Let us talk about money~
Do you have money? Isn't money awesome?
This month will be a good month financially. Pay raise, overtime pay and vacation bonus. Rockin'. 8-)
I'm poor. I live paycheck to pay check. But I have nice things. I have my own apartment, my own fancy new car, nice new phone. Two cats. I may not have much spending money but I do live well. I'm not living in a Cardboard box and I'm doing it all on my own! So that's great.
I just wish I had more spending money. Someone give me money.
I have no money. It is evil and free market capitalism is a failure.
I am taking on a double shift next week because I will be working at two different places; one of which pays better than the other, but it's only for two weeks. So yes, I will have money. However when December comes I will inevitably be broke. F uuuuu Capitalistic Christmas. I'd rather just buy a cake and celebrate Jesus.
Whoa! I like money, too! We should hang out!
I'm not sure if I like money. Would you send me some so that I can make an informed decision?
i love money. I just got a new job sooooo... Next Thursday is payday, I better make some sales tomorrow to make it a good one. Should be getting at least $60 for my first paycheck :D then anywhere between $350-$800 afterwards. Yum yum.
Wait, I'm not the only one who likes money? This is a shock. I don't currently have a job, but I have to get something soon because I have school to pay for. It's an investment on the future, but it would be nice to have some to spare right now.
Idiocracy "I like money" - YouTube
I love it and I get as much as I can by working 40-50 hours a week.
My grandparents moved in temporarily and are paying the utilities while they're here, so I'm saving a bit. They want me to save for school, or go to Puerto Rico with them when they leave and go to college there, but I really don't want to. In fact I've made a definitive decision recently to never go back to school.
Money is good.
Spending money is better.
As of almost two weeks ago, I am unemployed. So right now I hate money, because I need it and don't have it.
money has never brought me true happiness
but i did buy dark souls with it so like
I don't like spending money, I like hoarding it, Scrooge McDuck style. :cool:
I enjoy spending money on video games.
Someone beer me a job so that I can have money coming in. :(
Faris, there is always the world's oldest profession!
I just bought a home. I'm completely broke in terms of money, but now I have ~assets~
Beer you a job? How does one do this?Quote:

I am completely in the black. It's nice not having any debts to worry about. And since coming to China, where everything is pretty much FREE - at least by Western price standards - I've been rolling in it.
I remember when I had money. :crying2:
Get a haircut and get a real job!Quote:

I hate money so I either locker it away where I don't have to see it, or trade it for stuff that is actually useful.
When I was a kid I'd make money bin replicas out of lego and keep my money in them.Quote:

I would like to have lots of money. But, I'm not motivated enough to make lots of money.
I have no money. Money is bad. It makes people act in evil ways.
Money is good. I'm now actually making more money than I'm losing for the first time in, well, ever -- enough to support myself, start paying off my student loan debt, and even begin saving for retirement. With enough left over to buy some nice things.
And the state legislature recently approved a cost-of-living bump for all state employees for next year, so I get my first (small) raise after just 4 months of working. :cool:
Money is ~on the way~
Currently on my radar for things to buy:
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, of course a PlayStation 4 as well. While we're at it, I still haven't upgraded to an HD television yet. Dat 480p.
I plan on going to St Louis Comic Con in April 2014 where I intend to meet, get an autograph, and get my picture taken with Norman Reedus, Jon Bernthal, and Michael Rooker. Pending a scheduling conflict leading to one of them cancelling, of course. Not to mention all of the artists, authors, and various creators who will have awesome stuff at their booths.
And of course, the top priority, the crème de la crème, finally being able to meet Agrias.
Yeah, money sounds nice right now. I don't make a lot of it, though. If I want all of the above things within a reasonable amount of time I better pick up a second job, or a better job.
Money is good...but not when it consumes and stresses you. I don't like being stressed over finances.
Honestly never given a sit about money, keeping money etc. It holds no value to me beyond being a tool to do things I actually like doing. It's on the same importance level as a smurfing condom.
If money means anything more to you than that then you doing this whole life thing wrong.
I'm pretty sure that is the whole point of money, and the reason why most people think about it at all. Cause you know, money = surviving + doing things you want to do and buying things you want to buy.Quote:

I like money. I want lots of it. And by lots I mean billions. And then I would buy my own island and make my own country. And there would be puppies EVERYWHERE. It would be an island of puppies. And I would take in rescues and employ an army of veterinarians and trainers to take care of all the doggies and we would all be so happy.
I am finally making money again! :love:
But all of it is going to bills from October and then bills for November after that, so it's still like I have none. :( Atleast I'm getting out of the red and can start saving next month!
I agree with this so very muchQuote:

It's a capitalist nightmare.
Yeah well Cuch :smug:
You can say that in rain-swept Belfast ducking from grenades :smug:
While I sit here in my centrally-heated house :smug:
Smoking my imported Cuban short churchill cigar, rolled on the thighs of the proletariat, burning with the essence of free market capitalism and oppression of minorities :smug:
:(
y u do dis manus
It's good to own land.
I'm not sure a giant haven for puppies qualifies as chasing a materialist mirage and a capitalist nightmare dude :p Like, if she said she wanted a private island to cover in solid gold statues of herself, sure, but I know if I was baller I'd spend a troutload of money on animal shelters and stuff.
I like doing stuff. You need money to do stuff. Ergo, I want money. A lot of it, so that I can do stuff I want instead of just stuff to get more money. This is why I hope I have a lot of secret rich old relatives or win the lottery.
I don't stress much about money unless things are really REALLY tight.
So basically, you hate puppies. Got it.Quote:

Some examples, I guess:
Buying a proper camera made me happy, because it enabled me to explore photography as a hobby.
Buying a car will most likely make me happy, because it will let me travel to places that are very cumbersome to get to by using public transportation or a bicycle. Getting to new places will also let me take pictures of more things, which I also enjoy.
Buying a computer made me happy, because it let me do creative things in for example photoshop, and also more easily communicate with friends all over the world.
Buying a TV made me happy, because it let me gather friends and have movie evenings or gaming evenings, which are things I enjoy doing. Buying a new TV 6 years later also made me happy, because it enabled me to view even more details in some of the beautiful scenes in movies and games, and I enjoy that sort of stuff. In addition to that, even though it is bigger, it takes up less space in my apartment. More usable space in my apartment makes me happy as well.
That's just the things though. There are a lot of services that make me happy that also cost money, such as traveling to faraway places and experiencing things that are very unlike what I am used to. I really enjoy travelling, and there are dozens of places I would like to go, but that costs quite a bit to get to.
I don't really care about the money itself though. It just represents resources. Having resources is what makes me happy.
Puppy Island sounds awesome. I'd rather live on an island of puppies (that I don't have to clean up after) than with humans.
I don't like money. I like getting some things like games, vacations and such, but I am not a materialistic person. If I could convince my family to live in the wild with me, I would be all about leaving all this behind and living off the land. I think it's illegal though. Probably get shot for accidentally trespassing.
just buy the land and no one can (legally) shoot you for trespassing
after 6 months being unemployed after graduating i got my first pay-check...
i have been living from my savings and it was almost empty, it feels danm good to suddenly have a good amount of money, so that i dont have to worry about it anymore
