If you are over 35 in this thread, then you might know what I mean when I say health is better then money. If you have some sort of serious ailment then you would know what I mean. Quite honestly, anyone here who is in chronic pain or is diagnosed with something like cancer would gladly be poor in exchange for good health...
no, wealth does not solve problems. It appears to solve problems for people who believe wealth is the highest goal for mankind.
"that wealth does not solve all your problems..." Maybe not, but you can delegate them to other experts that can worry about and work on them for you while you do more interesting activities. Ex - has been Spurt - a drip under pressure
Tavis Smiley's recent comment: I feel sorry for these poor people. and I was once poor. But it's much better being rich.
Rewrite, that is a great quote. Brings to mind the guy that quits his job and gives away all his possesions looking for happiness. Money is like a vitamin, you need a certain amount to be happy, but more will not make you more happy. Once you are happy, you realize that happiness is just a small part of life.
Agreed...and Steve Jobs witnessed this first-hand...but : "Wealth simply gives you more options for solving your problems." that's the "upside".
