Re: How Important Is Money To You?
Yes, money is important to me Art.Not in a greedy, all consuming way, but I know from experience what a nightmare worry it is to try and eke things out and make a small amount get you by.
I would not spend money on exotic holidays and designer clothes - ever - but enough to pay the bills, not owe anyone, have plenty of food for me and my dogs, and keep my car on the road is all I ask.

Re: How Important Is Money To You?
It's never been more important than for instance my family, we've given up a lot for family including being able to earn a lot of money.It's a means to an end, we need enough to house ourselves, feed ourselves and keep warm. It's a bonus to have enough to have a bit of fun with holidays etc. And great to have enough to help others. But it's no God to us and we would give all the money up for better health.

Re: How Important Is Money To You?
We are grateful to have enough money to ensure we are comfortable in our old age, as long as we don't go crazy with it.We have never been big spenders, and always cut our coat according to our cloth. Apart from the mortgage, paid off a few years ago, if we couldn't afford something we did without, or saved up until we could afford it. Going out for a meal only happens very occasionally; we have never been to a pub just for a drink. We have also never been to nightclubs or discos, they are of no interest to us. For holidays we usually went back to my home island once a year when the children were young, staying with my parents. When they were older we took them on educational holidays, which we thought important for them. I haven't been away for three years and that doesn't worry me at all.
It is nice to be able to help our children out financially when they are in need. We also like to donate to various charities on a regular basis, like Children in Need, for instance.

The worst are the ones that stash it all away, penny pinch and do without in order to keep the figure high on their bank balance!
I see so many wealthy celebrities dying lately and l think, what's the good of their riches?
Money guarantees nothing!
