Great, great quote!
Jade says:
Whenever I catch myself thinking too much about money or wealth, I ask myself: What won’t money solve? For instance, money won’t give me a better relationship with my dad, it won’t make me lose weight, I’ll still have to do my algebra homework.
Life would still have the “sad” moments–when I feel sad for no reason at all. But that’s alright. Maybe some girls do have all the money in the world, but I don’t care. Money really ISN’T everything. And at the end of the day, I have a soft place to fall, friends who love me and a MIGHTY God who’s on MY side! Who can buy that?

This is so true! I live in Ghana, West Africa and I see it everday. “It’s all about money.” Yes, many things depend on money or material posessions but some of my friends are poorer than I care to describe and yet they are happier than many rich people. They are in love with Christ and enjoy the Body Life He gives. It IS possible to be happy without money. Jesus was poor wasn’t He?
Amen!
