Poor

Whoa going alittle fast.I had not said anything about marriage or what ever you are talking about.I am just saying that he comes from a poor family and that does not change the way I feel about him.JM

yeah but thats not the question its aboot you having to care for him cause he is poor he makes no money could you do that? I mean its easy now but can you imagine what it would be like if you weree like 25 and wanted to live with a guy that is really poor?

I don't have to worry about that until I am that age.And I plan to marry him I am not going to do that whole moving in thing until I am married through.JM

Some how, I can almost understand why there will never be a sequal to "Pretty Women" (not that much of a shame, really). Yes, money is important, but it is kind of sad, as I have said before, if it runs ones whole life, if it is what decides who you end up with, who you love...

does money matter?

Absolutely YES! Money is makes the world go round. Can't never have enough money. It sucks to be poor.

No.
Money as such doesn’t matter to me at least. Never has…
Personality matters. All the things that you can’t loose, brains, wits, humour, experiences, skills those are what matters...
Money comes, money goes.

but people with brains normally have money 😱

I don't think it does. . . if you really like somebody you should be happy to just be in their company

This world is full of shallow people, but as she's nice and pretty, I don't give a flying ****.

Money matters as far as the economy is concerned. Money matters a lot to my parents. But...meh. There are more important things....

Human understanding. I don't have to do things that take money to make myself happy. I only have to think. Thinking is free. There are extra-curricular things, books, music, and whatnot that I can make my life more "rounded" I guess, but really I only need to observe and question. That makes me happy, though it may not other people.

My parents want the best for me. I can understand that. I suppose that includes material possessions as it does happiness. Happiness is not brought about by money with me. I tend to think I'm greedy and selfish when I have it. However, I think my parents think that because society "whispers" in their ear that they're setting a bad example or something. Somewhat similar to girls thinking they're overweight when it's completely out of the question.

I don't think money makes a person; I think thoughts and how an individual reacts to and allows people and environments to influence him does. When I have children, I do want them to get a good education and to live in a nice home where they aren't fearful. Yes, that will take money. On the other hand, what will money do toward an education do when their is no desire to learn instilled within the child by the child? My parents helped me learn. They didn't make me want to learn. Independence.

If a person used me, and I loved him, I would probably find some way to be okay with it in my mind because I loved him, and that would be that. Probably along the lines of something such as, "Love hurts." It does, but knowing the person I love is using would tear me to pieces. But if I loved him, I would be determined.... A Tale of the Wind is what it reminds me of.

These thoughts are incomplete, but I'm out of space...I'l...post some later, I guess. =^.^=

It depends. To me money isn't really important when your dating someone as in bf/gf type of stuff. It's just about attraction and personality. But when your dating someone and looking for a serious realationship as in you think this is the guy/gurl for me, I could marry them, then it does matter beacuse you can't really live off nothing and have a life together. Especially when children get involved, you need money. Not saying the guy has to be rich but have a decent job at least 🙄
