is money everything?

Question

i haven't spoken to my cousins for the past 24 years because their parents don't want their children to talk to me.My cousins have been told not to speak to me because i am not rich.My aunt was so scared that if my cousin speaks to me i might bias him and he might marry me .Now she is happy because her children are married to rich people and she thinks she was successful in keeping me away

same is the case with other relatives,they don't want their children to talk to me but they expect me to attend weddings and other stuff

Answer 1

money isn't everything.... remember it can but a house but not a home!

Answer 2

i'm more worried about your statement that you want to marry your cousin! HUH?....

About the family feud.... yes, its hurtful. My aunt divorced (*gasps*, it was the FIRST divorce of the family) and then one side of the family wouldn't speak to my side of the family. Very dumb considering she was my aunt, not my mom! Anyways, both grandmas that feuded are now gone and the family can pick up the pieces. I am slowly getting to know my cousins and its cool. Your life is your life and no matter how the path leads you, it was all for the best. Marrying into your own family is not something that i would suggest to anyone (money or not). If this is a problem for you still, i would seriously suggest therapy. The mennonites and amish marry 2nd and 3rd cousins and thats all perfectly normal, but 1st cousins are not okay.


Good luck

Answer 3

It would seem you are from a culture in which marriages happen between family members and marriage unions are made for an improvement in one's social standing.

No...money is not everything. You cannot be happy with gold, lots of jewels, or some symbolic paper that has value.

It is important to have the means to take care of yourself. If you can't do that, then you have so many problems it's tough to survive and deal with other issues.

But, genuine like, love, and attraction has nothing to do with money.

It also sounds, by the way, that you think of yourself as quite irrisistable. You seem to think that if your cousin is exposed to your fememine power he'll be so overcome that he will just break down and marry you.

Answer 4

How sick and sad your cousins are, they are not happy young ladys they have all of the material things that count to them and their Mother who encourage her children to marrie for money and not for love.
Always remember you are the gift, and what they have is nothing more than things that will not last nor ever be able to stand up to the real test of life and that is the Gift Of True love, and you hold that Gift so very close to your Heart, and that is the Gift that will never wear out nor ever let you down if you stand true to it.
Your Cousins will fall and so will their marriages because they are not of truth, nor of love they are of material things.
Hold on to your dreams and to your truth and to your wonderful values, because they are the true powers of any Love.
One day your Prince Charming will walk into your beautiful life and he will fulfill all of your dreams,
Then stand back as time goes bye and look at your cousins that no longer have anything because they married for the wrong reason, and not the true reason and that is Love.
And you Beautiful Young Lady are of Love,
and not of deceitfullness
Keep to the truth of your inner most feelings and that is your very Gift of Loving as it will come to you, with the same power of truth.
God Bless You, and always remember you are the Gift of your life and to your marrage that one day will come to be, so settle for nothing but the truth and nothing less.

Answer 5

Look. i am poor. I think money is everything. I think money makes the world go round. I''m just tired of not having anything, but what they did was messed up. Just because i'm poor dosent mean i don't talk to rich people. I speak to all different types. and i wouldent do that to anybody

Answer 6

You know what? That is their idiotic problem. If I were you, I would not, for a second, worry about these people. Money is a lot of thing, but like the ol' cheesy say, it's not everything. If someone judges you by the amount of money you have then you must stop wasting your time thinking about them. They aren't worth it.

Answer 7

attend their wedding but don't give any gifts at all, if they ask why just say you are on the side of the poor family and cannot afford it, in the meantime work hard and try to be rich and if and when you are rich invite all of them to your wedding and show them off by inviting all your friends poor and rich alike and show them that money is'nt evrything in people life... while you are not rich yet show them how happy you are in fact show them you are much happier than they are!

Answer 8

ok let me get this right. why would you want to marry your cousin. second of all who care what she think. just live your life and no money not everything. if your cousins dont want to talk to you. then who care like i said live your life. it's there lost. i know it hurt because family shouldnt be like that. with each other. but that life. so i would say have fun with your life and if they dont want to talk to you just forget it. good luck

Answer 9

it isnt everything. people make it but you know that it can buy you friends but if something were to terribly go wrong and someone was to lose thier money there friends might leave them. life is what you make of it with what you have. they have a dumb problem that is stupid. if they want you to go to weddings they have to want to talk to you just dont go to the wedding.

Answer 10

Money, when used for good and when donated or given to people who desperately need aid and help... is absolutely everything.

Answer 11

money is everything to people now-a-days. people can be so rude, its pathetic. parents can't control everything forever, so i'm sure you can talk to them one day. just hang in there.
