LOL!  \n\nGood answer for your mom or dad when they say that!\n\nWhen it used to be gold, silver and copper ONLY it DIDN'T come from trees.....\n\nYou could write a hand-written, paper draft for the person to take to your bank (later morphed into actual checks), but it wasn't real money until the bank honored it, so money wasn't made on trees, i guess.

Money doesn't buy happiness it just buys things that makes you happy. Happiness comes from within not from c-notes.

Why is there a thing like money?  What would you do instead to distribute goods and services?  A long time ago, people used to use barter a lot: trade one good or service for another.  But it is impractical to carry around what you produce in order to trade it with what they produce.  And what if A wants what B has, but B wants what C has, and does not need what A has?  So money came into existence to represent wealth, as a medium of exchange.  At first, it was made of precious metals that had a value relatively well known: an ounce of gold or silver had a pretty standard value in the community.  Now it is made out of paper, and no longer paper which can be exchanged for gold or silver.  We use it because we trust the next person will accept it, just like we did.\n\nActually, nowadays we more often use accounting records, created by computers, instead of the actual money.  So we are even deeper into symbolic wealth, rather than tangible wealth, like gold or silver or a barrel of pickles.

No, it's simple, something can;t come from nothing. It's like pointing to nothing and saying that eventually a monkey is going to appear. They say that we came from a giant piece of matter exploding or a monkey , but where did that come from? They tell you nothing, but something can't come from nothing!

It is not money that is bad it is the LOVE of money.  When someone gets all wrapped up in their money sometimes they don't care about others as long as they get money.  Sometimes however, people who have ample money realize that they can do some good in this world so they decide to use their money to benefit others.  If you have a love for money so strong that it breaks relationships and does not harm than good, then there is a problem.

This question has been asked forever and been the subject of debate. I think the question is worded incorrectly. If a tree falls, it makes a sound. That's a law of nature. The question is did it really fall if no-one was around to see or hear it.

Ther government doesn't generate any money.  It only takes money from working people and distributes it.  Unfortunately, there is a large section of the population who is lazy and takes advantage of this.  People do not need homes, they can live in apartments.  They can pay for apartments by having a job - what a concept.

one makes profit (money) and the other doesn't

Here is my typical answer to this question:\n\nWhen the tree falls, it does create sound waves, which is simply systematic disturbances in the surrounding air that emanates from the source in all directions. That is true regardless if anyone is there to hear it or not. The fact that somebody's brain isn't there to interpret the sound waves as a sound, doesn't change the fact that the waves exist.

I personally have not invested in Reforestation, but I have seen many of the effects first hand in the area of Papua New Guinea that my mother is from.  In a monetary sense I think it is a bit of a crock.  The rainforest Hard wood that recieves the highest prices takes at least 20 years to grow before you can harvest enough wood to make a decent enough return on the cost of collecting and dividing the tree into peices.  I can not see how they would be able to give you these kinds of returns over the shorter periods, especially if there is no decrease in the amount of illegally harvested timber on the world market.  I think that they would be able to command a higher price if they can prove that the wood they supply is harvested ethically, but I do have serious doubts as to the ability of this firm to make these kinds of returns to investors.\n\nI believe that the Re-forestation  of Rainforest would have significant effects Environmentally and Economically for the associated communities, however the time span for regrowth of Rainforest and the bio-diversity that accompanies it is much longer than all the projections listed on this website.  I would not call them a scam but I think that they are being a little overoptimistic.  I believe returns are possible however I do not believe these numbers are possible and I can not understand why there is such a large jump in the projected figures for year 22 and year 25 as tree growth is a pretty linear affair.  I am all for Invetment with environmental benifits but I think these guys are dreaming.

Never.  In giving money you clearly demonstrate how much you payed for the gift.  With gift giving, it's the thought that counts - not the amount.\n\nThis requires more explanation.  "The thought that counts" means that you have given thought to the other person to whom you are giving the gift.  This means that you demonstrate that you know the person somewhat and, therefore, would know what he would like.  You show thought.  Money, as a gift, is perfectly impersonal and thoughtless.\n\nWhat is the good of giving a gift if it demonstrates no "cost" of time and energy in selecting something personal?

actually, the concept of money was invented a while back as you might know. Before, people would carry gold as a medium of exchange. Later goldsmiths would take care of the  people's gold, and give them "receipts" (much like banks today). Instead of gold being traded, these receipts would be traded, and when giving the recipt to the gold smith it would be yours. \nSo the reciepts back in the day are much like dollar bill- which both are backed up by gold. \n\nAnd when you think about it, our own greed makes ourselves revolve aroung money. We as selfish humans tend to think that the more we have the better we are, but to get more we need money. It's a leson i was tought in my Economy class and i learned it in life too.

Very good question!  I don't know, but I have a funny story about that.  One of my friends once said, completely seriously, "I just wish I had enough money that I could go to the Dollar Tree and just buy whatever I wanted without having to worry."\n\nI laughed so hard!  It's like, gee, don't set your goals so high!

For some, sure it is!  It's an easy way to get what they want and all the money in the world.  For others it isn't, it has nothing to do with money or power but their belief system.
