What do you enjoy that money cannot buy?

My salvation
My wife
My sons happiness
My dog’s love
Being raised by two great parents
The feeling of sunshine
The smell of the ocean
And the sound of the woods waking up.
And true freedom in contentment (Seneca the stoic said freedom comes from within) there for it can be bought without money and I’ve been blessed with figuring that out before I got to old

1. The Salvation of myself and all of my family over the age of 2 by my Lord Jesus Christ.
2. My family, brother's family, wife's family.
3. The fact that I live on my grandparent's old farm
4. The fact that I can shoot guns here to my heart's content, that is the culture around me, and no one within earshot would call in on me for disturbing the peace. If they did, the Sheriff's office would not even come out, because that's just what my neighbors and I do from time to time.
5. That I live in a place in America where gun ownership is expected. In fact, I'm expected to carry at church and take action, if we have a threat. (I don't even know anyone over 6 who doesn't own a gun)
6. The fact that I live in a place where there's absolutely no requirement to get permission or to register firearms. I could have over 10,000 - it absolutely doesn't matter here.
7. I can hunt big-game animals on my property, without even driving.
8. My children were able to grow up in a fashion similar to myself, in the country. They were able to walk or ride bikes to 3 different fishing ponds, be gone all day without worry, build forts, throw rocks at each other, get into fights, and learn to work things out without parental involvement (unless absolutely necessary).



And, of course, my wife.

We met in college in 1986, married in 1991, have a son and a daughter, and have been together ever since...

I've never come across anyone more suited to me. I hope she would say the same...

you are indeed a blessed man, great priorities. I lived in Valdosta for 1 1/2 year in the Air Force, and found Georgia to be true southern folk hospitality and common sense, just couldnt abide those snakes.
 
My wife and kids. I got married late in life at 36. My wife and I had our kids when I was 39 and then 41. They are the healthiest, happiest, most beautiful little blessings I could have ever wished for.

Really that's about it.

I enjoy my hobbies immensely. Fishing, hunting, etc. But money can buy them.
 
Gods blessings and His grace and watching sunsets in very beautiful and panoramic areas; desert, mountains, marches, lakes and rivers. Truly God's work.

yes sir ,but way back in 82 -3 if I remember correctly. used to go out Fridays to fish restaurant , think it was called mill pond, great fish ,hush puppy's and sweet tea. man does time fly!
 
So I wont add to all the good and great things both natural and spiritual that have been written here,
amazing how we are blessed, But if I were to write a book , I would entitle it ," IT ALL TURNED OUT" the story of my life, how inspite of many poor decisions, in a free country we can have a great life , I thank God for freedom.

A faithful wife
Painted sunsets
Reasonably good health with which to hunt and fish!
The blessing of God on my life

I enjoy just waking up and bring able to get out of bed. At my age anything after that is a bonus
The first coffee of the morning watching the sunrise.
The love of my wife, family and friends.
The joy of hunting.
The smell of a campfire and the joy of good company
The freedom to go to church without persecution
There's a lot in life that I can enjoy that money can't buy
At the end of the day I enjoy watching the sunset with a cup of tea or a nice single malt and thinking to myself well I made it thru another day and God willing I will do it all again tomorrow.

No matter how shit the day is it's always a good day because I'm still alive and probably pissing someone off somewhere and I smile at the thought.

I look at the young people today and think I hope you make the most of your life and enjoy it.
I know I've enjoyed mine.

I think the number one thing would be a good wife. You can be the richest man in the world, but if you are married to (or with) the wrong person you can have the most miserable life imaginable. Similarly, you can be dirt poor and if you have an awesome spouse, you can feel much richer than you are.

Health if you are lucky enough to have it is a great runner up, but money can improve this for a lot of people as well. However, money can't fix all of health problems yet, so it makes the list.

My brother always used to brag about how much money he has and how asset rich he was.
I had my son sitting on my knees and said I'm richer than you will ever be.
He said how's that you have bugger all money and are still paying your house off.
I looked at my son then looked at him and said easy mate. When are you ever going to hear happy father's Day or I love you dad. See brother I am rich.
What he said as he stormed of no one needs to read, it wasn't pretty.
