i would take enough money to follow my dreams. aka open a B&B in southern Ireland and run said place for first year or so. but i already know that money can buy long term happyness. although happyness veries from person to person so to soem money might very well be able to buy happyness for some people.

Well, money certainly cannot buy happiness, but it can help to make life a little easier. If money grew on trees though, there would be too much of it, and it wouldn't be worth anything.
Didn't really answer your question though, did I? I think I'd probably get all I could (say it was a temporary thing...) because I could use some more!

Um... Money does grow on trees ( It's made of paper )...
But to be serious, I would take advantage and get all I could because I know what it's like not having it and I know I wouldn't become as easily corrupted as the ones born with alot ( not talking about every person that is wealthy ). I would have sympathy for the less fortunate, and would know what it feels like.

That is true money can't buy happiness, but it can afford a helpful therapist. I would live the life I have, but I'd plant the tree in my room, so no one would steal it or take money from it.

I honestly do not know what I would do. This is one of those questions where we like to be all idealistic and say that we wouldn't take it because money isn't everything or really frank and say that we would take it all and leave those other suckers to fend for themselves. But, I believe that we can't predict our behavior in situations like that. I like to think that I might take a reasonable amount and move on, but I have no idea what I might actually do. If there were lots of other people grabbing for it, I might just grab what I could take in the chaos. People act differently than they think they would, so I don't think this question can really be answered.

Money can't buy happiness nor health. Going back to your question, It's easy just to pick up money in trees and it's offered for you free, but I guess money that you earned is worth because you will take care of it than money given and will have all your vices with it.

If it did the government would be the only one allowed to grow them so no I wouldn't get all I could. :)
It would be illegal for the regular person to grow money trees.
Seriously the money tree already exists but the branches are much too high and the tree much too difficult to climb for most people to be able to reach all but the sparsely filled lower branches....

I don't think it would make a difference in my life at all.
If money grew on trees, then it's value would be diminished to the point of being worthless, so it wouldn't make any difference to ANYONE'S life.

I live by the motto 'All good things come to an end'. I would first get all the money I could safely hold on to. Save living for later. Trust me, if I'm getting all the money I want, life is good.

If money could grow on trees it would have very little value. Unless of course those trees would be hard to find or hard to grow!
Look at apples, oranges, or anything like them. since they grow naturally the value of them is very low.
Anyone willing to pay 100 dollars for an apple sould definately email me. I'll gladly sell you as many as you want!
