Can money really buy everything?

Lunch today was pretty interesting...
A new face (to me) joined us for lunch today and we talked about how money can buy everything, including love.

He's buyer/purchaser and he shared two rules to buying things...
Rule no. 1: Good things don't come cheap.
Rule no. 2: Cheap things don't come good.
(In my head, I questioned...how about at the Nike warehouse sale where some things are really cheap and good?! Haha! But these thoughts stopped at the brain, did not make it out of the mouth...keke!)

We talked about how some people would go all out and look for a RICH husband and ultimately, succeed in it...
How some NUS students would do a ‘cross-country’ and 'trek' and 'hike' all the way to the Medical Library (be it from arts & social science, business, etc) to study/hang out there just to give themselves a higher chance of getting a big (or is it rich?) catch like a doctor or a dentist to secure a 'good' future in which they can (hopefully) enjoy financial stability and of cos, eventually, financial freedom probably at a younger age than the average.

People always say that money can't buy love. Here, Mr. Buyer is telling us stories about how rich people buy their loves. Of cos, buying love is not a problem, I guess sustaining that bought love is a big headache.

But of cos, I beg to differ many of his 'theories'...Some love cant be bought...I seriously think so...
Sometimes even with lots and lots of money, the particular love that you WANT just don't come to you...Maybe others do...
Everyone knows that rubbish attracts flies...But do you like those flies? If you like them, well, then it's good for you! If you don't? ....

Just thought that it's an interesting lunch topic...Is that something that we want to do? The we want to achieve?

But by 1pm (coming to the end of lunch time), we still did a full circle by coming back to the most basic understanding.
"Aiya...Most important is to be happy la..." Haha! And that says it all! I guess if money makes you happy (and I mean happy from the heart), then maybe that's the way you should be heading towards (that's probably your Friday).

I know mine isn't.
