Why do always people want to have so much money in their life?? Do you want to be rich?? What makes money very important??When I was a child, I want to be rich... I want to build a big house just like a mansion or castle... I want to have an own car.. To buy the things that I want... But today, I only want few things... Still, I want to build a house but not too big... I just want to build a house for my family... To have enough money to pay all our debts... I don't care if I don't get the things that I want for as long as all our problems will be gone...
Money is always the start of the problem... Problem in the company, in your business, financial problems, corruption in the government, etc.. People will kill other people because of money... They are willing to give up everything even the reputation just for money...
Why do money is the cause of everything?? Maybe, this is it...we cannot change our world... People will always want to have money... Even I, You and them... All of us wants money..

Money makes the world go round. If you have money, you automatically get everything in life including position, status. You may not be a good man, but you will never be without friends. That is money and it fills up the belly. Agreed money has its negative points, but the positive points far outbid the negative. We all need money for our daily necessacities in life, and like you, I too want this and that and problems go when money comes in. Love cannot feed the hungry and usually love flies out of the window when monetary problems enter through the door. That my friend is the sad truth of life, and hence money is important to one and all, inspite of its negative points.

Money is not that important. It is the only thing we can use to support our daily living. To buy and have our basic needs. So if you don't have money you probably know where you will be now?
I myself wants some money but I don't want to be rich. Just enough money to have what my family needs is enough for me. I can't bring that money when I die so definitely I will invest on something that is not tangible rather than this one.

Well I live 100% debt free from running my own business online for over 15 years. Am I like "Rich", well depends upon what you consider rich I would guess. I have no interest in being filthy rich and that was never my goal when I started my business.
But fact is having money does pay bills, buy food, cloths, and etc that we all need. My purpose was to get debt free and pay my bills and live in comfort, I have done just that and I am very happy with my income that I make online.

i think people want money because they think that will make thier lives easier. In fact it is proven it doesnt. There are different problems that arise when a person is rich. I would say that id like to make a decent amount of money when i get out of college but if im not rich its not going to make me unhappy. i just want enough money to be comfortable.

I personally would like to be rich because to gives me more freedom in my life to follow my dreams and not be tied down by a job.I will be going into music when I'm older, so I should enjoy my job, but I'll have to be constantly working. I'd like to be able to write books as well,and that's not a job that will be substantial from the beginning, so it would help to already have a bunch of money that I could live off of while I did what I enjoy.
I'd also like to build my dream house, which is going to require a lot of cash.

Well, having enough $$ to buy the type of house, etc. you would like for your family, and to not want for anything more would be nice. I would not want to be so Rich I would not know what to do with it all, unless I could find ways like Bill Gates has done to help the homeless, the schools, etc. Personally, for me, money does not buy happiness, and can cause a lot of problems like you said, but it would be nice to not want to worry about where your next penny is coming from either. To have just enough to where I never really had to want again would be nice.

It really is a financial world. Everything you do, every move you make, everything you need, involves money somehow. Even basic things like education or drinking clean water or breathing clean air costs money.
And to succeed in a financial world, you need financial intelligence. That is the best way to true wealth and financial freedom, not through crime.

You doesn't want to be rich? THing is, once rich, they don't bother to learn how to deal with the money so they loose it all. It isn't "money is the root of all evil", it is the :LOVE of money" that is the problem. Use it wisely. THat is the problem...most don't use it wisely. I don't care about being really rich, but I'd love to have to not worry if I will have enough for rent next month or for an emergency or soemthing like that.

It wont hurt to be rich. For me it will mean comfort and freedom. I would like to have a nice and cozy house of my own. It would also be nice to be able to feel some sort of luxury in one's life. It would also be nice to have the freedom to travel wherever you want and whenever. You get to broaden your horizon and perception on the things around you.

When I was younger I thought the same I wanted to be rich and famous....and then when I started working I realized that with money comes problems....and a big responsibility...and then a few years ago I realized I was afraid of money....I mean really afraid of it...Afraid of having it, not having it....wanting it, needing it....etc. You name it I was able to tell you how much something would be and how long I would have to work for it....
ANd then I began to read Suze Orman's book on financial freedom and I began to understand the relationship we have with money....a very intersting read I might add. And there is a psychology behind spending and having money. ANd now I am a lot more relaxed over it and I am trying to make sure it is working for me instead of against me.
According to Orman...money should be respected and viewed as any other living and breathing thing in our lives....and to not abuse it. I think she is on to somehting.

Money is what makes the world go round...as they say. I won't lie...I need money, my life would be so much better. I have two kids, so money doesn't stay in my pockets for very long.

Well, if we try to look at on the practical side, we cannot survive in this world without money. From the foods we eat to the house we live we need money. In other words gone are the days when we could just live like our predecessors do who just transfer from different settlement to another for survival. Having money means being able to buy the things we need and basically buy the things that we want. Having more money would mean being able to buy all that we want. Thus, money would be everything in the sense of practiacality.

I would love to have money but not at the expense of happiness. I would want enough to be comfortable for I am not a greedy person. Money can make people very ugly (personality wise) and I wouldn't want to be one of them.

Honesty speaking everyone of us wants to be rich. Maybe I'm not experience enough to say that money is the most important thing in our lives, but just try to imagine anything without money. Everyone has some dreams and usually this isn't possile to make them come true if we don't have money. You said that people would kill people becouse of money. I think it happens everyday. Just think of the poorest countries.
In my counrty people used to say- as long as we don't know what the problem is, money is the problem.
