YES ! money is the in-thing . Without paper currency in hand , you are reduced to a big ZERO. Who would respect a man who is impecunious... your wife , your children would begin to murmur and use unpleasant words when you are unable to manage things for want of funds. It is utter frustration, dissipation,dejection,depression and confusion when you are really in short of MONEY.

Yes you do need money to live in this world. People say that money does not matter, but when I did not have enough, I got really depressed when I figured I could not pay my debts and this was an unexpected thing, my boss at the time was not getting much business and he passed the losses down the line. It took me over five years to get out of the hole and when I thought of the things needed, but not gotten, made it worse. I am sorry your wife and children do not understand. I hope they realize, that it might not be your fault, that businesses may not prosper, and money does not grow on trees.

well these days things are not free. but I am not a person who will let my husband carries the burden himself. I always contribute by working full time and now I have a shop I still contribute even not as big. my husband never bothers I contribute or not, but to me it's only fair to do so since we live under the same roof. there was a time he was laid off for a month so I worked two jobs, I didn't blame him for it wasn't his fault at all and he is a reliable person he will not let his family in financial trouble

Anyone who can use impecunious in a sentence, and use it correctly, should have no problem taking care of himself and a family and in bettering himself! Bravo.

Its the fact, without money life becomes difficult and there may be many problems related to it.Relaitons are difficult to handle,and there may be critical moments.If the problem becomes really serious that may lead to the problems stated by you, no doubt.

I agree with you and I have written this on one of my response to a post asking something like "can money buy happiness?" or something like that. It is nice to write that happiness can't be bought by money but in real we buy it, we buy it everyday and if its not i may agree but it is for sure that if money is not there, there will be only suffering, only darkness and only sadness. So the reverse is true and I believe it like you.

hey s794, yes money does seem to make the world go 'round but I'm poor & for the most part happy.I believe if a person is depressive they'll be that way w/ or w/o money.Yeah,they might be able to buy temporary happiness but true joy is in your soul.Also,ppl don't love or respect you b/c of how much money you have if they're that kind of person get them out of your life b/c they are fake. +'s |:)

To some extent you are correct..!! But still when you see a little bit deeper in life's meaning you will find that money is the least thing to care about. It hardly matters. I know you won't belive in me cause thinking practically money IS everything to find a luxury life but ....."luxury" !! Is that ALL what you want in your life? Ask your own self are you living just to find some useless pointless luxury in your life. When ever I ask myself what is this life for I straight away get an answer ...it says- "just become a good person and earn some respect and SOMEONE to LOVE and spend your whole life with"..!! I know it sounds so fairytale story... But in todays world people only respect money....But I DON"T CARE..!! I still know many poor families who are poor but HAPPY ...it just needs LOVE.

I have to ask suku, what brought this on? Although I have to agree with you, the whole world revolves around money! Thank goodness I have raised my kids to understand that there are priorities so sometimes there isn't always the funds for what they want. I have yet to hear them complain.

Sukumar money can be important but there are ways around needing alot of it. You can build beautiful energy efficient home that will run your heat, air conditioning, fridge and computer and whatever else - off the grid. You can collect your own water and grow your own food. You can keep your clothing costs down by creating your own or shopping in thrift stores. The evil part is when people don't have paper money - liquid assets but spend spend spend anyway going further and further into debt. There have been many documentaries about those who make a lot of money and are poor - paper money wise because they're so in debt and those who make hardly anything but are close to millionaires because they are very careful with their money and recycle everything they can - including plastic sandwich bags. I think one needs to respect themselves and not worry about what others think. And yes, it can be frustrating, depression and confusing when you're short of money and haven't thought ahead. I've been there!

I agree with you 100%. Money is the basic necessity of life and without money no one can move around the busy life. In everyday life you come across many things for which you need money to keep on going and carry out the expenses.

I agree 101%. Money makes the world go round. Why? Because the reason why everyone does anything is because of money except of course love someone. Well come to think of it, some other people do love someone for the money. :} We need money to survive because everything necessary for survival in this civilization of new age has to be bought to acquire. We no longer live in an age where we hunt our own food or build our own house. We exchange the services of other people with our money and we give our service to others in return for their money.

i agree to a point that money is very important in life but i dont agree that everyone who has money are happy in life we can count many examples where people have lots of bank balance but no peace of mind or are too depressed for some family matters so now i feel it is important but depends on how you prioratize it for example parents may prefer their children to stay with them and earn less money then to send them abroad and get good salary ther...

Sadly enough it´s money that makes this world go round. People who say "money doesn´t make you happy" are generally the ones who were never short of funds. Of course you can be rich, or just well off and unhappy, but you can also be poor and feel the same way. When you´re short of funds and feel depressed because of it, at least you can be treated by any doctor you choose, you´re able to pay your medication and don´t have to worry about paying your bills. Not too forget all the frustrated, depressed people who get short-term satisfactions out of shopping for clothes.

I agree with you to some extent.we strive hard to get this money.It has the power to satisfy certain wants of people and its not easy to have this money.Once we have it we can get our needs with it. The shortage of money will certainly ruin peace of people.Pennyless person is not given priority anywhere and one gains respect in society if he has excess money and sometimes eventhough he is bad in character he is honoured for possessing this money.But it alone will not bring happiness to anyone.Its just one among the tools for living a better life.
