anyone rich and still lonley?

Huh I sometimes think about that that money could solve my problems. This question triggers me too. Please someone answer it :)
 
How can money buy the things you want? Truthfully this is kind of a dumb question. Money can make you stress less cause you could afford things but thats it.

I have seen alot of rich people who are very lonely on top. Rich does not equate to friends/happiness. Happiness come from what you wanted to do with your one and single only life on this world. You are born to live for your passion, not money.

I wouldn't call myself rich but I make enough to cover all my expenses as well as investing for retirement with some extra cash to spare. And I haven't felt any difference in the loneliness category compared to before I started working. So I doubt it will be any different if I made 10 times as much as i do now.

Money would certainly end a lot of the big problems in my life that aren't SA related and that would make me a happier person. I wish I could say that SA was my only problem.

I have no money but even if i did i don't think it would make a difference....besides money is lame. I am very thankful that i am not one of those people who are driven by money!

It's easy to say that money is lame when you don't have a family to feed, you can find a job and your spouse's pay check hasn't stopped coming and you can pay off your bills. Money is actually very important.

I get irritated when people say that they don't need money. Like that kid who plays Hermione in Harry Potter. She was quoted saying that she doesn't have a need for money in her life which is a bunch of bull-shit. But if she insists then she can take her happy rich-ass to the bank and transfer all her money to me.

I'm not bitter that people are well off or rich. I am happy to know that there are people out there who have worked really hard to be successful and that they and their families do not have to struggle, but I do get pissed off when people say they don't need money or that money isn't important. I don't think money makes a person important but I money would solve all of my problems right now. As I've said earlier, I have more important problems than my SA.

i dont think thats what he meant when he said money is lame. i guess i feel the same way as barry does, but i dont mean that having money to buy food is lame! having money for basic things that everyone needs is not lame! its lame when you want 10x more than that. or when your whole purpose for working is just to get that super cool flat screen tv, or that new cellphone, or $500 jeans. I really dont need all that, im happy with basic things but of course a few nice things is ok... but its not needed. materialistic things is not what pushes me to go to school so i can get a good job. i just want to be able to support myself. and im also not driven by money. im more driven to have personal satisfaction in what i do and being able to take care of myself. again i dont see anything wrong with wanting to live comfortably, but for me personally i just dont need much or want that much. just enough for me and my kittehs.

I know money could HELP my problem, big time, not totally solve it though. Then, of course, LACK OF MONEY does the opposite, being homeless, living in a tent with other tents around you, that is painful. Thankfully I didn't experience that when I had my horrible SA, happened twice years ago though.

I think getting with a rich guy would solve my problems. It would solve the huge loneliness problem and I wouldn't have to worry about money anymore. I don't need money to buy expensive crap, I just want to feel secure. Having money wouldn't make my SA magically dissappear of course.

Well, being rich would certainly make my life a little easier, of course it won't solve my SA, but at least, I would be able to do some stuff like shopping when I am down and want to cheer myself up, or go back to school without having to worry about fees, or travel, which I really would love to do.

I get by, have a nice house etc but it does not change the fact that i am incredibly shy and a little social phobic...i don't think money matters at all it can make life easier in the materialistic sense i.e your home is comfortable, plenty of food, seldom bill worries etc but the most important things in life like meeting someone special and making some friends well, money has no value with any of that stuff.

I personally believe that if you are rich, it is very hard to feel lonely. That is because you are so busy. Making money is hard work, and keeping the money coming in is also hard.

Of course, you have to have somebody to go to Bermuda with you! I'm sure if you are rich, there are a lot of people who will want to take advantage of you, pretending they like you when they really don't.

But I think keeping busy is one of the best cures for loneliness. See my article here: Keys to Overcoming Loneliness
