

 

I'd rather know about your relationship with money Adam.

I can honestly say it AGES me!!

I do know that if I won alot of money I'd be afraid of it and give it away.

 

I'm not scared of not having enough money, I don't need very much at all to live the life I want to live, I just wish I didn't need it at all. We don't, really.

 

Money is funny.
