$$$ equals FREEDOM – Mar 25/09 = 6

Posted By admin

I believed that $$ equals “FREEDOM.” I still do.

– freedom to make choices

– freedom to get out of a unhappy marriage

– freedom to pick which kind of the education for my kids

– freedom to a lifestyle I prefer

– freedom to help those I care

– freedom to pick options beyond the cheapest option

– freedom to work or retire

– freedom to GIVE rather than receive

I just can’t imagine being poor again even if it means I will grow old alone….

After all these years of “personal growth,” of course, I have acknowledged that money can’t buy “growth.”  But then that’s only the thing that $$ can’t buy on top of health.  How about those times when the beauty of money kicks in?? I think that at the end of the day, being “aware” of all angles, knowing what you “value” most and having “balanced” thoughts are what really matter!!

 

 

I shared this with Lisa and she added the following:

  1. Money can buy a bed, but it cannot buy sleep.
  2. Money can buy books, but it cannot by brains.
  3. Money can buy food, but not appetite.
  4. Money can buy finery, but not beauty.
  5. Money can buy a house, but not a home.
  6. Money can buy medicine, but not health.
  7. Money can buy luxuries, but not culture.
  8. Money can buy amusement, but not happiness.
  9. Money can buy companions, but not friends.
  10. Money can buy flattery, but not respect.
