See I envy people without money life is simple you make do!



If you envy them give all your money to charity & live the simple life  :huh:



I have I live much simple life now time with kids and family I worked hard since uni for 15 years paid for house and kept us happy, but with me not being there noone was happy so I'm working hours I want and paying for things as I save.
My mk2 project was done on budget hence why it was taking so long.
Responsibilities are still there, always going to be there, but when you start spunking hundreds on finer things you have to question that money makes you buy sh!t you dont need?
Do I have money NO!
I still have £800 suits in the wardrobe and two dozen shirts with ties I haven't worn in six years  :lipsrsealed:
I'm all for making money, but somethings in life have more priorities.

Fair play I agree if you have kids then they are the most important thing, I don't have kids so don't have that sort of responsibility to think about so very different.

My friends are all VPs and they thought I was crazy to do what I did and leave a big salary job! But everytime I speak to them they are not happy none of them. They dont even know why they are doing that job for.
I said its because of the money! They all say most of it goes on mortgages and they have no free time to enjoy it?
You have to question why do we see a 55 year old at traffic lights in a Porsche driving very slowly?  :grin:

Very true. I remember going upto to London Bridge everyday for 10 years and it started to eat away at me once the first kid came along. Much more to life than money, although it does help.

Money is like a lubricant, you need it or everything seizes up.
Too much money will not make anyone happy, infact i would say huge amounts of money actually can make people unhappy!
