yeah right, money can help support you with food and rent, money is good
but yeah i agree buying materialistic things wont make you happy, aka having 20K car vs 2K car wont make you happy.
but struggiling to put food on table or paying up the rent will make you unhappy
HairPieceMan said:yes but that is the amount of money you would accumalate after 30 years of working full time, you are working full time to earn £200K in your lifetime
but if someone handed you £200K at the age of 21 you wouldnt bother working becuase you have achieved that money.
fodandahalf said:HPM, the problem I find with all that money is the fact that I wouldn't have to work. I want to work; I want to be useful. I'm not alive just to survive, that's how lower order animals live. I like my lifestyle and I like working for it. Sure I could still work if I had that money, but I wouldn't need to- there'd be no challenge/ struggle and I like that.
And Seb, money isn't the root of all evil. I hate to flip it around, but people are. Money/ currency was originally a great and fair way of barter that people have destroyed. I'm not saying we're a failed species for it, I'm just saying it got a bit out of hand.

My challenge to you is look up the following:
1. Inflation
2. Price of rent over the last 50 years
3. Price of bread over the last 50 years
4. Minimum wage over the last 50 years
Also what happens after 30 years? the person would only be 51 in your scenario.
