Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?


It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

Time is the most valuable currency, what you do with it, who you spend it with, how you use it to help those around you - way more valuable than money...and it provides a better return too!

 

agree with @mitch2 ​​​​@charles1dad

money, like air and water, is critical for existence, but once you have enough of it to live the way you want, more of it doesn’t add much to the quality of life

so many people spend a lifetime chasing money, obsess over it, treat it as if it is an indicator of self worth -- these are such futile endeavors, once one surpasses what is ’enough’ - people don’t think clearly about the notion of ’enough’ when it comes to material wealth

otoh, time is the critical resource... i think of it this way - with effort and skill, you can fairly easily convert time into money, but when you are out of time, all the money in the world don’t mean a thang...won’t buy an additional minute

even on this forum, we just recently bid farewell to loving souls like almarg and oregonpapa -- their spirits are now gone, what's money got to do with it?  sooo irrelevant

when you are out of time, all the money in the world don’t mean a thang...won't buy an additional minute

I find this a very strange way of looking at life in the 21st century, obviously money purchases a lot of minutes. 

What a dumbass comment Dow Jones. Even for you. You don’t have to argue about everything just for the sake of arguing 

Well with that I'm off to practice my yoga. If you're not aware that money buys life then you're one of the oblivious privileged.
