What if money was no object?

5 replies
Alan Watts (6/1/1915 - 16/11/1973) was my source of inspiration for the following post.

What would you like to do if money was no object?

Above is a question everyone should contemplate.

We all know that we need money in order to go on living,
but if we say that getting the money is the most important thing, we will spend our lives completely wasting our time.

Better to have a short life that is full of what we like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.

After all, if we do really like what we're doing, it doesn't matter what it is, we can eventually become a master of it.
And then we'll be able to get a good fee for whatever it is.

You could go and ask yourself now:

How would I really enjoy spending my life?

    I enjoy life in an abundant and munificent manner because I 'program' the mind. Sometimes you will find me in trance because I enjoy it like bees to honey. You could say I am pretty happy person and don't directly pursue wealth but instead have grown to attract it.

    How?

    I enjoy every minute of it and it reflects on the skulls of others hence the 'attraction factor'.

    A couple of folks who know me well, call me EASY.

    Because I'm a results laden bloke that extracts sheer joy out of nothing. Out of thin air so to speak. So, you oughta be programmed and the rest is (easy) history.

    I heard that "health is wealth" : I need a time to meditate it.
    By simple things : have many choices, take a decision, take some opportunities, to learn new things everyday and make only that you like.
    So enjoy your life! :-)

    If money was no object I'd spend a lot more of my time reading and travelling in luxury.

    but money is not an object..it a concept that we all agree has certain value ..

    all of the world government have been printing more and more money ..

    through most of history people use to barter .. for, grow or make by hand what they needed ..then governments created money .. and i believe the church at some point because it wanted it's 10 percent tieth from people earning.. declared all transactions needed to be in money .. or you would go to hell ..

    now we have these lifestyle .. where we work a job to buy almost everything we need.. pay for food ,clothing, cars , gas for out=r cars, heat and air conditioning for our homes ..

    lives based on a contant supply of inputs from the outside world ..

    and if you work a job and you include the taxes your employer pays .. half od what you make or more than half goes to some type of tax ..and the hidden taxes in your gasoline to get to work.. on your electric bill, your telephone and cellphone bill.. your taxes on your house . you vehicle ..

    how about developing a lifestyle.. that you live very well .. but do not need a fraction of the dayly external inputs you need now ..

    so you run a businees from home.. cutting out travel expenses and possibly paying less for food every day .. and less for cloth you may need working outside home.. and you can turn after tax expenses into tax write offs ..

    then say you now have time to grow a garden and have a few chickens ..so you lower your expenses for food.. and then you get solar panels that provide your electric needs most of the year ....

    so.. what if you where no longer limited ..to money to get most of your needs met ..

    That's a great question.

    I'd keep working and do what I'm doing, because I really enjoy it.

    Wow... that's a great blessing... to be doing what I love doing for a living.

    I'd most probably stress a little less though haha
