Money seems evil, but it motivates people to work and educate themselves. It's nice to say education is the greatest, but we wouldn't go to school if there was no hope of making money. Furthermore, it prevents people just getting stuff free... but what problem does that create? Lack of EVERYTHING... why? Because nobody would be motivated to do anything and therefore nothing would exist, which creates fights between people and countries, essentially we would be going backwards and eventually we'd have slavery again where people are forced to work.
The problem with money is, GREED and PRIDE. People love to have a status where they are seen as powerful and/or attractive. Money creates such an affect.
So MONEY is indeed one of the most powerful motivators in human life. There should be benefits of $100 a week or another kind of reward for people who can educate themselves and/or eat healthy or reach certain levels of health through exercise... imagine how many more people you'd see at the gym just to earn that extra $100...

Well power corrupts in many cases. And since money can corrupt more than anything else, then it would be a power. If you have the money, then there might be more doors open for you than someone who does not have the money. In fact, scratch maybe, it will as a little money thrown here and there can go a long way. It's unfortunate but it is also true.
If we want to be educated, then we have to have money. If we want to have a decent job, we have to get a decent education and thus that leads you back to the money thing. There are some control that money has over us that is quite interesting the more that you think about it. Really, it tends to rule our lives in many ways. Money might not be the most important thing in the world, but it can be one that can make or break a person in many ways.
In the end, money will lead to power, because power leads to corruption and people have been corrupted by having too much money. Still it is something that is extremely essential for many things. In fact, you could almost go as far as saying that money is a necessary evil. People have done rotten things in the name of power, many of which involve money but it is essential in many cases. Really, there is both good and bad elements, but it is a power.

I have always taught my children the importance of having a good education. Because knowledge is power....not money....knowledge will take you so much further. Your money may go away...but your knowledge remains forever

I think man power is more greater than money power one reason is that the man only makes money, anther reason is that if a person has much money but no one to stay by that person and support him or her then that useless so money is not the most important thing in the world.But there are many types of people who can even kill for money that just so stupid
