MONEY is everything! Do u agree?
What are your opinions?

My opinion :

Not everything but lots of thing :p

Money, it seems the more you have equals the happiness you don't get.

Money are good to have them to make your life easier, check around you and you'll find many examples that money can't give you everything...

If you remember Aristotelis Onasis he had a lot of money, but he didn't make it to save his son and his daughter from dying.........

So, for me money is good up to a point.

Sorta reminds me of the song Pink floyd - Money later on done by Velvet Revolver. Money is good but to a limit.

yeh could say that sorry bro its sunday not concentrating as much.

you made me think about the car though, it would be short happiness more then long term and after a while you just get bored again.

So does this really count??

thats the thing its still happiness no matter short or long

Bleakus wrote:thats the thing its still happiness no matter short or long

Depends if its a necessity or your rewarding yourself.

Same with buying a car it might make you happy for a day or two but really your buying it to make your life easier so you dont have to walk.

hmm

The question arises

u buy a car for happiness and next thing theres someone sitting beside u to keep u happy. Now I wonder if its a girl or a guy hehe. If its a girl then I know what goin on and if its a guy then I DONT wanna know whats the happiness u gonna get on that. hehehehehe.

Besides money is required to live, expenses on a daily life and in todays world u cant live without it. It can buy some sort of satisfaction but not like 100 percent. Sometimes make me wonder some guy actually came with an idea of pieces of metal cut in round shapes with actually ppls faces with numbers on them and not to mention the rectangular paper with a thin film of silver going through it and not to mention the designs of peoples faces, places etc. Guy was I think better than einstein. haha. Ppl actually kill each other for it.

I dont quite remember but I think it was Van morrison who said "I got everything but I got nothing" means I got money and almost can but everything but not a proper friend or love or as someone said happyness.

Not only that even Jimi Hendrix who was constantly on his weed and not to mention the great music he played. Once in a concert he just stopped in the middle of a song and yelled out "Do u know where you are" which is like the guy was famous and had all the money to buy his weed but not happyness or 100 percent satisfaction.

And Unfortunately too much money ppl become greedy or miser. So I say money has both pros and cons and hehehehehehehe it dont have to do who is sitting beside me in the car. HAHAHAHA. Backseat is alsway the best hehehehehehehe.Not to mention the windows tinted like 70 percent. hahahaha!! Just Kiddin!!

Almost did a double post!!

Might be true for most people, but I can't agree with that...

I've owned the first and "cheapest" of my dream cars (EvoIX) for almost a year now and still it's very special to me.... So much so, that I still go out from time to time, in the middle of the night, to get out of the city and blast across some country-lanes, serpentines and riverbed-canyons.
Also, during winter, I can't wait for it to snow, so you can meet up with other drivers and go up into the serpentines of the alps for some nice 4x4 action with powerslides through hairpins and so on...

Anyhow, I bet you can see already, that for me a car is much more than just a mode of trasportation...

Especially if you consider the price of fuel over here...

1$ a gallon in dubai, right?
1,30 Euros a LITRE (!!!) over here...

45 liters in a tank, roughly 11 galons:

45x1,33 = 59,85 Euro a tank in germany (around 80$ at current rates)
11x1 = 11 $ a tank in dubai

So I pay nearly 8 times as much for fuel as you guys... bastards...
