More money honey

7 Comments

I am obsessed with making money. I mean everyone needs money to survive in life, but I seem to take it to the extreme. My job is "okay" pay-wise, and my husband makes "good" money too. But I still want more! The sad thing is, I will work my ass off to get it. I put in hours upon hours of overtime for several months. The cheques were good, but he almost devorced me. Why can't I just be happy with what we've got?

    So to the person who is writing this. How do you make money? If you always want to make some lets say you are not working how are you making it?

    You have to find out what is driving this obsession. You've found out that money is not making you happy. It's making you crazy. How much is enough? Can you be happy in your life without a lot of money? Within yourself of course and in your relationship? If you are trying to keep up with your "ideal", you will always miss it. What matters to you the most in this world?

    Why do you want money? Is it because you want to have a big house with nice things? Do you have expensive tastes and hobbies? Are you a generous person who doesn't want to have to worry about how much she spends? Or do you literally just like having it for the sake of having it?

    If you want more money to buy more things, you need to know that it won't ever satisfy you. No matter how nice your stuff is, there will always be a bigger screen TV to upgrade too. It's called the hedonistic treadmill, and it never end. If you want more money just because like seeing all those zeros in a row, maybe it gives you a sense of accomplishment. Like if life was a game, money is a way of keeping score for you. That alsowill backfire, since gaining money for the sole purpose of having it isn't a very good priority.

    As long as you've got all your needs covered with a little extra for security, you should be fine. You definitely need to work on your perception of what's enough.

      Thanks for your post. I want more money now cause we're struggling to pay our bills and make ends meet. We work a lot of long hours, yet we don't seem to have any money left over :( It sucks big time. I also want more things like clothes and enterntainment, etc... I hate the way I'm living now! It blows :(

    If you love money more than your husband and end up sacrificing a relationship for cash earning opportunities you have some decisions to make about your priorities and marriage. If in the end you will never be happy settling for anything but lots of dough, and that will only make your marriage unhappy, you might need to reconsider your marriage. Pursue counseling, but you may simply have incompatible values.

    Obviously money gives a sens of acomplishment, but do you feel the need to just gadher more or actually spending it on something?
