What are some important things that money can't buy?

Question

I kind of agree with you Gubba. But, let's say I have an infinite amount of money, and I hire a bunch of people with the mission of building an airplane that runs on "cold fusion". Who the heck knows if cold fusion is even possible. I can't really buy the unknown.

Answer 1

The most important thing is love and friendship. Many people have found out that if they have a lot of money that it is difficult to know for sure if someone really cares about them or their money.
Love to me is the most important because if you are not loved and able to give love then what do you have? Really nothing!

Answer 2

In point of fact, most of the important things can be bought.

Look, it does sound rather cynical, but the simple fact is:

1. The higher your income, the better your chances of finding a desirable life partner.

2. The higher your income, the better health care you receive:
thus, you live longer and healthier.

3. The higher your income, the more you can control your life and create the job you want for yourself that makes you happy.

4. The higher your income, the more you can travel and/or buy all the little chotskies that we all love to collect.

5. The higher your income, the more you are able to really make a difference and to help others who are in need.

Sighs. It's discouraging, but true: life boils down to the economics.

Answer 3

What the brainwashers tell us is that money can't buy happiness. But survey after survey tells us differently.
As to confidence, etc., those are LEARNED traits, so you could hire someone to TEACH you to be confident.
Money can buy knowledge, but it CAN'T buy wisdom.
In surveys that ask men/women why they marry, the top 9 out of 10 reasons why a woman marries a man has to do with money (job, reputation, etc.)
So, there is not much money can not buy; it can't buy wisdom, it can only buy so much health. For most things (glaucoma, diabetes, arthritis, Lou Gehrig's disease, Down's Syndrome, etc., etc., there is no cure, so for all those hundred's of millions of people, money CAN NOT buy good health.

Answer 4

"But money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means for the satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of the men who attempt to reverse the law of causality--the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind.

Money will not purchase happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants: money will not give him a code of values, if he's evaded the knowledge of what to value, and it will not provide him with a purpose, if he's evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent."
