    uhm that wasn't my pm do you want me to copy and paste it really? if you do i will other than that im done. Adma is a close friend of mine he always has my back is so close that when he and I were going to meet he understood that I fell for Chris fast and didn't care still wanted to be my friend and call me and became Chris' friend as well. He's a standup guy and when he and I were romantically interested in each other he treated me with nothing but respect always asked if I needed anything, if I wanted him to send me anything and still after i am with Chris I know he would be there for me if anything happened.

    Andy is also my friend and I am not going to sell out my friends...bros before hoes...

    After debt is paid off then comes peace of mind. That is happiness.

    Being able to have a dollar in my pocket if I need or want something. That is happiness.

    Buying shit that I don't need and seeing the look on my husbands face when I show it to him that is sadness. (and guilt)

    Achieving a goal of paying off debt and being able to save for a new home that is happiness. That also goes with looking at my husbands face when the debt is paid off and seeing the weight lifted off his shoulders...That is pure JOY! :)

    money can't buy happiness
    but if you want to be happy
    money is necessary

    people that typically think money cant at least help to buy happiness are typically people that never went without money.

    word

    it doesn't buy true happiness
    but it can pave the way, reduce obstacles, etc. All depends on how you use it

    ^i dont even remember the most fundamental part of first/second year liberal arts education totally... so sad.... (that's how it goes though)- pyramid though- when you're on the bottom you CAN'T think of the top (spirtual freedom and other luxeries to people stuck on 'need food, need water, need shelter')

    but it's key.. a certain amount of money to some people CAN create happiness...

    of course there is a point where money no longer supports the "needs stucture"- at that point it can easily cause problems which are usually not "punished" because you have money but yadda yadda.. then yes, any problems, cant be helped with money.

    i wouldn't trade my childhood either, it's made me strong. but i woulda given anything to wipe that look of grief outta my mom's eyes. i know how it got there now. i know why she was sad when we were opening our meager gifts.

    my kai is the princess of cheap joy, i swear. you can hand her a box of 4 crayons at a restaraunt and she'll be like "FOR ME!? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!" she doesn't care. but my mother is paying for her to be in gymnastics and dance classes, and god, the look of joy on her face when she's in there is so satisfying.

    alrighty. this thread was reopened, and all attacks and petty drama was erased. there are warnings sent out to all four of you involved. if this continues, and other threads are hijacked with your drama and personal attacks, you will be banned. let this be a warning. (now continue on with the thread at hand). this was a mess to clean up, btw.
