Bas melech, (and all who emailed me the same question) basically, there was a fight going on in my house about money. I thought if I would give the money in question, the fight would be over. $1500 later I realized that it's not about the money. Money doesn't buy happiness.
People can think I am amazing for believing in Hashem so much....to the extent that I "Put my money where my mouth is".
They don't realize that I have no other choice. Hashem is the only One who can help us.
This shiur, which I downloaded from AishAudio.com literally changed my life. I would not be able to give 95-105% of my income to my parents if not for this. It gives me peace of mind, allows me to sleep. I do not get a commission for this, but I seriously reccommend every person in the world to listen to it. Rabbi Yagen has a very strong accent, but don't let it bother you. Just listen and enjoy the way your life becomes easier.

Hm, wonder what brought that on?
i thought it goes:
"whoever said money can't buy happiness.... doesn't know where to shop!"

I was wrong.....
DE, you're right. money doesn't buy anything but things...
houses...but not homes...
gifts...but not love...
food...but not satisfaction...
medicine...but not health...
things...but not happiness...
Ah, I get it now.
Well the good news is that this must mean you can have your happiness even if the money isn't here now...
Well, Bas Melech, I need to learn how to be happy independantly of my surroundings. I'm working on it...
