I think that's only unhealthy if you can't afford it.

Apart from people like possibly Mr Bill Gates, even the very rich gets trapped into overspending. Just look at how many stars and such gets into financial problems... and they have like millions and millions, and they just blew it all...
On the other hand... there's people who hoard the money... I remember there's this really filthy rich guy... and he made a bed of his money and refused to spend it. He died of starvation. This was decades ago... 90s?

i think some of my SA comes from feeling inadequate as a provider. so for me i think money would help, but i would not want to be rich. I would however love to be out of debt and have enough money to live my life humble.

Yes they can. A lot of the good stuff in life isn't available to people who doesn't have money. Personally, I'd be very happy if I could buy my own house, a yatch and a convertible. If this wouldn't get me at least a stable relationship, then there's always mail order brides that could marry me for the money.

I don't know if to laugh or cry dude...
I'm broke and lonely. Who wants to give me a damn hug?
Everyone seems to have a different perception of money. I too react a little to those who are too dismissive of money. Certainly it doesn't buy happiness, but money isn't necessarily for spending, at least not for me.
For me it represents security and opportunity. Without money, opportunities in life are fewer and far between. I know I can sleep a lot easier knowing I have an emergency fund and can feed, cloth and house myself if I ever loose my job.
I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either. I've set very clear financial goals for myself and I'm working hard to achieving them. It's not an empty, soulless exercise that some here make it out to be.
It's not going solve my SA problems as everyone here agrees, but it'll mosdef help as long as one has a responsible attitude towards money.
It's too easy to abuse money, especially if you have it and especially if you happen to suffer from SA, I know, I've been there.
Having money is not the panacea to our emotional lives that we are all seeking. If anything, having money and maintaining it is far more stressful than not having money.
I agree though, you can have a happy, fulfilling life without money and many do, but to not own up to the responsibilities of your own fiscal well being, whether it is to get fabulously rich or to just live humbly on a small nest egg, is a sin in my opinion.
Just my two sense

If you had tons of money I am willing to bet that most of the problems you have will be reduced to nothing. For example I have hyperhidrosis, my biggest problem in life. I'd make the perfect home with perfect air conditioning such a beautiful villa and i will have the best drs. and psychiatrists to help me out (I am very sure I would find a solution). Heck you can buy friends if you have tons of money (i don't need lecturing about they're not real friends crap etc. i know that but money would definitely make u much less lonely)

If I was rich, or well-off (upper middle class maybe), I'd be at least one third of the way to happiness. That's just my opinion though, and I wouldn't feel happy unless it was the result of hard work doing what I love to do.
Well here you go..! not in a gay way though.. just a friendly bear hug.
Thanks dude :

I have been thinking about this. Does money buy happiness? Well i have never been short of money, i have my car and 4x4 which is parked most of the time because i have no one to go with, i have my factory that i am not going to anymore.
Money sure can buy pleasure, money can buy you cocaine or a double mac with french fries but thats only pleasure, pleasure lasts for a while like organism but disappears leaving you back in the same empty low. People dont even know the difference between happiness and pleasure. You can never have pleasure without pain like you can never have love with out hate,we always have the opposites to go with it, you wont understand your love brings hate unless your GF or BF ditches you. So money never buys happiness but if you want all the pleasures society promises you then sure you do need money but happiness is a state of being content and not feeling disturbed. If your disturbed then you need loads of pleasure to run away into and keep yourself distracted.
So i think its better to have money and be miserable than have nothing and still be miserable but you can be certain that money will never buy happiness.

I wouldn't say I'm "rich", but I grew up in a nice middle-towards-upper class home and my parents generally support me financially through school (well, they pay for my tuition), though I need a job to pay for rent/spending money. I have never tended to be a money fiend in my life, which is one of the few things about myself that I am truly proud of. My family tries to bring me up to be this well-to-do business/money-oriented type of guy, but I'm not like that at all and realize all the problems my family has because they do preoccupy themselves with financial and material matters constantly. I guess I'd call myself the 'artistic' one. I get chided for it by family members sometimes (i.e. "Why aren't you studying business/medicine" blah blah blah). But anyway, I'm wandering off here...
I consider myself relatively pampered but it has no impact on my shyness. No luxury has ever really brought fruitfulness to my life.
