I worked at a billionaire's house not to long ago, the couple owned several car dealerships. They were both so miserable, in fact they couldn't stand each other. Money can't buy happiness or real love, it's nice to have though. I would rather have family and friends who love me, than all the money in the world.

At times in my life I have had nothing plus debt. Self imployed. All I really needed was the love of my family. I was rich. I gave you a TU for your answer . thanks

No. Money is security among many other things. Humans need a sense of security. Take that away and you have anxiety, where will I live, do I have enough food, just some of the insecurities. Loving your partner and having a partner who loves you is great, but that doesn't take away the uncertainty of tomorrow. Money is not evil or dirty or sacrilegious it's a means of well being if applied correctly. What you do with it can make good or bad.

I think some of the poorest people have more riches than the most wealthy people in this world. Like I said before, money can't buy you loved ones or give you inner peace.

It is better to never have known riches, then to have them and then lose them.

Money will make a poor man rich, but a poor man needs no money to be happy. it is what is in him. A poor man cannot afford to be unhappy. His worth becomes even less.

Depends on what you mean by richness. I believe a rich person is the one who is rich both in mind and spirit.

My friend used to be the same way. He was a much better friend than my other friend, who is rich. My poor(ish) friend is rich will love and happiness. Can't beat that kind of richness ;)
