Yeah money might find you "love" but it won't be the type that will be lasting, just a few feel good memories. The one who finds love without money tends to be the one who finds the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And by some chance they do become prosperous, it makes the pot even sweeter.Money. Having love does not help you find money, the reverse does.
Not trusting anyone is a trust issue.
Suicide over finacial losses is a cowards fairwell. It also shows that one has too much faith in money as the solution to lifes woes.
Hmm I see your point, perhaps you shuold investigate that hallow point. But before you do that you should realize that no matter what you have been through someone else went through something worse and kept their head up and kept trying. Most likely they were abler to do that because of love of some sort (even if it is love for themself).
Throwing money at objects to subsitute love is going to end with that hollowpoint.
You sound a tad bit insecure and immature for being 40 something. Perhaps you should seek some help or get laid or something?
It's an issue that I have only found a handful of people over the last 40 years to be worth even the smallest amount of Faith or Trust.
So in a situation where I have no money, no job, and nothing left what would you suggest?... considering that taking ANY form of assistance from the Government is NOT an option in my mind. So far as I'm concerned it is more honorable to put oneself in the ground than to take from the taxpayers.
Cry me a river. I couldn't care any less about what anyone else has gone through. That's not my problem to deal with.
Maybe, maybe not. It's worked fairly well so far.
The mental health community tells me there's nothing they can do for me and I get laid quite regularly, thank you very much.
How much money are we talking about?
You dont need government handouts to pull yourself up by the boot straps. Millions of Americans have done it with no help why cant you? I ended up homeless myself before out of my own stupidity. Did I give up? Did I take handouts? No instead I lived in a tent and worked my way up from there until today I am a home owner outright no loan to payback anymore and I am self employed. If you were in my shoes you would be in the ground right now, while I am enjoying life for what it is. It hasnt just fairly worked out for me I am ****ing loving it. And ig I ever end up on the streets I only see it as a challenge not something to kill myself over. I survived thyroid cancer why the **** would I even consider suicide?
You have very different views on and interests in life than I do, Freedom. I have no interest in trying to drag myself up by my boot straps. Good for you that you survived and have thrived. I don't have enough interest in life to have even tried. Hell, I'd have been dead 30 minutes after getting the cancer diagnosis.
Im just not the type that gives up. I have seen people give up and its pathetic.
It is what it is, Freedom. I gave up on my life a quarter century ago. I'm not going to sit here and make you listen to some sob story. I just realized it wasn't worth repeatedly trying to make things better only to get slapped in the face again by Life/Fate or whatever you want to call it. Repeatedly doing that fits the definition of Insanity (doing the same thing and expecting different results). Maybe other people have the patience and interest in doing something else or doing it a different way. That's good for them. They're not me and I'm not them. I'm simply marking time until this life is over. Nothing more.
love can't pay the bills.
It can, but only if you're really, really good at it.
I think I will just have to settle for both. :lol:
Money can't make you happy, and love can't pay the bills.
But that's cheating! :lol: you have to choose one or the other. So which is it? Nevermind, I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
Particularly with being long term unemployed and essentially homeless, I should pick money... but I have been offered that option twice since I've fallen from upper-middle class and both times I said no. Also in college I had an offer from the son of very wealthy east Texas rancher and said no. I really need to change my values, huh?
Meh. I don't think so. I've turned down 50k flat. I was broke at the time. There were too many strings on it that meant I didn't get to be who I want to be. No regrets. I fared just fine, both financially and otherwise. I don't need anyone's manipulation money.
Sex.
So, money. :lol:
Don't dribble on with "If this or if that". Simply think about the question then answer with either "money" or "love".
