The Money Thread
 

So what do you think about money?

I think it's quite good for me now. I've been working on some side projects, and a website for some extra cash. Got to save up for that Senior Cruise in a few weeks. :snap:

I try not to think about it too much

Money?

Well, it doesn't suck, but I don't let it rule my life.

Spend it like water

Last I checked, I can't spend water. I can buy it though. :D :p

Money is frustrating. I try to save and get ahead, but every time I start to relax some crisis appears that can only be solved by spending yet more money. I'm currently accruing large amounts of student loans. I don't like to think about that At All.

I'm too busy earning it lately to post much...

Money, it’s a crime.
Share it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it’s no surprise that they’re
Giving none away.

Money money money money, money (x6)
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, yall

Marshall McLuhan

I used to be horrible with money, associating having it and spending it with being successful. But I made a conscious effort in my 20's to change that (witness previous thread about how I got this nick). While the new at that time AIDS crisis was shutting down my social life, I started concentrating on my future security.

Money to me now is a means to an end. I really don't have any worries about it, but I sure wouldn't want to start over from scratch.
