Despite common wisdom to the effect that money can?t buy happiness it is certain that many people
believe that enough money could make them happier than they are. Many people squander huge amounts
of time and energy, thinking about and trying to acquire money because of this belief. Even when they
are reasonably well off, people often make increasing acquisition and control of money a higher priority
than either self actualization or cultivation of relationships - leading to many of the personal and
interpersonal problems associated with money. |

I imagine like most of us that I'd like obscene amounts of money but the people I met and worked with who have those obscene amounts of money and have obscene amounts of fame have awful lives. Really. I mean hideously compromised lives. And I can go anywhere. No one knows who I am. |

Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization. |

There is some information that an actor doesn't need, and that's okay. I can't control everything. I don't want to control everything. Sometimes, you want to control everything, and you want to know the size of the lens and stuff like that. I am so relaxed as an actor because I don't want to control everything. I just want to control my part. |

People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today. |

If you have the feeling of choice, if you feel free, you will be better off. And when I say better off I mean that if people feel they have control over their lives, they call in for fewer sick days from work. They have a lesser probability of having a heart attack or stroke. They live longer. They're happier. |

Please, all you MCs out there, all you fans out there, don't think Big gonna make a record dissing 2Pac or the West Coast because it's not going down like that. I cant even see me wasting my time or my talent to disrespect another black man. |

I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. |

I'm not sure. I do think its more likely that those born in money have an attitude that they're family is smarter and harder working than the less fortunate. But they certainly didn't make their fortune giving money away.
But those who don't have money probably don't share their money either. But I think they would better understand what being in the bottom of the 99% lives like.
It really comes down more to how one was raised. People who are raised well are just good people. You don't see shitty snobby kids from parents that teach lessons and enforce boundaries.

Most people who don't want to do the PhD realize that they can leave and make a lot of money early on. The people who really want to do research and stay usually value money less.

Another psychological approach to understanding people?s involvement with money was offered in
a financial magazine. This article (Sullivan, 1994) presented a classification of money personalities based
on a survey of 2,000 people?s ?inner financial life.? It divided people into seven personality
classifications as follows: 1) Hunters, who are characterized by an aggressive attitude toward the making
spending and investing of money and who tend to have unsettled personal lives and a higher than average

The Consequences of the Money Taboo
The Money taboo is a serious psychological problem because, though we do not talk freely about
money, it is of major concern to almost everybody in America. This taboo keeps people from finding
money?s proper place in their lives. It keeps them from balancing their financial needs with other needs;
such as love, family, self expression, self esteem, meaningful work and physical or emotional health. If
people can recognize and overcome their irrational or ...

In this author?s experience, patients will rarely bring up money issues unless the therapist is willing
to focus attention on them him /or herself. There is only one kind of therapy where discussion of money
and how we relate to it, and to each other because of it, often comes up: marital therapy. It comes up
there because disagreements over money and stresses connected to it are the most common reasons for
marital discord. That, to a significant extent, is the result of the money taboo which results in lack of

The Taboo Against Dealing With Money Issues
Why is it that the literature regarding the psychological meaning of money is so scant? As sated
previously, there is a taboo regarding the subject of money in our society, to which psychotherapists are
not immune. We Americans may complain about taxes, discuss the prospects of Social Security and brag
about the great bargains we found or the killings we made in the stock market, but we seldom discuss
our incomes, our indebtedness or, more general...

In 1908 Freud identified money with feces and mad a connection of money to anal eroticism. He
also wrote (1917) of the unconscious, symbolic connection of money, through transformation of the
instincts, with penises, babies and gifts. Ferenczi (1952) wrote about the ontogenesis of the interest in
money as a progression from interest in feces though increasingly sublimated interests in mud, sand,
prettily shaped and colored pebbles, more sophisticated collectibles and finally money. According to

Seems like they only put money and effort into working on the parts where they ask for my credit card instead of trying to make a useful platform that people actually like.
