I haven't won the lottery...YET!!! I can't afford fast cars, private jets, nor exotic holidays; so I have to go for the finer things in life...like the love of friends, my family, good health, sunrises, sunsets, appreciating the finer things in life. NOT coveting what my neighbor has.

Darn it. Those friends, health etc. Who needs those things?! You'll just have to work harder and get luckier. LOL. I agree with you completely. A lottery win would be great - I'd spend it on meeting my myLot friends amongst other things. But greater still is the love of my family and friends and the glories of nature that surround me here.

I am LadyM I am. I am surrounded by so much love and laughter. Without leaving myLot I can be lifted, kissed and cuddled, have my legs smacked, told what a twerp I am and sent to bed like a small boy. I love all of it. There are people here that I have never met who mean as much to me as any friend that I have ever had in my whole life.

It means style of life, dear, haven't you got a dictionary?
My lifestyle dream is to have my monsters around driving me nuts and enough money to pay the bills. You can keep the cars, jets, etc. being in a loving family is the only lifestyle for me. You've done it again, you're a very bad influence on me.

Chocolate finger please. I didn't have a soppy side until I started talking to you. Maybe we should fall out.

Here you are. [Passes finger]. Fall out? What about? If we do, who is going to ensure that occasionally you remember that you are wonderfully soppy and silly person? I see it as my Civic duty to torture you so. But if you can think of a good enough reason to fall out; be my guest and start a row. Be warned though. I don't shake off that easily!!

It is about my family and my daughter. It is about serving God and being a good citizen. It is about doing the best I can every day with the dissability that I have and trying not to worry about those who judge me for not going out to work. That's what my lifestyle means.

Geez louise it's too late at night to answer this properly. LOL
To me lifestyle is the manner in which I live my daily life. The little routines, the type of place I live in - house and/or community - stuff like that. To me it's never been a matter of money. I've been broke in the conventional sense most of my adult life and yet to 'outsiders', my 'lifestyle' was upper class. That was because of the way I conducted myself, the contents and appearance of my home (all antiques I'd been collecting for years) . I was told so many many times "I didn't belong" because my 'lifestyle' was too far above the area I lived in. What a crock.
Where I live now has changed my lifestyle considerably. The community, the house, the way little routines have changed and new ones developed, is all foreign to what I am used to and yet I've adapted and would rather be here than anywhere else except England of course. Lifestyle to me is the day to day way you conduct yourself and your responsibilities within the boundaries of the community in which you live. Money is the basis of your lifestyle unless you make it so. And those that are fueled by money into a 'jet set', 'celebrity' whatever lifestyle are not living, they're role playing and that makes their 'lifestyle' a pretty empty useless thing in my book.

In my perfect world, no matter what you're job, everyone would get the same salary. Prices couldn't rise on anything without a demographic referendum and taxes would be stable and evident to all in the use they were put to.
Government would truly be 'by the people, for the people' and nothing else. But then I studied waaaaay too much Karl Marx when in uni, so I'm kinda warped! LOL

I seem to recall a social experiment in Russia that started in 1917 that subscribed to that ideal. But it was just as corrupt and false as any other system. Mainly because it was run by humans and they are notoriously unpredictable, corrupt and fickle!

Very eloquently and accurately put Sparky. Money is important, but not an end in itself. Too many people think that if the y are financially rich they will be happy. Then, when they get there, they discover that they're not after all. Family and friends are my number one priorities. The other stuff can follow behind.

It is something else. it isn't about money,fast cars,or how many homes I can get or have. Lifestyle to me is to have something that will last when the money,cars, are gone. it means stability. I know I am crazy and it is silly to think that way. It is having what I need as opposed to all that I want.

For some Money does represent love. Because some associates love as getting all that they want to have and big houses and fancy cars they are just replacing love with objects though.I guess it takes not having money to appreciate when you do have it, to not take for granted that they are always more where it came from sitting in a bank somewhere. Reminds me of the Show the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. They have so much money and objects the ybought with the money but sometimes that isn't even enough to make people or couples happy. Look at all the famous actors and actresses they have alot going for them and some as high as 20-30 million per film they do but they aren't happy. So as you sid contentment is the key to happiness and love and a "lifstyle" everyone envys.

Seeing as I have no money, it isn't about that. LOL
I guess it's just about getting by the best I can and finding some joy and happiness in everything I do. Pretty simple really. :)

Hi p1ke lifestyle to me means the way someone lives their life..their choices in life..what they do and want to do..not neccessarily to go on holidays fast cars etc unless you have the money to do it 
lifestyle is a choice of the way you live,how you want to live and to do it without having condemnation or having to justify yourself for the way you live..littleowl

I believe that "Life style" could mean different things to different individuals. Now I don't live an expensive life style myself as life styles go.
I believe you can live in a style of good family values as well as how you choose to live your life. You can live an ethical and moral life which would be good. Sometimes there are poor people but they don't have to live poorly. It is all in the way you look at it I suppose.
