"Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does." - Blow

Its funny how money is such a driving force for the things that people do in life. I don't want to be that kind of a person. I'd like to think that happiness to should be the force that drives you to do things, be it personal happiness or the happiness if those you love. What's the point of making all that money if you and those who you care about are so unhappy?

Too many times I have heard/seen families, relationships, friendships all gone just because some people involved are too busy chasing the green. If you lost all your money today, would you have anything left?

I've used this question as a reality check for myself and I think its important to always remember that money comes and goes, we could be really rich one day and the money could all be gone the next - but the things that are left behind are the ones that we should take the best care of.
