For me its like two different school of thoughts. For myself I just want to live in today...tomorrow...yar khair hai....its like will see "if tomorrow comes", so just want to do everything for the particualr moment.

But looking family around me..thn the whole perspective change. Whole paradigm shift. Health, family, happiness, fundamental needs ..all referred back to money and making enough for your beluvd family. Thn u look for saving options, investment bla bla bla....

But still i believe with in my heart tht its alwys small things which makes one happy. and if we cannot enjoy small things and try to look for more material stuffs..thn we actually forget how to be happy...we keep doing better and better and our craving for more keeps increasing ..and we remain dissatisfied.

"Live Happy for Today...and Leave the rest to Allah."

But thinking practically the first question is why are we here away from our family ,relatives,our country.......We are here to earn money to have a good life and a secure future so that we can give a better lifestyle to our kids and live peacefully and independent when we are old.....we are here to secure our selves....and staying healthy is in our hands its we who can decide how to live a better lifestyle by staying healthy and wealthy.....

A life unexamined is not worth living

thats so true having a budget never works out for me i have turned a shopoholic i reach the market and my list just multiplies..... 

A life unexamined is not worth living

let the opportunity drive in....

thanks a lot and will think about the manager thing.

are you guyz out of work ..or on QL on company time ???

swissgirl you get a merit award for keeping so many ppl engrossed in a never ending thread.

you should be a communications manager in some company !!! 

As i mentioned ... we still want to earn more money to protect our family future .. for single i don't know but for those who has family needs some savings !

it really depends on person to person ... some live for money not for family or friends those people are just greedy !

i know.I am talking about why most of us are not confident with those we have.If we already earn a good amount why we still want more and more?

Thats my point.

"No Money No Honey" :)

Money doesnt bring happiness, but it defenitely helps u 2 look in more places to find happiness....

Money is nothing if u hav lots of it, n everything if u dont hav enuf... 

Who dares,wins!

3 part time jobs ?? How many hours do you work in a day !

Coming to your point .... I believe money plays a major role in anyone's life !

There is a quote: No Life Without Wife ... but I say No Wife Without Money ..

One point i do agree with you, that person should not involve himsel that much in earning money that he forgets about his family/ his health/ his friends and ofcourse the needy people ... if the money earned and not spend on these thing then there is no use of earning money in life 

Coz no one gonna take money with him once his soul depart from his body ! soul carries your deeds to God not Money.  

but to run a successful life and healthy family you need to have some source of income... so that the future for family is secure !

but I know what you mean. Women tend to take everything to heart more so than men...not saying men don't feel things but women have it ingrained in them as caretakers...And sometimes the most innocently asked questions have some very deep roots.

you are jobless???  well ask around on here..maybe someone can help your situation also...

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

just wishing you the best of things...and never think that asking for outside help is bad or weak..in fact, its one of the strongest things one can do for your own self.

Salax, your advice is good for minor problems,..but sometimes things get to a point that family is too close to the matter...and a person who isn't involved personally, is the best one to talk to, especially if they are medically trained.

Rather be healthy and rich than sick and poor.....;)

WE SPEND THE GOOD TIMES OF OUR LIFE TRYING TO EARN MONEY AT THE COST OF OUR HEALTH AND RELATIONS. LATER, WE USE THE SAME MONEY TO SAVE OUR HEALTH AND RELATIONS

[img_assist|nid=17892|title=http://braveatheart.blogspot.com/|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=135]

and that's a good thing...in the right proportions...know what you can handle and what you can't...sometimes you have to take a few steps back from a situation to view it properly....rather like missing the forest for the trees...

You have a great heart, don't change that...just be aware of your limitations.

and supernurse just gave some very good advice..ourside help can really put you on the right track with life.

mmmm maybe you should seek medical advice.....

but i cant controll it or stopp it.

thoughts comes and goes.

well i think i should not take them to seriously sometimes.

they confusing me a lot.

that's true...last time Alexa and I went shopping we DID buy a pinch collar for you..but we forgot to put it on you on the dhow trip...darn it.

Learn to accept that everyone has trouble in their lives and the best we can do is be there to help them with however we can...sometimes just listening is the best help ever...Try not to take on someone else's problems tho as it can drag you down into the mud and you might get stuck both mentally and physically.

Do what you can for people, always care for them...but at the same time, take care of yourself and know your limits...as women we tend to take on more than we can actually bear...and then we end up in trouble emotionally.

Everyone has crosses to bear, no matter how rosy their lives look like from the outside looking in...those that have tons of money, might not ever know love...or even be happy...those that are dirt poor, might be the happiest people in the world...Always remember, never to judge a book by its cover but by what's inside.

and believe me i have seen enough in my life.

not everyone is blessed like you

so just enjoy your days.

am happy for you.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

Alexa, I feel it maybe the only solution!

  oh you want me to believe that no way, hmm more like a money waster :D

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

the specialists are called psychiatrists......they deal with messed up people....

we spend it quite well, thank you...its all in the experience...trust me!!

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

hm.but where are those specialists?

maybe you can ask Alexa about Harz4 and all that.

