Something To Show For It All


wealthymatters‘In relationships, when you spend your emotion, time, and efforts with one person over another, you have lost the potential of some other relationship working, perhaps better than this one. If this relationship doesn’t work out, then you should have something to show for it.’-Ginie Sayles

Sayles Speak


wealthymattersPeople who are not mercenary in a relationship are not superior. By not being mercenary, they have placed a value on how they can be treated in a relationship. Whether they like it or not, they have said that it doesn’t cost anything to be with them, that they have a zero dollar value.’-Ginie Sayles

Men And Their Excuses


wealthymattersA diamond ring might not be number one on every woman’s wish list of gifts from her SO.But who amongst us doesn’t enjoy gifts?Personally I find generosity very appealing.And I don’t just mean generosity in the sense of large numbers or even large figures as a proportion of income,savings,net-worth etc.There is something as the perceived intention of the gift ,the time,thought,attention and effort that have gone into procuring it and the the hopes and the freeness with which it is given.The calculation seen behind so many of these responses (Link)is so very repelling.Whats so great about receiving conditional gifts?And do we really want to be with people who judge us by our gift preferences?And where there is a convergence of personal values where is there any scope for any negative judgments?

Thought For The Day


wealthymattersThe secret to making money isn’t working at a high-paying job, it’s finding creative solutions to people’s problems, and it doesn’t take a fancy degree to do that.
