living is not worthwhile unless you're happy with your current state of life...
you could make $30g's, find the love of your life and live happy, or you could be a multimillionaire who is never happy with what he has, tappin b-rods left right and center and never understand what life is all about... now I'm not saying not to have drive to succeed... just find your happy medium...
where's your happy medium?

define life?
How simple do you want it?
the simple way....
You are born......you grow up......you pay lots of taxes....then you die.
The more detailed way....
throw stuff in like....... your G/F breaks up with you.........friends are all ********......you suck at english and math, but have a pefect attendence in gym.......then i guess you can put in the "die" part somewhere aftet that.
Seriously.....live life like it's your last day on earth.....to the fullest.

2 rice 4 u, money is just a medium that you exchange for the things you want... for example, your dad could have said to the doctor when you were born "I'll fix your computer if you deliver my baby boy" and the doc says... "Ummm.... fix my computer and mow my lawn" and you dad says "I'll trim the edges, you mow the lawn", doc says "done deal!" and VOILA, 2 rice 4 u is born
anyways, you get my point... money was invented in order to fascilitate the exchage of goods. It only seems like it's the one thing in life that matters, because we are so used to exchanging it for what we want. BUT, imagine if you could go into a store and just take whatever you needed and not have to pay for it. Would you give a crap about how much money you had?? Prolly not! And where is this magical country where things are free? Communism and Socialism are based on this idea.... though the pure state has been whored out into a mix of capitalism and socialism.
Regardless, in these states... crime is almost minimal... cuz no one needs anything they can't have.
I'm an economist, and I don't agree with you LOL

money is the main factor of life. Its true that if we dont have money life wouldnt be as interesting as it is now as we will not have to work for it we will be home all day...
but....what is your whole life about? #1...money. Why do you go to skool? Well to be educated and become what you want in the future so u can make a living. Why do you continue to college or university, so that you can have a better chance to get what? A JOB! For what? MONEY.....

PULOVR your the biggest post *****....
BladeX your wrong ... dude go up north get lost in the woods next summer ... and crawl out in the fall for school no contact with others ... learn who you are and your realize that money is not important in the end....
what is important is how to manage your assets and liabilities so that you have more assets then liabilities... and thats just to be able to sleep well at night and not have to worry all the time....
being able to sleep at night knowing who you are is the most important part of life... it is what will allow you to live a nice life...
yes I recommend speaking to your brother (AzimuthX) about my views since he knows my thoughts....

What is your life about?
- is your life a race? Do you find yourself always in a rush to go somewhere?
- is your life a battle? Do you find yourself in constant competition to be the best, the top, the winner?
- is your life a big party? Do you find yourself always having fun in life and care less for anything else?
What does life mean to me?
Life means "Eternal Life" to be alive forever.. life after death..to be in heaven.
So what is your purpose in life?
I believe every single person that was created here on earth is here for a reason... every single person serves a purpose..
people say that this life is a "test" for the real deal.. so technically this life we are living right now isn't where we are supposed to be, we are suppose to be somewhere far better...

what made that lawnmower, what made the computer ? You need money to build thse things. Goods=money. In order to be happy, you have to have something that is tangible or even not tangible. Would be happy walking naked everywhere ? Or would you rather wear clothes that cost money in some sort of way even though you got it free. Love is connected with money in many ways as well. But it also isn't.

a dude bought the parts and assembled the lawmower and then sold the lawnmower to buy more supplies and keep some for himself to pay for his food and shelter ...
money is just a medium that allows the barter system that we still work on to work better.... but in the end it is still the barter system and until someone thinks up something better thats the way it will be

money isn't everything, but without money you cannot survive... at least not here on earth...
people base their life on goals, success/fame & dreams... but what happens when these all come true? Whats next?
See human beings well never be satified.. once they have all the material things in this world, they just crave for more...

****, 2 rice 4 u, you do realize there was life before money... right? money is a recent invention to help specialization and the flow of goods... it doesn't MAKE the goods, it helps the transactions that MOVE the goods, though it's possible for goods to move w/o money.
