How much does it take?

shuyin1

It' Friday and with all the time in the world and nothing to do, let me pose ye good folks of AH - how much would it take to say meh to money? Like if say you lost a fiver, would you be sad. What's this magic number?

This was inspired by amazon screwing around with my orders and missing a load of delivery dates. They offered a fiver as a "goodwill" gesture which I refused. Fiver lost would be missed, but this virtual fiver meant nothing.

My magic number is a euro.

Depends on how much money i have but seeing as i earn my money the hard/foolish way, i don't like losing any of it. I love finding a 50 in the pocket. Oh yeah...

I hadn't heard of that before, but who throws out a hard drive without checking what's on it?

Time is more important than money.

When you have enough money.

Money is more important than time.

When you have enough time.

If you have approximately 800'000 in a straight up bank account with an on-demand interest rate of 7% (you'll get it with such a deposit), you can afford a relatively simple but comfortable lifestyle on interest earnings alone. That's the magic number to be free........after that you have all the time in the world.

Until you die.

F**k money. It's only worth what we say it is. Bits of paper with squigly shiny drawings with nothing behind it to back it up. People laugh at religion and make-believe while digit paper money is the biggest make believe fairy-tale magic religion of them all.

Yeah, I just read some reports on it. I'm shocked that anyone would do that, there could have been all sorts of things on it.

Remember a german (?) a few years back who had bought some bitcoin, subsequently forgot about it for years until he read about the increase in value. He had forgotten his password over the years and spent like 2 or 3 weeks trying out every combination of password until he finally lucked out on it.

He netted himself like 100 odd grand, bought himself an apartment. Imagine the sweats trying to remember that password!

You can give them to me so.

I'm fond of poker and sports betting so I'd be pretty numb to money. You have to be really. Losing hundreds in seconds would have no effect on me. Would I rather have the money sure but whatever.

If I had it and you wanted it F I actually would. Loads of money would be no good to me, I'd probably be dead within three months if I did have it.

Depends on the context. Somebody rammed into the side of the wife's car a few months back with her and the kids in it. Was expensive to repair the car but the family walked away without a scratch so even though it's not an amount you'd exactly throw away, it was still relatively meaningless.

Your health is your wealth. Not perfect, but theres a lot to be said for it, an awful lot.

No figure but herself's brother got enough to buy a house in cash from her Dad.
And we got nothing.

So whatever I can accumulate before I depart, I will split it 50/50

So at the moment, they'll get a fiver each.

For me, I'd like enough in the bank that when I fall off the perch herself is taken care of.

So 1.25 mill, plus batteries.

Bob Geldof said he only needed fúck you money.

Just enough so that if someone comes to you with a deal or job you don't like, you can say "fúck you"
