    Money ....

    ... I find it boring. Guess I'm not very materialistic at all.
    Was going to get a ridiculously expensive car and then realised it wouldn't bring me any pleasure at all. After about a week it would be just another twuntish expensive piece of metal.
    Same with other new and shiny things. Or clothes. Or gadgets.
    I'm bored with my Imac already.

    Consuming is dull.

    I reckon I need to start collecting old things of beauty instead.
    Maybe antiquarian and rare books.
    Hard Brexit now!

    Try therapy, being a pathological liar isn't doing you any good and I think somewhere underneath all that insecurity lies a really nice person.

    Look, Mods, do I really have to be nice to him? FFS!

      What am I lying about do you think? The fact that I have money or that it doesn't interest me very much?

        All of it, how are you going to prove otherwise?

        You can't.

        A thing you should learn, money(if you have it) doesn't buy class. Look at Chrithtopher Livingthstone Eubank as an extreme example.

          And yes money not buying class is exactly my point - having an expensive motor in your drive and house full of gadgets is not classy.

              This thread is not about me, its about attitudes to money.
              But of course you had to jump in with your massive chip

                Anyone who says that money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop.

                Those that bang on about it are patronising, self-righteous scum.
                They should try being really poor for a while and see how happy they are then.

                Money is one of the greatest inventions of the human race. A freely convertible virtual commodity.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    Travel.

                    Money gives you the opportunity to travel all over the world.

                    Get out of that shed and put the tissues down.
