Yes i believe that making money is important. You can use money to buy the things you need like food, water, and clothes. But i think the problem with our current society is that we put too much value on money that sometimes we categorize people as to who has more money, who is richer and who is poorer. We sometimes neglect the real value of a person when he does not have that too much money which i think is so wrong. I believe that rich people and poor people should be treated the same. I personally have experienced the cruelty of some rich people because we lost everything few years back and i guess we learned our lesson well that those friends you have when you are up are not necessarily the friends you will have when you are down. Now, we are beginning to be okay financially and yes we are indeed making money but the more important thing now is that we also know who are true friends are.

Making money is important. I always think that making money is the only way I live in this world. I want to enjoy the world, but first, you need money.
I dont think money is important in my life when I was young. Maybe because I was not that much lack of money. But now, when I grow up, I need lots of things in my life and I also need to support other people. So, money becomes a significant part of my life now.

Yes, I also agree with this. When I was still young, it was just so easy asking for allowance from my parents. All i have to do is eat, sleep and study. No other responsibilities. Being married now has introduced me to so many responsibilities (paying the bills, doing grocery, cleaning the house, cooking, etc). Hy husband and I now focuses more on making money to support ourselves and to pay the bills. But still, sometimes you end up being so tired because at the end of the day, what did I achieve aside from that fact that I earned some thing today? Well I guess, happiness can't be provided my money because even if we earned more than we can spend and you did not have any time left for recreation, you also get burned out.

I agree with you 100%. People put too much emphasis in having money to the point that if you do not have it you are a nobody. It should not be like that at all. Yes, making money is very important because it is something that we need in order to live a comfortable life. But, I strongly believe that everyone should be treated equally whether they have money or not. And you always know who is your true friend when neither you or your friends have money, those who stick around no matter what are the true friends.
Great Post!

Yup yup, well said, i totally agree with you. The meaning of life is more than just having to earn a living. It is important that you also do not stop being human and must treat other people with respect.

Money is very important to every person.The problem you said is not relation with money but the feeling of people.Sometimes even poor people look down at theirselves and other poor people.
If we consider people either rich or poor as equal,we will treat them equally whether we have much money or not.
So making money is very important.One person's characteristic is decided when he/she is born.So his/her real value is non of money's business.
