We spend money on what we care most about. | There are a lot of things more important than money. |
Children should learn not to put a dollar value on everything. | It's hard to see why a person would let himself become a slave to money. |
It's nice to make gifts, even if you can afford to buy them. | It seems silly to try to keep up with the Joneses. |
The purpose of money is to serve the family, not be served by the family. | Enough money to live comfortably but not necessarily luxuriously - that's enough for happiness. |
Education, the warmth of family life, trips together, shared pleasures - these are the real products of a family. | It's easy to have fun with simple things not necessarily connected with spending money. |
It doesn't make sense to want the best, nicest and shinest just because it is the best, nicest and shiniest. | It's all a matter of deciding what things are most important and then planning your spending to fit your income. |
If the choice was between a job with long hours and high income and one with somewhat lower income and more time for oneself, the second would be better. |
