But truly, you wish both would balance out nicely!

Some people do though. They may even be in one's own family. Starts slow; then distance builds up. Before you know it, you've lost them. Or they've lost you.hsimone wrote:Family, of course. I would be surprised if someone would choose luxury over family.

Family. And I don't just mean nuclear family, although they are part of it. In my networks of friends and associates, faith travelers, justice-seekers and 12-steppers I have found family. I don't know how I could have anywhere near the riches I have without them, so if you define money as riches, then I have both!

luxury though lost can be replaced but with family nothing can never be substituted with .Its the only one you have and once you loose no replacement.

For each person the answer to the question of luxury or family will change. For me personally I would have to say that the family I have created for myself would triumph over luxury every time. (The time I get to spend with my family IS a luxury.)
In terms of material luxury, I don't know whether I would opt for it over the family that raised me. Even though having a yacht would be far better than listening to political jousting at every Thanksgiving.
