[4TH AND STUPID]

Well, I learned the most valuable lesson of my life this month, no matter how much $ me/family have, it couldnt buy me good health. I had to have my left kidney cut out on the 15th of this month, cancer. Im lucky it was caught very early and it didnt spread anywhere else, but here is a lesson for all you young guys who think your invincible.DONT SMOKE, I quit smoking ciggs in 1997 and in 2011 they caught up with me, so guys be smart dont smoke ciggs.

Health is # 1, money is great, but even with all the great stuff in medical science, there are somethings they just cant prevent, only your own actions can,JMO.

Terrible example, without money you'd be dead, those cancer surgeons usually drive Lamborghinis and live in mansions

Your opinion, but there is a thing called health insurance that pretty much covers the whole expense in my case.

Cap day ass is one of the sharpest posters at SBR.

Anyone who thinks money equates to happiness has little clue about life.

Some of the most miserable, most unhappy prikks I know are extremely wealthy.

They have little to no involvement in their kids' lives, and usually several failed marriages. Their lives revolve only around their wealth, and it's basically sucked out all the good things in life.

But no matter how much money they have, they'll never be truly rich.

$$$$$= everything

capitalist pig - my heart goes out to you. All of us damage our bodies whether intentionally or not and it saddens me to see a cool guy go through this. Sending every good vibe I have your way. xoxo

As for the question: I think money can't buy a lot of things that aren't either tangible or aren't about you personally. I was lucky - grew up in a family with a bit of cash and worked my butt off to make sure I'd kind of be ok. But when you don't worry about one thing, you worry about another. Whether it's your child, your spouse, your parents... And if you're the type that doesn't worry about any of those than it may be about your internet connection dying, getting banned from an online forum, etc... People with money have freedom to a certain extent. But they're also tied into managing that money to prevent it disappearing like 99% of lottery winners have seen happen. That takes effort - or at the very least reducing your wealth so someone else can expend that effort. And truthfully, I was just as happy today in the park with my son as I've ever been doing more flashy things. I luckily had the means to do something more extravagant between 2-5pm today but I didn't give a rats ass about doing so. Not sure having money equates to your level of happiness if you have the basics covered. However I do feel blessed each month when I pay my bills and I don't worry about still trying to figure out a way to eat. I'll never be inconsiderate of that or take that for granted.

Could be wrong though.

Human feces. Money can't buy it. Put a picture of your feces on Ebay and see if someone buys it. Leave it outside and try to sell it on a yard sale. No one will buy it.

Only thing money cant buy is peace of mind

Unless you stay drugged out all day

[Glitch]

Can't buy loyalty, happiness, character, common sense, wisdom, patience, imagination, compassion, integrity, tolerance to name a few

loyalty- buy 10 armed guards and some highly trained dogs
happiness- you can buy everything you like that makes you happy
character- when you have money, you dont as readily consider stealing and hurting people as a viable investment strategy. it is easier to be a law-abiding citizen.
common sense- it can give you the training and education and knowledge that will help you see the world in a way where you can make better decisions and train your mind.
wisdom- thats one.
patience- would you rather sit in a waiting room with an ipad and a steak or would you rather be waiting there being impatient with a yoyo and a eggplant?
imagination- two i guess.
compassion- it allots you the ability to display compassion easier through more means.
integrity- see "character" above
tolerance- not even sure what you mean here.

money can buy a lot of things or the means through which these things can be achieved.

Good answer !

I disagree with happiness, because $ does buy happiness. When you are winning money, you are happy.
When you go vacations, you are happy. Without money, you can't go vacations. When you have money to buy cars, dream homes, you are happy. Thus I don't believe it doesn't buy happiness.

The most miserable guy I know inherited about $70 million at age 37. He's now in his early 60's. Didn't do a damn thing for him.

so far the good ones I've seen are time and good health.
