Why Does Some People Think That How Rich A Country Is Tells How Successfull It Is?

[FolViderox]

Why do they think that money is everything? How even spread out the money is among people tells that money is everything as well. Money tells what you can buy but doesn't tell how to use things you bought and there,s some things that doesn't get easier becuase they cost more. The human development index is about multiple other things then money and tells how successfull a country is. Countries is more or less developed then how high their HDI is. Money matters little in my life and i can't get better at very many things by buying more expensive things to use. Money does make your life better but other things does as well.

Wealth creation allows for many improvements. It's one of the reasonable measures of success.

If money means little to you, try getting along without it.

If you don't want your money then send it to me.

Money can buy English lessons!

// Money does make your life better//
But lack of it makes it poorer.

[Peter Pedant]

it is better to cry and be unhappy in the back of a rolls royce
than a mini

[Mexican18]

Money won't buy happiness but it makes being miserable a lot better!

[Peter Pedant]

πρέσβεις, χαίρετ᾽, ἐν κακοῖς ὅμως
ψυχῇ διδόντες ἡδονὴν καθ᾽ ἡμέραν,
ὡς τοῖς θανοῦσι πλοῦτος οὐδὲν ὠφελεῖ.

hem hem - clears froat
old men - good bye - in these days of evil

Wealth owes nothing to the dead

Wealth owes nothing to the dead

As the Blessed Margaret once pointed out, (no, I was not a fan), the Good Samaritan had a few bob in his pocket to help out the poor injured mugging victim.

Charity and philanthropy are fantastic, but to give you first have to get.

However, a millionaire chucking a few quid into some charity fundraising shenanigan to raise money for the NHS as a salve for his conscience is not impressive.

Why do people have to do cartwheels before Mr Moneybags decides to help out with his dosh?

God bless Captain Tom, but why oh why did it take a stunt to convince the givers to give?

[Peter Pedant]

damn we have had 10 - //Money matters little in my life// - can Ihave your money please

well it does make an orderable er order ( lots of moolah at the top and little moolah ( or needs more moolah ) at the bottom) - with other losers strung out in between

or.... you can look at Egypt or India or Somalia - see they have no money and think - - "er I think dear old Blighty is better I will live there then"

or in X ville see beggars dying in the street and think - hmm I think I wil go and live a country that doesnt have many of them !

or....
