what does money mean to you

For me it doesn't hold much value
But I contribute and participate in this paper trade civilization
Wealth seams fleeting and in the end you lose it on your health
It only seems that cash is only good for the now or short term future
Food, shelter, sex and other pleasures
Buying gadgets and transportation and repairing these devices
Devices and machines that make our lives easy but technically is not needed
That's my two pennies

Money equals being owned, slavery, controlled that is if you don't have it and try to obtain it..wealth is fleeting by design by those that have it
The true owners are the freeist but even they can be manipulated slash controlled by this
True freedom is going off grid

Their was a reason I came back on grid
The idea of money being a by product of doing something you love or at least enjoy to do and are good at it is y I play poker
Being able to financial help my loved ones and community is y I even hold a job
Living fast and dying hard might be the correct path to happiness
Just remember at the end of a chess game the king and the pawn go back into the same box
If it wasn't for that Dougster troll we would have shared more of that valuable information with our fellow TUSCLers. But sharing with that troll was pointless. Aah...yup

Love that expression, almost like poetry. Wonder who that's attributed to?
Right now what money gets used for is:
1. Impressing the opposite sex
then having done that:
2. Keeping up with the Joneses.
Both completely wasteful, passive conformity, counter productive. We can do better!

With respect to bigger houses and smaller families - I think the families are smaller - but they end up buying more and more stuff. That's also why families have bigger houses - smaller family sizes - and yet they also rent self storage space too! The line from Fight Club seems appropriate - "The things you own - end up owning you."

"Study: people who value time over money are happier"
"It's not that people who have more money are happier and have more freedom to say they'd want more time. It's much more subtle than that. "What matters is the value people place on each resource," the authors write. "Beyond the amount of these resources people have, happiness is linked to the resource people want.""
Makes perfect sense, as people who protect their time have decided to take things slower and not to worry too much about future things they have little influence over.
I used to let myself get wound up in things for years at a time. But now, though I do have ongoing projects, I maintain order in my personal life and keep things very simple.
