As someone once said, “I've been poor and unhappy and I've been rich and unhappy… rich is better.”
El dinero no da la felicidad, pero ayuda a superar el complejo de su ausencia.

The money does not bring happiness, but it helps to overcome the complex of its absence

Money buys you health. Don't fall for the propaganda that it doesn't. If your parents have money, your health when born is more likely to be good.

A child from a poor family is more likely to have an inadequate diet, suffer from intellectual starvation and live in damp housing.

So, children from wealthy families are more likely to reach adulthood in better health. This sort of patern holds throughout life. If illness strikes, the rich have better access to health resources, and in the event of terminal diseases will be able to afford better treatment, and above all, will be able to access new technologies unaffordable by the masses.

OK, what does money buy?

Money buys good food, good wine, excellent housing, foreign holidays, cars, it pays for your hobbies, theatre, books, music etc etc etc.

If that isn't happiness, then it will do quite nicely till the real thing comes along.

Will it buy love? Of course it will. There is a category of women who are drawn as tho by a magnet to a fat wallet, and who become sexually aroused in the presence of money. The danger is tho that after their meal ticket is stamped, ideally by them getting pregnant with a little consumer of their own, the money is no longer the aphrodisiac it was.

In the long run you are probably better off financially paying the going rate, about 30 euros a shag.

Usually this is a class thing. Working class types tend to piss the money up the wall asap, middle class invest it.

that statement you refer to is just a translation of another posters earlier statement made in Spanish

I have a fat wallet, but its full of receipts and not money,
do u think the girls will notice ??

I think they are quite good at spotting that sort of thing.

Mind you, 30 euros will buy you half an hour of love.....

I have said before, and say again, I would rather be broke in a country with a good welfare system and a crap climate than be destitute in the sun.

Money does not buy happiness, but it makes unhappiness much more comfortable.

then I had better get on to my solicitor,
my ex got more than half an hour but only settled for lots more than 30 euros

Yes, the last phase of sexual activity is the most expensive. They are

Anywhere
Bedroom
Hallway
Courtroom

The first is in the first flush of enthusiasiam where you do it anywhere and everywhere, while the second is the more habitual form.

Hallway sex is where you pass in the hallway and say "***** you!"

Courtroom sex is where you really get screwed like never before...

Having just crossed myself because it didn't happen to me, it did happen to a good friend of mine, a Dutchman who runs a business here on the Costa Blanca.

I was with him when his 14-year old son came to visit from Holland. After the boy left I asked him how long he had been with the boy's mother.

'Not long,' he said and then sat silently with a piece of paper.

'It cost me £1,000 pounds a shag,' he finally said.

That was an expensive rental.

a tennis player who practices in a broom cupboard ??

Yeah, that was probably the most expensive way to empty your nuts, eh?

and it happens so often he couldnt remember which cupboard, which girl, until he was presented with the dna report and court
