the money is always nice, but that isn't enough to love any job IMO, the job itself needs to be good for you as well

Without moneh, I cannot live.

Why do people try sooo hard to make a living and live while they will die sooner or later anyway?

That's a pessimistic one ceres. If you have no ambition to make things better for yourself and those around you what is the point? With this line of reasoning we might as well lay down and die to speed up the process.

Money does not mean happiness. A guy who has 3 billion dollars, is not much happier than the guy with only 2. Besides, there are things you cannot buy with money, for example... errr... a time machine?

It's a double edged knife. If you are very well off you can afford and see many things a poor man won't but on the other side you may not find anything challenging anymore. Not that happiness cannot be found in either situations, there is also misery in poverty.

Amen. If you find any 'extra', you can send it my way.

Because anyone that had one would just use it to make himself supreme overlord of the universe™... then what use would he have for money?

Aye. These days, we, for that I mean, me and friends, gathered for a barbecue and we were all divagating about this and that, and then the Lottery award subject appeared.

After a moment of thoughts, I realized that, if there were nobody for me to help, the only thing that money would make my life change was about survival, because it is necessary. Once all my primary need were done, I'd have nothing much else to do. :D My main objective in life is not based on money, luckly.
