Just curious really - if you have no money worries is anything missing that you cannot buy?

@septicsmeg when I am feeling generous I am thankful for others not having to understand what it means for us (or anyone) to have bipolar and ASD dominating their lives. But most of the time I am not feeling generous and think it sucks having to walk this lonely path alone.

DH's 'urgent' and horrendously complex operation. It's been 27 weeks and no private provision available.

LuckyPeonies · 13/08/2023 22:02

Youth and perfect health.

A decent cleaner, we can afford one yet there's no one to hire here. (First world problems)

A lie-in till 10am at the weekends. Small children do not permit. One day...

My NDNs have small children and seem to manage it. I wonder how they do it. Often the 2yo is still up around midnight. I would not have had the energy to be up at this time with such a small kid. Mine are always in bed early.

We have money, but we are on the verge of separating and it’s going to break my kids hearts. So a happy relationship for me please.

I would like my MIL to be alive. One of the most influential person I have ever met!

CattingAbout · 13/08/2023 23:23

Wraparound and holiday care for 5 year old DS. He's autistic - we've got funds but can't find anything/anyone nearby who can help.

ErinAndTonic · 13/08/2023 23:39

A neurotypical brain 😅😅

2ndMrsdeWinter · 13/08/2023 23:48

A magic switch that turns off the voice box of everyone I live with 😁

Justleaveitblankthen · 14/08/2023 00:05

Long, strong hair that reaches my waist, or at least my back.

Never been able to grow my own hair long and am slightly obsessed with everyone that does this effortlessly 😂

QueenBitch666 · 14/08/2023 00:06

My Dad back so I could tell him one more time how much I love and miss him

bert3400 · 14/08/2023 00:16

My MIL, she died 14 years ago and the inheritance she left my DH set us up for life. It wasn't a huge amount of money but it enabled my DH to set up his own business, which has flourished. I would love her to see how far we have come and she would be so proud . And I miss her ...she was amazing

LardoBurrows · 14/08/2023 00:24

Magic powers, I would like the ability to cast spells, on very.bad.people.🧙🏻‍♀️

andjustlikethat1 · 14/08/2023 02:26

Health health and more health and longevity. Life is supposed to be perfect and happy and its disappointment after disappointment.

ringsaglitter · 14/08/2023 02:31

A family - mother and father who loves me, brothers/sisters.

I have no one

Time

Time is worth more than money. And the older you get the more valuable it becomes.

Growlybear83 · 14/08/2023 02:56

I would give anything to have my Mum back, and how she was before dementia set in.

Magnoliainbloom · 14/08/2023 03:46

A gorgoeus and decent man.

Thatladdo · 14/08/2023 03:54

Health, time and love.

VERY few people have absolutely no money worries

dynastyfan · 14/08/2023 09:30

We are incredibly lucky and have no real financial worries.
A happy family that love each other and spending time together.

I would love my parents back
I lost them both far far too soon.
My DM was only 50 and never met Dh or our dd's .
Ddad was gone by my early 30's and I feel so sad for all they and we missed together.

A home with a garden.

A new boiler

mintbiscuit · 14/08/2023 09:47

A classic Porsche. I could buy one today but I know the upkeep would be £££ so not sure I can justify it in current climate. (also would have to clear out the garage 😱)

Housekeeper. Mentally I cannot justify it. Plus I’d be cleaning before they came as I’m so embarrassed at the mess my family make - which kinda defeats the purpose!

Take away the disease of addiction from a loved one.
