money is really a big factor in our lives... earning more makes us more competitive in our jobs... it keeps us making goals in our career and finding jobs that would satisfy our needs. i try to balance money with my family and health because in the end when all your money is gone, all you will have left is your family and health. i read somewhere that in life, think of your self juggling balls wherein one ball is rubber and that would be work while, family, health, friends, and love are balls made of glass. once you let go of those glass balls... it would be broken while, if you let go of work it would just bounce back... wouldn't you agree?..^^

You can't paint people with a broad brush like that. For me, my family comes before money and even my own health...because I personally tend to put myself last. I have a relative who puts his health first because his health is not good...followed by his family and then money, however, I also have a relative who does seem to put money above all else. Everyone has their priorities.

While money does make things happen, you have to have your health in order to be in sync with all that is going on. That why its pretty admirable when the able-challenged are determined to get out there and work or continue their education like the rest of us. If you're working to maintain health insurance, it may be possible that your job is making you sick (emotionally, mentally, physically). I can't pay anyone's bills but I've seen this happen to many older government employees who find themselves incapacitated in one form or another. There people who take a pay cut,learn to live on less and are much happier overall. Even if someone grew up as an orphan or estranged from their biological family, they can still have deep friendships that evolve into extended family.

Not all. I know people who ruin their health and exhaust every penny that comes in on family. Personally, I've spent more time and effort to make the money to give the family and see it vanish than I care to think about. For me it's health, money when I can, and family. Money alone won't do it; there's no such thing as enough to fill all the gaps those around you can find to fill.
