Most persons see money as a means to the end, that their survival depends on it. Though money might give an ease in some things of life, but it cannot buy happiness, peace of mind, security etc. I believe that once money is made, It will go a long way to develop a healthy heart to the person, money knew no master, it can fly away. For money means putting bread and water, and giving adequate shelter to my family. I ask again "What Does Money Mean To You?

The fact of the matter is, money has absolutely no meaning. None. It's a piece of paper that the world at large has given value to. Yes. We have to have it in order to survive living in this world. Money comes and goes. Going, more than coming, in most cases! Have you ever tried to place a monetary value on things that you cherish? For some, there is no monetary value. Then there are the things that cost more than they should. Case in point.....fine art. To some there are paintings worth in the millions of dollars. I look at the same painting and wonder why. Same for a house, a car or any other "object/possession" society deems valuable. No house is worth the price that is charged. No car either. A pair of jeans for more than I make in a week?!?! Not! Guess it depends on which eschelon you live in. To the wealthy, money has a completely different meaning than to those of us who actually work for it. Personally, having more or less money has not affected me. It's just not important other than paying the bills and buying the necessities.

Hi there! I treat money the same way you look at it. To me money is something to help me get by everyday. It is something people use to put food on their tables and pay their bills. To me money is just an added feature in our everyday lives. In general, money earned is not ours. It is somehow created to make the world go round if you'd think about it well. We earn, we spend and everybody does the same thing to. If money is not used, currency will not circulate and thus putting a stop in our economic lives. Well that's how I see money. Ciao!
