      You can get water for free out of a lake or stream, and you can keep yourself warm with an animal hide from something that you hunt and then eat - also for free.

      A bit extreme, but it's still possible.

      The argument that I'm more so interested in is not that money can or can't get you things you need in order to survive, but rather that money does NOT equate to happiness, though our modern society seems to disagree. It's sad.

        Hey man, all I know is, I've worked my ass off for 21 years in education and I've got the perfect job that pays me a whole bunch of money, I'd say I'm pretty happy.

          That's great - but is it what you're doing, or the money that is making you happy? Is it the reward of teaching that is fulfilling, or when you look at your students do you see dollar signs?

          I bet it's not all about the money. And that's the point. Money isn't what matters, and people need to stop obsessing over it.

            Money can buy "free time" though, and I think that's what more people are after these days
