Does money rule the world?

July 11, 2008 10:07am CST
Two months ago I took a second job. There was one main reason- money. Unfortunately it affects my private life a lot. It does not seam that I have enough time for my friends or family. I wonder.... How much would I be willing to sacrifice to get to a point where I do not need to earn more? Would I ever have enough of the money then? Would I ever feel that I have enough? What about you? How important is that in your life and how much would you sacrifice to become wealthy?

It's the love of money that ruins us.We are not satisfied with what we have in front of us.I came to a point where my family earns a lot.More than we really need.But seems that it never satisfy my parents.I don't want to come to a point wherein i need to sacrifice my family just to earn a lot.Because my parents has already done it in the past the only thing that they gain is money but not us .they are slowly losing us ,their children but God has a lot of ways he take it back and I have my parents in return.You see it's like a ladder if you are already at the top the only way is go down.For me it's better to be at the middle you have two ways.Go down or go up.I hope i give you a good idea.

Thanks, cause your point is very interesting. I have never looked at it in that way. You are right, when you are at the top the only way you can go is down and that is never an ideal. Besides, you have to make sure that there is always something you do not have but you can dream about it.... And dreams make life more bearable :)

yes money does make the world go round but having too much is bad, having too little sucks so i think as long as u can live confortably then its all good. It all comes down to what really makes u happy

Money rules the greedy. If you use your money the right way then you rule the money.

i think money rules the world in many ways, think about if u had no money, where would you get your food from, where would you live? Its the fact that money creates all the luxuries around us, like the computer you are on now.
