Great post. Family should be the number one priority in people’s lives and not money. Society has trained us to think that money is the only thing that matters and the only way to be happy is have a lot of it.

Family can be expensive too but you want to be able to give them what they need, too.

One way I discovered was giving my daughter a prepaid cellphone. It’s teaching her the value of managing her own expenses. In this case it’s not money but minutes. But the phone always tells her what she has and she’s become pretty frugal with her time!

Awesome post – with my new baby girl home from the hospital, it rings even truer for me now…

Investing in family is a great idea, unless we’re talking about Uncle Bob who has yet another new great idea for a ’startup’ business in Vegas…

Kidding aside, it’s solid advice. Great family relationships are invaluable!

I had chinese the other night. My fortune was “you will soon receive a promotion.” This just after my company announces layoffs and a freeze in reviews. Is still being employed considered a promotion?

I like the title of the article. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about money. I love making money, but I’d much rather be a poor person who has great friends and family than a lonely scrooge.

Great post!

Excellent article, i think more people are starting to enjoy more time around their family now.
Job layoffs – people at home
Food prices – people cooking at home
Gas prices – more people driving together.

Its sad to see that a tragedy brings people together, but what can you do
