When someone says, 'It's not the money, it's the principal', nine times out of ten it's the money.

More like ten times out of ten - The odd time it is about the principal the principal is having the satisfaction of having the other buggers money off 'em!

I think 50% time it is about the money.
50% b/c to the one that owes the money...
they think it is all about the money...
and the other 50% thinks it the principle of it, LOL
Maybe but not all cases. I mean if you borrowed money from a friend or racked up a bill on them this shows disrepect and abuse of a friendship or relationship. My daughter racked up our phone bill over a year ago. ($400) I told her when she got a job she would have to pay us pack. So, the phone bill has long been paid by us and now she has a job but she never approached us and said, Mom, Dad what can we work out? She never even mentioned it. So, I brought it up to her and she got mad and through her paycheck at me and said "here take it all if you care so much about the money" I tried to convince her it wasn't about the money but the principle and she never believed me. She just thought I wanted to take her money. I would have been satisfied with $5 payments, lol. But that day she through $80 at me. Since she is buying shcool clothes right now I am giving her a break but I am trying to teach her responsibility. I could care less about the money. Once I rented a room to a friend and her daughter. she was soposed to pay me $300 a month. She was right on time the first month but then the second month came and went...and I started scratching my head. This $300 dollars was not income for me it was to cover the expensives of food and utilities for having two more people in the house. I had to ask her what was going on and she got really mad at me and said all I cared about was the money. I told her no it wasn't and that I felt it insincere for her to put me in the position of having to ask that she should have told me if she needed more time or if she was having trouble with money so we could work it out. She got even more mad at me then, lol! She said she just simply forgot b/c she was going through a hard time....We ended up really getting into it...she called me a liar and so I kicked her out. So I think that no matter what you shouldn't do business with friends b/c even when it isn't about the money to you...it is to the one that owes the money.

If you said, Principle, I cannot answer. But, for Principal, it has to be YES. Principal is more important than any money that you make out of it! (!!!!)

False, and I bet everyone who said true is under 18. I'll bet you $1 but it's not the money!

no its the principal money doesnt control everybodies little minds , and its quite a generalization to answer your own question.Rather judgemental as well to select a certain group of greedy people and think everybody is the same.

Mostly true. But it usually depends on the amount of money involved.

Your right!
If it was the "principal", then they should donate the money that is won, from the lawsuit, to a charity of thier choice...
But, most are just vindictive and will say anything to get thier hands on a huge sum of money to placate thier "loss"...
I wish you well..
