Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	How much does money motivate you? I have honestly never seen the appeal of chasing money, money and more money. When I was working, I never worked more than 24 hours a week, but the money that I got whilst working that job was enough to for me to share a house with one friend, pay for food and bills, and still have enough money left over to pay for luxuries and go out with friends. If I worked full-time, I could have almost doubled my pay, but I just did not feel the need to. I would prioritise free time over having more money than I needed, but that doesn't seem to be the consensus for the majority of the people I know in life (I'm mainly thinking of my dad, cousin and one of my friends here, but there are other examples of it too). They always talk about working as much as possible and getting as much money as possible, then they complain about working too much and not having enough time to do things. Do I just have a less expensive lifestyle than other people? Or is it that they just have a bigger greed for accumulating money than I do?

Christianity Favourite Manga The Bible	a lot lol. when i was a kid i didnt really care about money and even told my friends id hate to become someone whose life revolved around money, but two decades later i like spending and i like having money saved up. it lets me live my life the way i want it to be and i'm by no means frugal with it. even if i've saved up the majority of my pay for the month, i wouldnt hesitate spending most of it to be able to do things with my friends since i value their company and forging new memories with them more than the money ive earned. what helps is that i enjoy my job and ive felt differently in the past doing other s* i didnt like. sure i also complain about being exhausted, but they're more just passing comments and not cuz i hate my life -- far from it.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	By the way, your post did spark the idea for this topic, but I wasn't directly referring to you (just so you don't think I was judging you or anything). You obviously enjoy your job, which isn't the impression I get from the people I mentioned, one of them even telling me they don't like their job but it 'pays the bills'.

Does it not ever feel that your worth as friend is in your ability to afford going to certain places or events with them? Or, would your own choice of better and best friends be those that have similar amounts of money to spend? Really, what I'm asking is, could you have a great relationship with someone who could only afford walks in the park?

Christianity Favourite Manga The Bible	i was friends with these people when i was unemployed a few years ago and have been for well over a decade, or two decades for a few of them. after being unemployed, i like the fact that i have the money to make choices rather than having no money and only having the choice to do cheap things or nothing most of the time, and i like having the money to pay for my friends who are now having financial problems themselves. if i had no money, i'd still enjoy sitting on my a* and doing whatever with them, but i like the choice of not being able to do that anymore.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I barely think about it. It's just a means to an end for me. Of course it would be different if I was living by myself in a studio flat with just minimum wage to support me. That being said, due to my disability money I can't afford to take a dead end, minimum wage job since it would mean I have less income. It has to have career prospects or it's not worth doing. Luckily for me this organisation I'm with provides work experience for disabled people. So I don't need to earn s* all just to get some experience. Edited by Pelador**, Mar 15 2016, 01:51 PM.

Pretty much this. Especially where I live you need to have good spending money to have fun.

Still, there are plenty of other things I could read; I just thought I should contribute to the conversation more appropriately. Edited by Sandy Shore, Mar 15 2016, 06:19 PM.
