Hi Leonardo!

I will be very honest with you. For so many years that I have been accessing the internet, this is the only message board I know that discusses a lot about this topic. I already lost count how many threads are here that deals about money, material possessions, rich husbands, etc. Not that I’m complaining but I can’t help wondering….Am I missing something here?

Money is good. Having wealth is good but that doesn’t guarantee or even a sign that people with more money are happier. Not even close. More comfortable maybe, but not happier. Who are we to say that Bill Gates is happier than everyone else on earth just because he has more money than 6 billion people?

Again, I am not saying that having and wanting money is bad per se, but one should not abandon or lose sight of the things that really matter in pursuit of money. I think people have to reflect on what is it that they really value in life.

Whew! Finally got that out of my chest. It’s probably an unpopular stand but that’s my opinion and frankly, I don’t care whether people will agree with me or not. ^_^”
