Hi friends i want to know your view in this discussion. Is money the only important thing in life friends. I have seen many cases where people forget their own relations for the sake of money. Has the importance of money changed people's feelings friends. Whats your take on it?

i think love is the most important thing in life ... if have seen families who are not that millionaire billionaire type but they do have a lot of money ... they have less time to be with each other and though they have a lot of money they cannot spend it together happily ... they just think of their businesses and stuffs ... without love ... you cannot enjoy money ... and sadly you wont enjoy life

no money is not the most important thing in life i personally feel that family is the most important part in life money can do only one oare two things in life but things and pay bills.now family can give you love,compassion,and understanding it really depends on the person and what they are persuing in life.

I would say that money becomes very important if you don't have any. But if you have enough, then I don't see the need for fretting about getting more - it only causes stress. I have never earned a fortune, but whatever I have earned, I have always put a small amount of it away each month so that when I am very old, I won't have to worry too much about feeding myself and keeping warm etc. :-) Derek

MOney is important, not it's not the most important thing of all.. It's more like a necessity in life, and we have got to have it.. Money is tempting, and without it, alot of things cant be done.. Thus, there are many times whereby money is the reason for crimes, relationship changes and many more.. Especially with the recession now, money is even more important to many ple, and alot more things are gonna change, if their mindset to money and spending are different..

Yes!money is not the only important thing in life.But,it is true,you can't enjoy life much without money as well.Only a balance with money is needed and more people are not aware of that balance.And the relatives too have a misconsumption of people being rich all of a sudden and tend to find faults with them.So,the rich class isolates from the poor relations.

I have seen families ripped apart over money and it is just not worth it.We have never had a lot of money so we don't rely on it to be happy.We just jog along quite happily we have a enough for what we need and a bit over.You hear of people winning the lotto and it changes them ,they move to a bigger house,bigger car,then they have to make new friends and start a new life in a world you know nothing about.Your old mates probably don't move in the circles you do.May be I have got it wrong thats how thats I could imagine it being like,it would be nice to have posh clothes and be able to have money for anything I want,I could treat the kids and my friends.I think I would like to have the life I have really with a bit extra for treats.Having to much money when you are not used to it can be a bad thing.

No. No. No. No and Never! I'm still belonging to the school of thought for whom friendship matters the most than anything else, even money. But at the day's end - I'm to admit - "Money is more influential" entity than friendship! Money has silently become the primary yardstick for judging the success or failure of an individual. Everyone is expected to earn huge money! May be I'm a perfect misfit in this society!!! Or, may be I need to change my attitude towards life.
