If you were rich, would you have less problems?

[MrScorpio]

No question, I would definitely have fewer issues than now

[Heidi]

1. If I were rich, I'd have _different_ problems.

:hug: for you, my friend. :loveya:

[elocs]

41. Exactly!

[NMMNG]

2. Definitely

I wouldn't be problem free, but I'd have fewer problems.

[Broken_Hero]

3. Ditto...

and probably face new problems, I never had before...like...

Should I get the Porsche, or the Beamer?...hmmm...problems, I tell ya...:)

[Jamastiene]

9. That's what I was thinking, but decided

not to consider making a choice (on which car/guitar/home) I'd buy as a problem.

It would be a tough decision figuring out which car to get though. The guitar is a set in stone custom job. The home might take some time and energy to decide. The car would be a Yaris, I think.

[Broken_Hero]

13. Realistically...

If I hit the lotto...I would buy a lot of acreage in AK, and make myself a nice little home...and live near a lake, get my pilots liscense, and nobody would ever see me again(except my friends/family who would be living with me, more than likely)....:) My other little dream...buy a yacht, and cruise the ocean until I die of old age, or sunburns!...:hi:

[NMMNG]

20. The horrors

Which car should I get to drive on the weekday, and which for the weekends? How many pounds of caviar do I need for my dinner party tonight? How exactly does one go about getting a numbered account on the Caymans? :sarcasm:

[Blue_Tires]

59. +1

[benny05]

4. I agree with the nighthawks here

I would have different problems.

[SeattleGirl]

5. Yes, I would have fewer problems.

Not saying that all my problems would be solved; they wouldn't. But since a lot of my problems are related to money -- or the lack thereof -- then being rich would definitely solve a lot of them.

[Jamastiene]

6. I love the way rich people always tell poor people that

money won't solve our problems when 9 times out of 10 our troubles come from trying to make ends meet.

My answer to your question: Yes, absolutely. Money would make a big difference in my life.

[mad-mommy]

32. you are right...

and a lot of marriage/couple problems stem from money problems, lack of it I should say.

[Jamastiene]

48. Hence, the song, "Money Changes Everything"

by Cyndi Lauper. That song sums up what you just said and it's absolutely true too.

[Hosnon]

51. Yes...I always respond that "enough" money is a necessary though not sufficient condition

of happiness.

[GOPBasher]

7. Yes, far fewer. All my problems are, in one way or another, money-related.

NT

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I'm between Heidi and Buffy

Hmmmm... :evilgrin:



No, I meant I'd probably have fewer problems, and certainly different ones. But I'd also be better-equipped to deal with them: call my attorney, call my accountant, call my psychiatrist, call my plastic surgeon.

[Heidi]

10. No plastic surgery for you, mister.

Your wrists are _perfect_. :D

[SeattleGirl]

11. Between Heidi and Buffy? But, but, what about ME?

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Somebody's gotta run the camera

:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

14. Okay, but, can we take turns?

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Yeah, okay

The sheepdog can run it for awhile.



:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Cool! PAR-TAY!!!!

:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

15. I nominate Call Me Wesley.

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Great idea, Heidi!

:yourock:

[Heidi]

17. It'll keep his hands busy.

:rofl: :spray:

[SeattleGirl]

19. SNORK!!!! You owe me a keyboard!

:spray: :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. You kiddin'?

He'll have me lookin' like a tulip or somethin'. x(

[Heidi]

23. No way.

He lubs you.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Then why'd he make me look like

"Saturday Night Skeever"? x(

[Evoman]

18. All in all, I live a pretty problem free life.

The only things I really have to worry about are money related...I'm a very poor grad student, whos finished all his classes and is simply trying to finish his thesis. If I had money, I wouldn't have to work and could finish it quite easily. Other than my grad work, and finding a job, I literally have no real problems. My familiy is great, my gf is great, and I have no psychological, or physical problems.

[In_The_Wind]

26. Yes, damn it!

Moving is gonna cost money.

[kedrys]

27. I would *love* to have the problems of the rich

But I'd solve the problems I have now first:

Pay off the insane credit card debt
Pay off the house
Have all needed repairs made to the house
Pay off the cars
Get *real* health insurance
Quit my damn job and spend time building my own business (for real this time)
Take the s.o. to Amsterdam to stop the whining :P
Buy property in Costa Rica
Get a personal trainer

After that, I have no idea.

Oh, and buy a judge. :P

A party will be scheduled sometime later. :party:

[NJ Democrats]

28. Yes, of course

[Nikia]

29. Yes, in addition to solving the problem of paying bills

I'd have more options and could hire help.

