I have been thinking about asking this question for a long time. For me people are more important than money, even though money can give us 95% of everything that we want but it can't give us the rest 5%. The 5% of things that money can't give is more valuable that anything else.
So, always remember, people first then money.
What do you think?

People are way more important than money. In particular family and friends are especially important. People can make me happy but money doesn't help me when I am miserable. The best things to have in life are good health, good luck and happiness. People are great and without them I would be lonely. Animals are wonderful too.

It's not. I am a social worker so I don't believe money is more important then people. But I work with the poor and I see daily what it is like to be disenfranchised. I don't agree with the lengths some people go to in order to obtain money, but who am I to judge when I have a nice house and a warm bed to go to every night. For my clients money is the beginning of getting a life they don't have.
I work with those who are mentally ill. As much as you hate that word disenfranchised..they are really people who are disregarded and not treated as worthy. Do I see people who are "will not's" Of course I do. But they are very few and I see more people struggle to get ahead then those who don't. My clients are not "will nots". They are the can not's because the voices in their head and lack of accesable medical treatment will not let them. Are there people who fake it? Of course. But instead of thinking someone is "getting over" on you or the system think about the people who you really help.

Hi biman, I agree that people are far more important then money. At this stage in our development, we all need some money, enough for our basic needs. A lot of money, and by this I mean tens of millions is of little use to anyone. We live a few short years and our money is of no use in the spiritual realm. People, on the other hand bring us love,friendship,companionship and all that makes life worth living. Blessings.

According to me people are any way more important than money.I can not only state it but also prove it.Anything in the universe get its value if we humans admire it.Most of us admires money, that is what make money a need actually it is just a want.
...............In brief people are important than money.............................

Most of the time I would agree with you. There are times though that money is important. I can't give my friends and family the things I want to without money. I think both money and people are equally important.

I'm a bit bitter now because of certain issue here concerning my father, my boyfriend and me. It has something to do with money (or the lack of it). As I sad, Im bitter so forgive me if my answer now is money. Of ocurse deep inside me, that's not it. But it seems that some people believe that the way to happiness is to be rich. So let them think that way. I believe that the lack of money is one bog source of problem but it doesn't mean that being rich makes one really HAPPY.
