Money isn't everything (but it buys just about everything)

By David Bradshaw


 



Which is more important—money or relationships? Or does it really matter, when, if you put your mind to it, you can have both?


MOST people accept that if you want your life to improve you have to set goals.

At this point a lot of people confess that theyve no idea what goals to set.

That isnt a problem.

All you have to do is think of what you want, which can be divided, for most of us, into money and relationships. Money, as long as theres enough of the stuff, can be translated into virtually everything material: a car, a house, foreign travel—whatever you want. 

Relationships are one important area of life where money is said to be of no relevance.
But dont you believe it. Its a lot easier to attract people to share your life if youre comfortably off. Its even easier when youre rich.

Comfortable

Now, of course, many people will say that wealth can attract the wrong people for the wrong reasons. But I see no reason why your discriminatory powers should desert you just because you have more money than the average person.
