I definitely think that family is more important than anything. I remember reading about Sam Walton’s final days and how he said that he was a failure because he had a son who wouldn’t speak to him and he had other family members who were just waiting for him to go to get a hunk of the fortune. When the focus is accumulating money I think it is very easy to find that one day you have gained the world but lost your soul.

I think MONEY is a necessary evil, however, money cant buy love or happiness. That I know first hand.

Thank you for sharing this.
Many thoughts ran through my mind because of my family background….

Money is the most common cause of family break-ups, that’s undeniable.

But one thing holds true, the unity of the family depends alot on the goals of every member. If its a common goal for every member, then issues of money will never break them up. It will be as simple as “so long as we are together as a family. We are happy. Even if it means to just eat bread.”

I’ve known of a couple individuals who won small lotteries several years ago. After a year or two they ended up in worse financial condition than what they had before winning. Family relationships reportedly became convoluted as one winner was trying to help some family, everybody wanted help, hard feelings emerged and not much of anyone was better off than they had been before. The winner got in such a bind he had to return to work at an age he needed to be thinking about retiring. Never knew how everything finally turned out for him after that.

Guess we’d like to think we’d be able to handle a sudden financial windfall, and maybe we would. On the other hand, that’s what those people thought, too.

You always make great points. Hubby plays the lotto every week and I always joke that I’m not sure I would want to win. I don’t know if it would make our life easier or more complicated. I don’t believe money equates happiness.

Though money can eliminate some stress from the bill paying public – it certainly can make things worse in the relationship department! I’ve often found that those from those who have less money can often have more secure relationships – though it isn’t always true, I believe that with money you learn to distrust the people around you because so many take advantage of you!

Thank you for the wonderful article. You words water the roots of our being. There are nothing more refreshing than the gathering of the family at a dinner table. I see that not as some personal achievement but the most precious gift, because if one would become sick, the family wouldn’t forsake him therefore, but would care with him in all possible ways, would overfill the unfortunate with the healing love. So can I say that comes from me? I am just the happy receiver.
Just one surprises me. As much as I have seen in my life, the desirable wellness typically freeze in the atmosphere at a dinner table, meanwhile the material poverty awake the sharing.
We all like to eat well, yet personally I would prefer stale loaf of bread from the hands of a friend to the delicious table in the loneliness with the angry passersby under the window.
