Too much money?


There are some people who say there can never be such a thing as too much money, I disagree, there's a fine line between enough and too much. Oh sure you could go on about how if you had hundreds of thousands of dollars pouring in all the time how much of it could go to charity, how many people it would help, but when you actually get money in that amounts it tends to change people and they start thinking more towards what's going to benefit them and sometimes only them, and the more money there is involved the screwier some people come and the more bizarre things they do for it and with it and to keep it.

For example, on the Soapbox I asked if you won a lottery for say $150 million and still had about half of it after taxes, would you play the lottery again? For me that would be more than enough to last me the rest of my life and help out everybody I know, but other people say they'd play again because that wouldn't be enough, more than that would be better...and that's when you have to wonder what in the HELL would somebody be doing that $75 million wouldn't last them the rest of their life? How much stuff would you have to buy every day to run out of that and how much of it would actually be for use and how much more just to say 'oh I'm rich, look what I have'?

A lot of people don't seem to think there can be such a thing as too much money, I disagree, what's everybody else think?

It all depends on how you define "too much" but I think that there never can be such a thing, just as the same as a computer can never have too much hard drive space.
Who is to say what is too much and what isn't?
When asked once, "How much money is enough money?" John D. Rockefeller replied, "Just a little bit more."

No such thing. The more the better. It's what you do with it that matters.

I agree that greed is that slippery slope of addiction like any other addiction. I think enough becomes too much when money becomes the sole focus in a person's life, to the detriment of other things in one's life, like relationships and having fun in nature. Steve Jobs even said that was his regret on his deathbed.

I just want enough money...to not have to worry about money...know that the bills are paid...forget about money for a few stretches of time...travel a bit, treat myself to a high-tech toy here and there...help my siblings and their kids when they need a few thousand for a car, a small medical emergency or to help pay the bills here and there.

I don't want to be enslaved by money. I want to use money to make myself and others free. Beyond that, I could care less about money. Unfortunately, some of you and others sure care about money, so I'd have to use some of my money to lawyer up and protect what's mine.

Money is liquid. Money should not all just be hoarded, sit there and stagnate earning interest. It should move, be free-flowing from here to there. And money is a form of love. When you give money, you're giving of your love. When you spend money on something you want, you're giving your love to that which you love.
