This question is very simple but the answers can be complicated from many people in this world. This means , is money more important to you than anything else in this world ???

Money is important to me in the fact that I do not have an abundance of it right now, but more important to me is my family and my friends and my health. Money is not everything, without your health and your family and friends, all the money in the world would not bring you happiness.

I think money does not buy all the happiness in life and one should not go after money in life.

As all of us know, money is very important in our life no matter from which aspect. Money is not a purpose in life, but a way to manage our living. It should not be more important for us than we dignity and our moral principles, and we have better accepting living poorly than steal money form other people or do dishonest things to achieve our goals. On the other hand, we should not despise our personal life because we are too busy working in order to pay the bills, otherwise, we won't have any family. For what would we work so hard, if in the end, we're alone? If we care only about having money, without dedicating any time to the people we love, they will abandon us. And in case we do make such mistake, our mental health will be damaged too. We'll start feeling depressed, and our depression could easily become a neurosis. Well, the importance of money in our life has to be very well defined.

I think money is needed to buy things in life, but there are things money cannot buy. I think one should try to spend time with friends and family and also try to think of other things other than money. I think money is not everything in life. I think some people are after money and does not have enough time to enjoy their life.

Money is important for without it you cannot live. It should not be that way but in reality that is what is happening. With money you can buy all material things, you can have a luxurious life but without it you will have a hard time living.

My children and grandchildren are the most important things in my life but I have learned that everything I want to do for them and for me takes money and I have none. I live barely on Social security. I think of trips and places to takke my grans kids. No money. Dont go to some places because I dont even have gas money. I am suppoed to go to a wake for my son-in -laws grandmother and I have no money to out gas ionmy car to drive to the neighboring town. I have ants in my house which are really annoying and I cant buy ant killer Also I have a dog who needs to go to the vet for pills and all cant do that either. Car just broke down and I owe fix it place $364 he let me take my car and make payments. House is not in the best conditon as i cant afford repairs and cant afford the rent either.. So I would say as much as I believe in love and family as the most important I would have to say money is the #1 necessity. You must have it. I dont want alot . Just enough to pay my debts and live out my life without so much stress I am sure this financial stress is taking years off my life. So all you young people please prepare for your future and if you think you have enough money planned save somemore. you cant believe how had it is

I know with money you could do lots of things and lots of people want to have lots of money too. Its simple, people want money cause they have needs, so they could buy there needs, wants and likes. From the point of view, it seems money is everything, but personally i think its not that important, what matters more for me first is God, my family and friends and myself. With money or not, God is there, my family and friends are there and myself can't be bought by money. Thanks for the topic Much respect