She can explain you better i think.

Here is similar.

Maybe am looking at it from the wrong side,but still making me mad.

OK I am going home after hard day's work. Looking forward to Sleeping like a Dog:)

ladies and money never go together  :?

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

with the choices we make in life, we have to deal with the outcome. there's nothing wrong helping anyone but we have to teach them how to help themselves. otherwise their lives will continue to be miserable.

and i agree if u want to change your life you can definitely do it.

why worry about other people if it makes you bitter and twisted, best worry about yourself, there are people trained to sort other peoples problems out.....

maybe because they are my friends,or i just know them a bit but i dont want to see them sad.Everybody sees Swiss as one of the richest countrys.Ok maybe somewhere is all the money(just thinking about the UBS ghetto)but for sure it is not the paradise as everybody thinks.

Alexa - What so special about a 60 year old studying for G.C.E (O/L) exam :)

swiss, why take everyone elses problems on your shoulders? Let them get on with it, if theres nothing to be done what to do?

to become a place at Uni is hard cos many already having problems in the regular scool.But they are not bader then the other ones.

so congrats to your hubby.he is a cool and blessed one.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

Alexa - I am 60 and still studying for The G.C.E (O/L) exam :)

look,for example i have an office mate,a very nice woman,but she has just few to survive but 3 kids to take care of them.

and some days back after work i saw her crying because she did not know how to survive this month with nothing.she is really working very hard.

but nobody is helping her.she must help herself.

i invited her to my home for lunch and now we try to find a way to make some more money for her.

 very funny.not everybody is blessed with rich parents to support the college career.And how about the older ones.In the age of 40 or older?

Do you still want them to go to college?

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

its just my way of thinking and i find it a bit unfair.but it is how it is.

they for sure know it better where to donate that all.

so let them do their job.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

aside from the daily basics, people just need money coz you'll never know what happens next... 

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.  ~Charles Schulz

just advise them to go to college, study for a while and then get a job! Simple!

it is because many of my very good and close friends having big problems to buy their bills,or to find a job.they are suffering a lot and i cant help them.as much as i want.they are good persons,with a good heart and mind but that does not help them.

i said im not talking about myself.but it makes me mad to look at it.

thats all.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

LOL Swissgirl. There are Trust Funds to manage large donations. They may be donating to 'Cancer' or 'Aids' or any such places but if ever I get to meet Bill Gates in person I will let him know that his money is really needed by swiss poors. Hope you will sleep well with this knowledge.

easy say than done

so dont worrie about me.

thank you.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

wtf are you on about? are you pi$$ed up or something?

a big party everyday.easygoing.and alll this.

sorry if i have another point of view.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

so it seems it found not his way to Swiss to the poor ones here.

Strange.

I wish i clould help them,to support them but myself have just few but still am trying to help those in troubles.

Maybe i must be more selfish,then for sure i would be much better also in the finiancial situation.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

where would we be without money?! work hard play hard!

Well Swissgirl those who are loaded may not help a single child on street but they may be donating millions to sick and poor children. Don't be disillusioned. Even Bill Gates has donated more than 50% of his earned money.

Swissgirl, those who have workaholic tendency might not be working for money at all. Men work because they get satisfaction out of working. It is where all the action is going on. Men don't think like women. They don't enjoy decorating houses (unless they are paid for it as in 'Interior desiginig'. )

the benefits of others.they will not help if someone in troubles is crying,nor feed a hungry child on the street.but the poor ones which have just few to survive will give the last thing to help someone.

so am more happy and proud of my poor friends.

they know how to care.

what if she or he is married7having kids?

is it ok to spend the most time in the office/at work?

just to earn a few more bucks?

for me its not.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

.... don't worry about tomorrow because GOD will take care of that... this is what I believed.

[img_assist|nid=90050|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=161]

Nothing is free nowadays...we need money for our food, shelter and clothing. these are basic needs. the loss of money leads people to poverty and out in the streets, homeless.  this is the essential for survival. for good health, you need food to sustain it, a balanced meal (you buy food in grocery or fresh markets);  some maintenance such as vitamins and other supplements (you buy these things in pharmacy). if you need to seek medical assistance to check your condition you certainly need doctor's fee.

so is it not a major concern to our daily lives? 

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.  ~Charles Schulz

Most people work hard because they want to. Money may not always be the driving factor behind hard work. Money is just a consequence.

i dont care much about it.a few bucks more or less,who cares?

am not hunting for more and more.

am in peace with what i have.

so i cant understand why some are never confident with the present situation.Can money protect us from getting older or from death?

I dont think so.

we are all lost souls ..could you enlighten us ..without cash how do we make it up to any point in life !! You definatly always had it provided to you but earning it and enjoying that feel has been missed out by you !!!

including the very philosophical write ups you send across ..the laptop you are using and the adsl connections too need money ...

think about it ..

IMHO, in cultures where earning money is traditionally a male domain, I guess saving and earning money takes first priority.  Earning money does not mean ignoring health but some sacrifice on personal and family front may be there.
