Money is definently the most important to me. I've grown up with it my entire life and if someone tries to take it away from me now, I'd have nothing. Friends is second on my list because I like having friends and all, but unlike money, they always just come and go. And last on the list for me is family because unlike most families, my family is full of absolute jerks whom I really can't stand. Everyone plays favorites and everyone is always extremely negative. My grandparents frown upon my mom just because she makes a lot more than her sister! Shouldn't parents be proud of their child's accomplishments? Not in this family! It's so messed up... So, which is the most important thing to you and why did you choose it?

Couldn't you have put in a 'Friends AND Family option'?!? I could NEVER decide between the two! :cry:

Family. No question or doubt in my mind about that whatsoever. I wouldn't mind friends but compared to my family they can go whistle.

Money is the most important to me. I'm making up ads for odd jobs that I can do, in both my new neighbourhood and my current one, after I move into my own apartment. I have a hobby that's a bit on the expensive side, and I'm saving up to travel to London, so I can ride me old Double deckers on #s 9 and 15 before it's too late. I also buy Lottery Tickets, because I dream of being a Multi-Milloinaire. It's too bad that I've quit my job at the Factory. I'd probabley be half way there, right now.

Out of those options, I'd choose money. I don't plan on having a lot of money though, just enough to be comfortable in life.

There are other things I value over money though, like making a contribution to society, and having time to myself.

On the list of things I value, money is at the near bottom.
Money doesn't make me happy. My friends, family and spiritual fullfillment does.
Money is useful, but it's not something I value.

The most important things to me are the people around me. I protect and serve my family, friends, and the people around me.

family, I do not know about others but my children come first always.
money next, life is hard enough as it is then to always be struggling for it.
friends last, to me friends are like partners in life they could be there when you need them but they should be able to stand on their own two feet, and they tend to come and go over time.

Friends come, go, turn to enemies, and occasionally they simply linger too long...

Family can be a powerful ally, but a costly ally and often a terrible enemy...

Money is survival. It is food and shelter, legal defense and insurance policy, career and education. You can live without friends and family, but not without money.

Employ it conservatively, and it will remain loyally with you. Cultivate it patiently, and it will flourish in your accounts. Value it more than the things that it can buy, use it to provide and protect rather than to pamper and please, and you'll retain control of it.

Just as long as I have enough money to get by, it isn't imporant to me. Friends ttake the top of the list--family can take care of itself.

family, but the family I chose; husband and son. They count as friends too, since I chose them.
