- shard 6y agoReminds me of the girl who said, "I would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_would_rather_cry_in_a_BMW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_would_rather_cry_in_a_BMW
- toddh 6y agoSounds like something you might say at the beginning of your life and shake your head at later in life.
- quickthrower2 6y agoBut you’ll be shaking your head in a Jaguar, hopefully. (Personally I’m not into cars so all this seems silly to me!)
- Jetrel 6y agoI feel like a much better quote, which really hits on the more meaningful parts of it is this one, attributed to a "Helen Gurley Brown": "Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort." Money may not bring you fulfillment, or love, etc. But currently, it can decisively solve most of Maslow's hierarchy-of-needs (with a few exceptions like illness). The unhappiness from having a hole in Maslow's hierarchy is a pretty bitter, cruel thing - especially if reaches the point of losing family members or friends.
