Hello champs of poundtown! *

Guy Pearce, quite famous actor and Australian great bloke, would rather have more sex.

Now I know all of you guys and gals** are pounding the mattress, delivering the dollars and fanning the fame flames at levels which would put non-liars to shame but if you had to have even more sex, money or fame which would you choose?

* a-ha!

given Guy pearce probably has more money in his bank account today than i will ever earn in my life it is fair to say he wont have the same perspective as i have.

money for sure for me. Fame? sod that i do not want it, and sex.......... well, if you have enough money you can get all the sex you want ;)

imo people who say money cant buy happiness have never been truly skint. Maybe it has truth to it but at the same time, money can certainly remove a lot of the barriers to happiness and can reduce a lot of misery.
 
First you get the money.
Then you get the powah.
Then you get the wimming.

I thought this was already well established.

I think that may get misinterpreted. Obviously in the real world having "enough" money will lead to a much less stressful and difficult life than not having enough money. To me I think the point is more that obsessively pursuing more money at the expense of all else will not in itself bring happiness.

no argument from me there however i have seen it patronisingly used more than once by people with significantly more money than the person they are saying it too (had it used against me once when complaining about a less than inflation pay rise).

but sure, i too cant understand people with more money than they could realistically spend themselves still working themselves to the bone missing out on family life etc.

it isnt what i would do (hell i would retire at the end of this year when i lose my job if i could get enough money in passive earnings to take me through to my pension......... but sadly i cant!)

but to each their own.

Agree with you here. It's easy to say when you're comfortable/ don't have to make serious choices every day that mean you are overdrawn at month end.
