Well... I think money is more important than most people are prepared to admit to...
I mean...
Money doesn't buy you happiness. That is for sure. But money buys you OPTIONS. If you want something. If you want to do something. If you want to live in a nice environment. Take advantage of some of the things in that nice environment. I'm sure its easy to see that one would have more chance of being happy in a nice apartment somewhere than one would have if one had to make do without that apartment.
But there is a balance...
And that can be hard to find.One doesn't want to end up with no free time to really enjoy things and take advantage of the opportunities...
But conversely one doesn't want to end up with too much free time and nothing much to enjoy.I dunno.
Its an individual thing I guess...
