On a separate note, there's plenty more to life than money, imo.

Your opinion! My opinion is this is the sort of nonsense you hear from people with money. Warren B, who I follow religiously also says this a lot sitting on billions.

I came from nothing, so to me money means a lot! Not for me but for my future generations, but that’s just me.

To answer your question, I believe investing in rotten penny stocks religiously in the hope that one day one of them will do massive returns I consider this gambling. With what Bitcoin has shown us, I won’t consider investing in NFTs as gambling. Heck people have already made millions from doing it. It is too early for anyone to really say where this is going. Folks can however feel free to make outrageous predictions only to look like fools if it goes on a trajectory like Bitcoin
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't say it means nothing, I said there's much more to life.

You can try to amass all the money you like, it'll be wasted on your kids if they don't learn the right lessons. The upper classes are also strewn with young corpses and junkies, mostly the offspring of parents who were too worried about money to realise their kids needed emotional stability much more than a multi-thousand-pound boarding school somewhere in Switzerland.

Money as a means to an end is fine, but imo it should never be an end in itself.

Can someone better explain what NFT's are?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoke and mirrors. When they came about I was trying to wrap my head around what people were actually paying for and I couldn't really understand it. Sounded like an absolute load of sh!te to me. And so it seems that it was. Who the feck pays millions for a digital image?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same sort of thing people said about Bitcoin, now standing at circa 29k a share. Went all the way to circa 43k at one point. I was around 26 when it started getting some momentum, I listened to naysayers like you and now missed out heavily.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It actually peaked at a little over £51. I know as my mate has 1 bitcoin. Or at least he did. His wide wanted him to sell at its peak, but he refused and said it was his retirement. Then the price plummeted, but he was still unconcerned as he said it would go back up (which it probably will). Then the platform on which he had the bitcoin stored went bankrupt and he is waiting on a court case to see what he will get back, if any. A risky game, but one that can pay off massively.

That said, I understand (to an extent) how crypto works and how it can be used.

I can't see any way in which an NFT can be used really.

Have you invested in any NFTs?

Talk about polarising the debate. Its not a case of either being loaded or a single parent family.

I have to agree that money isn't a top priority. I have got a mate who is a director in a large construction firm. He's worth at least £50m. But he has been too busy to spend any quality time with his kids. He once told me he had never put one of the them to bed or read them a book. The only real time he spends with them is when they are on holiday. And even then his phone never stops ringing. And his wife cheated on him due to the fact he is never there and she was lonely.

He can never get that time back. His kid's childhood has pretty much gone now. The trips out and expereinces that I share with my kids are more important than being loaded.

When I look at the people I know that are wealthy, the vast majority do not have happy personal lives.

I think it is about finding the right balance. Of course you want to be comfortable, but I'm not that driven by money. And I don't think that it is great to give your kids everything if you are loaded. Then need to have their own ambitions and drive.