[GOPisEvil]

30. I'd probably have fewer, but different, problems.

[u4ic]

46. That's my answer

we could go into partnership on a couple of racehorses, though, eh David? :D

[mad-mommy]

31. I have a two part answer.

I have a two part answer.

They claim the more you make or have, the more ways you find to spend it. It makes it seem like you equal out to what other people make and live on. I really don't believe that.

For us that wouldn't necessarily true. We know how to live off of x amount of dollars, so I believe we would save more. Also, we are not the type to splurge. If we had a ton of money, we wouldn't build a Mc Mansion, or buy a honking huge expensive SUV just because.

So keeping that in mind, for us there would be fewer problems, because when the car needs a repair, or some other unexpected bill comes up...just pay from the savings. Those are things you need to pay pay. Then there are the things that you don't absolutely have to have, but would be nice to have like doing something as a family, or for the kids. you wouldn't have to figure out, how are we going to pay for this?

In my opinion, more money can definitely mean much less stress.

However, it's not to say that there wouldn't be other problems, there are problems out there no amount of money can solve.

[YankeyMCC]

33. If I had become rich when I was younger

I think I'd have just as many problems as I have now if not more.

But, and perhaps I'm still deluding myself, I think if I suddenly became rich now I'd do a better job. I wouldn't be stress free at least not as time goes by and I get "used" to the new life and started taking it for granted but less stress than I have now.

[dropkickpa]

34. Yes, considering that 99% of my problems come from

lack of fundage. I love my job but hate the paycheck. I left another career for this one 4 years ago, but if I'd stayed, I'd be earning at least twice what I am now. But I hated that with a deep and abiding passion. What's a girl to do?

[Blue Diadem]

35. There would be considerably less worry and stress.

In my opinion, for my family, that's it in a nutshell.

Our problems right now all seem to evolve around our tremendous drop in income.

[Gormy Cuss]

36. Money makes a whole lot of problems disappear.

The rich still have problems, but at least they aren't worrying about paying for medical care, rent, food, etc. Being poor or even working class means that money factors into and limits decision-making. Being rich, not so much.

[Deja Q]

42. Bingo.

The wealthy merely have to worry about others taking it.

That's why they live in haughty gated communities with only each other, leeches of their own accord. :7

[thefool_wa]

37. Not less problems

Maybe less stress, but money isn't one of the things I consider to be a problem. Money comes and goes in cycles just like everything else in this world so there is no sense in letting it become or cause problems.

The things I consider problems in my life are either within myself or a result of those around me. Money can't make those go away.

[leftofthedial]

38. different problems

at a different level on the hierarchy of needs

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. "It's no shame to be poor, but it's no great honor either."

So would it be so terrible for me to have a small fortune?

:)

[SoyCat]

40. The problems my family has absolutely cannot be solved

with money. I only wish they could.

(Thankfully, they are not health issues)

[China_cat]

43. A lot fewer problems

because we'd no longer be living in this country.

[Nicole]

44. No

None of my problems are money related so being rich wouldn't make them go away.

[crim son]

45. I would surely be better able to deal with the problems I have!

But I had money once, and all it did is make me think I needed more. There really is something wrong with that.

[evirus]

47. my only problem would be that theres not enough...

hours in the day to enjoy that money

[Skittles]

49. I'd definitely get more sleep

yes INDEED

[DWilliamsamh]

50. There would be less

Monetary problems are choices that have no good outcome, or choices between two desired outcomes for which the there is not enough money... like electricity bill or medicine. Or wanting to take the day off to give the time to making sure our elections are fair, but not being able to afford the missed pay.

To be sure there are problems that are not solved by money, even some that are exacerbated by the addition of money, but no one who has had to struggle to pay the electric bill, would deny that the lack of money can be stressful in the extreme - even soul crushing. So yes - I believe that if I had more money I would have fewer problems... not no problems but fewer no doubt.

[Mutley]

52. I could solve most of the problems I have now

but then I'd have new problems.

:shrug:

[NV Whino]

53. No, but

I might have fewer.

[Redstone]

54. Maybe not less, but maybe FEWER, to be grammatically correct.

Sorry. Couldn't help it.

Redstone

[Generator]

55. Well, I'd certainly smell better

[Xipe Totec]

56. Less problems? Yes.

Bigger problems? Also yes.

[Dukkha]

57. doesn't work for Lex Luthor

all his money won't get rid of his nemesis

[Dukkha]

58. dup

[JitterbugPerfume]

60. the bills would be easier to pay

but i don't know if i would have fewer problems,I would just have different ones , i guess.
