is it all about the money honey ?

when Mastercard said "there are somethings money can't buy .. for everything else there is Mastercard" they were giving us a lesson in life :) most of us have something called dollar dreams(no offense to other currencies.. dollar dreams just rhymes :P) all these dreams, aspirations mostly involve making more moolah..
how important is money.. is it worth the time and energy you spend in making it.. a friend of mine always says "money will always come at the cost of something.." i guess its true.. and that something is infinitely more dearer than the $ you make..
have you ever asked your self what would you do if someone was to give you a billion bucks.. how happy will that make you.. add to that a condition of spending all of that on yourself.. will that make you happier? money can only buy things which are on sale.. then why is it that we keep wanting more and more of money when most of us don't even know what to do with it?while i only have questions and not many answers.. its something to think about i suppose..
Unlike me some wise guy seemed to have figured this whole thing out.. he says“Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money.” :)
