Venting Money is everything

[LucifersIntrovert]

Money is everything in this world from luxuries for us to our necessities. I'm currently 20 and full time college student with a law major. I don't think can wait that whole time for my Juris Doctorates around another 6-8 years depending on time. I love law and everything about it and wish to become a family law attorney. But I don't want to wait until I'm 40-50 to make it big. I'm doing school full time so I don't work and have no money for my social life. I've been trying to pick up day trading and it's interesting you just have to be really smart with it. It's not a get rich quick scheme but more a less a way to make money on the side or until you become fully profitable. Which is something I'm striving for and if I don't become profitable within a year or two I feel as if I'm roads ended. Even though I feel like it's ended already with my SN always no more than 6 feet away from me. But personally I live by this quote and I can't be strayed away from it and I hope I'm not alone with this but. Money can buy happiness, don't let anyone tell you it can't because I know if I had money my anxiety, fear, and depression would dwindle at least 60% in all of those places whilst my happiness sky rockets to levels I haven't seen since I came out the womb.

At least you realize it now. Never forget it. It's all that matters. I've known it but didn't make the right choices in life. If you like law just keep at it. The years will pass.
Sorry you see the other side of this world too.

Isn't that the truth? I certainly would be happy if I died in some place where I liked rather than only wanting of it. Also, buying many useless things and collectibles, there's a fleeting happiness to be had, like a child who had gathered pretty shells and stones from the shore.

And, not to mention the connection you could make with an excess of money. "Money can't buy happiness" always seemed to me wisdom parroted by the rich people to make the poor contented at being poor.

 

[Macedonian1987]

You can have all the money in the world, but if your health—both physical and psychological—is messed up, money won't mean anything to you.

I have all the money I could ever need and don't feel an inkling of anything doing anything. I've always envied poverty because the poor at least have some reason to live, something to fight for. Everything is on my side, and I am nothing.

I am on the other side. I don't have the money, and if there comes a day that I ever felt of doing anything, I won't have the means. I envy the rich for being free, freer than I, but not that of a chair. I am nothing, and nothing is on my side.

Whether one is rich or poor, we both envy the one who lives unconsciously, the people who can marvel in monotony.

No, it isn't. But I understand that living without or with little amount of money in a capitalist society is gruesome. Here's the thing: poverty is a mess, but richness, by itself, doesn't guarantee you a satisfactory life.
