That may be your opinion, but I'm with Hawkie on this. I personally know of a couple whom started out living in squatter houses, who now are decent off. They married young after coming back from university. Early day's of marriage life, after paying rent for their house, they didn't even have money to purchase furniture for it. Food? Bread for at least one meal a day.
Money is everything? In their 30+ years of marriage, not once have they quarreled (if any at all) about money.
I say it is more the individual, how much importance each individual places on materials be it certain lifestyle or certain objects, how this said individual perceives their status and self-worth. There are people that draw self-worth and status from things
When you take away these things, suddenly there is a huge gap and they feel left out, social outcast, the misfit.
These are the people that quite likely will say, "I need xxx amount of money in order to be happy"
fully agree, however I've never ever mention to marry a rich husband so we can buy LV bags and drive BMW, I was stressing on the point of security, you know where you;re heading and you know your children would live comfortably, not luxury which I do not believe in training my kids to be, but comfortable where we dun worry about whats for dinner tomoro.Money is everything?
