Seriously though I had a choice between great wealth and Hubby and I chose Hubby. No contest.
Money is great, it certainly oils the wheels of life but if you haven't got anyone to share it with IMO there is no point. I made a choice following my heart rather than the allure of money and I haven't regretted it yet. Well OK a vintage Yacht and more travel would be nice but I can live without. Living without Hubby would be inconceivable however.

You'd have family and friends to share it with, or give it to those in true need (like the homeless or to a charity), if that's what you're into.
Lmao. Money and it's not even close. I don't need "love" Ill just live the bachelor life that I'm living now but with a much better place, cars, And overall resources.

Nah, friends are not the same thing, and I have pretty much no family having been ostracised for my Love choices ! ( I would still have a family had I not chosen Hubby but not one I would want to socialise with for obvious reasons). Charities would be good ( I do my bit now as much as I can ) though.
So I suppose good causes have suffered because of my selfish choice of wanting Love !! C'est la vie...
My life would be completely different had I chosen a different path but I am convinced I would not have been happy. I grew up with great sums of money and it taught me that if you are dysfunctional in life it does not help at all. And my Family is about as dysfunctional as they get, a Brazilian soap opera would probably make more sense.
Too many people obsessed with "stuff" and strange ideas about the world and how it should function. I left that environment as soon as I could. Money does not have to change people but sadly it more often than not does and not usually for the better in my experience.
I live in a small cottage, Hubby and I live on a reasonable but modest salary and we have enough for us to go out to dinner, the theatre and some travels and it is sufficient.
A little more would be good obviously but I have never thought being a Millionaire was that important to be honest. Our needs are modest on the whole and as long as we have enough to pay the bills and still have spare to enjoy ourselves all is good.
I have no interest in designer clothes, rolexes, status symbols, bling etc.., travel would be my only luxury to be honest if we never had to think about money. It is the only aspect of my previous life I really miss. Being on the road constantly.
I think people are far too focussed on money IMO. Not having enough is bad. It causes stress and worries and nobody would argue that's a good thing but why do people think they need millions to be happy ? If you are not happy and fulfilled without you will be nothing with it either.
