What will any one prefer Money or peace of mind???? People think money can bring peace in life but is that true. What do you think ??? According to Economics offers various definitions for money, though it is now commonly defined by the functions attached to any good or token that functions in trade as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment, too [1]. In common usage, money refers more specifically to currency, particularly the many circulating currencies with legal tender status conferred by a national state; deposit accounts denominated in such currencies are also considered part of the money supply, although these characteristics are historically comparatively recent. Other older functions a money may possess are a means of rationing access to scarce resources, and a means of accumulating power of command over others.
The use of money provides an alternative to bartering, which is often considered to be inefficient because it requires a coincidence of wants between traders, and an agreement that these needs are of equal value, before a transaction can occur. The efficiency gains through the use of money are thought to encourage trade and the division of labour, in turn increasing productivity and wealth.
But if we look at the definition of peace of mind it goes like this,Inner peace (or peace of mind) is a colloquialism that refers to a state of being mentally or spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with bliss and happiness. Many spiritual or religious people believe that it is only truly possible to achieve inner peace with divine intervention of some form or another.
Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as prayer, meditation, T'ai Chi Ch'uan or yoga, for example. Many spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself.
Finding inner peace is often associated with religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism.
So, what you have to say.....

By accepting yourself and those around you for what they are...by being happy and grateful for what you have, without being envious of those who have more. By remembering we each make our own happines. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I would choose peace of mind everytime. Life is never "perfect" or withuot it's up's and down's, no matter who you are. Too many people think if they had money that would be a guarantee to happiness and a problem free life....If someone handed you a million dollars, all you are doing is exchanging one set of problems for another set that are a slightly different type...and the known is usually more easily dealt with than the unknown.
