Original post by WisefireIf you come from old money and have a sweet inheritance, it is understandable why you are not concerned by money. If not... Well, in my eyes, money brings you pretty much everything (and believe me, I CANNOT tolerate not having money... Call me shallow or close-minded, but everything I have thought of IS the case, so it's all an actuality and shouldn't thus be deemed to be me over-thinking or being narrow-minded).
Money (for me at least) would bring you a longer life, a better quality of life, better girls, more girls, parties, more friends, better, more cultured and understanding friends, more possessions, better houses, better cars, more travelling, less pain, more confidence, more uniqueness and asserted prestige, less envy, less inability, less embarrassment, fewer feelings of being 'pathetic', the ability for you to mingle about with better gene pools, you not having to worry about going to that nice restaurant, or you being able to actually go into something more than a ****ty high-street shop and buy something... AND A MORE EXTENSIVE LIFE, in general.
Look, the only thing that puts a smile to my face is the thought of being upper-middle class, and having, I don't know, £80k-£85k+. In London, you're nothing if you as a household bring around £2500 a month (after tax). That's me, right now. I need £4000+ a month after tax, on MY OWN income, to be happy. I haven't even factored in the wifey's income, and I most certainly hope she herself brings in at the very least £40k a year.
