    When you have beaten a serious life threatening illness, come back and tell me how "money is everything".


    You're absolutely right as far as I am concerned. Health comes above everything else. Having suffered health problems myself earlier this year it has helped me put everything more than ever into perspective.
    I would rather be doing something healthy like a run or a walk in the forest any day rather than being cooped up in an office earning money that I may never use.

      And the state of my health is none of your business. Grow up.
      OK fair enough, I can't be bothered to explain it to you - your loss.

      As regards to your health, If you don't want someone mentioning it, don't use it in debate..

      "No-one argue with me 'cos I almost died - so I'm right OK?"

      Well you're wrong anyway.

      You'll die poor and you'll leave your family poor - tough sh*t.

        Nothing wrong with leaving your family poor at all. Everybody needs incentive in life and money destroys it for many. Very many rich people have vowed to leave little money to their offspring, and in my mind they are doing the right thing.
        Kids with too much money can become bone idle, aimless and totally waste their lives on a decadent lifestyle. One example I can think of immediately is Christina Onassis who was totally destroyed by the billions that her shipping magnate father left her, and eventually committed suicide.

              Agree - Its the responsibility of parents to teach children how to manage/make/understand money. No many do though.
              IMO, there's too much "just do what makes you happy and here's £10 per week pocket money".
              We don't give out children pocket money. Instead we help them to make it.
              Eldest is on a nice earner selling sweets to his classmates. (Not ethical but sowhat?).
              He makes more money than I would have given him at his age and we let him spend it as he wishes - usually PS3 games . At least he buys and then sells them on EBAY afterwards.

                  It's my main goal in life

                  My second goal is destruction of the world economy followed by the total annihilation of the human race

                      What's life without goals (and a hobby)?
