Hi friends,money is important,we can't live without money,sometimes money can be everything,and i don't know whether we live just for money? When we are students for almost 20 years,parents tell us that if you studay well,you can get a good job and earn a lot of money;when we are working,we pay great attention to the salary we can get,more makes us happy,less makes us sad,even compare with others... So,i want to ask you,my friends:We live for money? If so,what a life! Show your view,sincerely.

Money is a means and not an end. Money in itself is worth nothing. its what money can buy that is worth something. Money cant buy happiness or love, but it can buy comfort.

As a father, I have to live for them. I have to work and have money to spend for our daily food, the rent and the school needs.

Not really for the money but for the things that money can buy! LOL An old friend once told me that he had been rich and he had been poor and through these experiences, he found out that rich is a lot better!

Money can't buy you happiness but you can do nothing without money. Without money, you won't have bread. So I think we should have a stable job and a stable income. Then we can have some spiritue enjoyment.

Money is not everything. Yes we need money to buy our needs, most specially our basic needs. We must understand that needs is different from wants. We have to work, have a job to earn a living. We must not love money for it is the root of all evil. We must have a balance view of life.

Money is extremely important in getting you the things you need to live, without it your have a lot of problems that only it can solve. I have lived in situations where I was nearly homeless and on the other side of the spectrum where I'm at now in life where money is coming in very securely. I know how to live in both but I always live like I have next to no money because I know how fast it can go and that will be my reality. I do not take money for granted and try my best not to waste it, but I will occasionally have some fun with it. The saying that you can't take it with you is very true so I set some aside just for myself and enjoy it from time to time.

Money plays a very important role in our life.We need it to survive.To buy food,clothes and other things we need.It also use to pay our bills.But in life the most important is to be happy inside and out and money can't give the total happines that we want but its coming from the love from our family.
