What MONEY Can and CanNOT Buy (me love...)


Money Can't Buy.....
and some of what it can....


By Kevin Hogan

It's interesting to me that when so many people want to become the next millionaire next door that they haven't really examined the millionaire thinking and mindset of a millionaire. Just take a look....

Can't buy me love.....

Money can't make you happy...
Chocolate can't make you happy (well ok, maybe chocolate...)

I'd rather be happy than rich...
I'd rather be a carpenter than a Democrat...

People think and talk about truly important things as if they are related...or not...as if what they are saying and thinking makes any sense in the real world....

Think about it...

  • "Money can't make you happy...."
  • Books can't make you happy...
  • Lamps can't make you happy...
  • Bicycles can't make you happy...
  • Pants can't make you happy...
  • Lipstick can't make you happy...
  • Haircuts can't make you happy....
Money doesn't buy happiness...
But books, lamps, bicycles, pants, lipstick, haircuts and dvd's...a different story, yes?

Of course not.... they have absolutely nothing to do each other.

But better is when people say, "Well, I'd rather be happy than rich."

And I think. Hello? How stupid are you?

I sarcastically think, "Well, I'd rather be a carpenter than a Democrat...because after all that statement makes a lot of sense too... right?"

Uh huh.

People think, hold onto and live thoughts and beliefs that don't even connect together and worse...they have no functional value in real life.

I'd rather be happy than stupid.
I'd rather be happy than smart.
I'd rather be happy than a home owner.
I'd rather be happy than have nice hair.
I'd rather be happy than have clear skin.
I'd rather be happy than thin.
I'd rather be happy than be a dog.

Why are people drawing these parallels in their minds?

Money can't buy me happiness, but it can buy a lot of security and experiences and that might make me happy. Thanks for putting this in my mind first thing this am...
