Money Isn't THAT Important...
Yeah, Right! If I have one more rich person tell me that money isn't important, I'm going to puke. Okay! If it isn't important, give me all your money. If it isn't important, why do you hold on to it so tightly? Granted, family, friends, fresh air, little animals, etc, are a lot more important than money; but it does come in handy when the house payment is due, the electricity is about to be cut off, the hospital wants their money because the insurance company didn't pay...you know, little stuff like that.

Thanks!! I had to get that off my chest. Please continue to mingle.

1. Everyone knows money is important
some are just hypocritical about it.

Wealthy elderly folks have all the babes and hunks.

Wealthy people have all the amenities of life, and spend more money on flower arrangements and home security than 99% of the world spends on food for 10 years.

Wealthy people also have the ability to assist others in time of need. That many don't is only indicative of the change in perception that occurs when money is accumulated. After awhile, it is a necessity to have "things" in their life. Also, if they help others to more than a token degree, how will their children ever survive in the manner to which they have been accustomed?

Wealthy folks, I'm calling you out. Get a printout from your accountant, go through it, and see what you can do without. Add up the deletions, and donate to your favorite charity.

Well, guess we can expect a huge jump in donations now!
