Is money everything in life? Will it satisfy your needs?

I always feel that money is not everything in life. But, it is a part and parcel of everyone's life. Money can not buy happiness or satisfaction. It has to come within yourself. Even a very rich person will not have the courage, kind enough to speak to the elders or a senior citizens. Money can pay the course fees. but, cannot teach you the behavioural patterns of life. Why people run behind money? What is your comments, suggestions or guidance on this discussion.

Hello friend! You have create just a awesome discussion I must say! See..... in modern age people think money is everything. Everything can be bought in exchange of money. Vehicles, study, home, foods and even people! So, that's why money is everything for current age. People are eliminating each other from this world for extreme bad money fever. We are destroying eco-system for money. So, in one word money made the current age abnormally mad! But we knew that we can't buy everything via money. We can never buy joy and love with money. And joy and love is the most precious in this world. So, it is clearly prove that money is not everything!

I would say, Money is of course necessary but it is not everything. Now its time to think hard and decide whether you will let money control you or you will control money, and everything depends on your decision. Living life is everything and money is a part of that. Doing things for the right reasons is everything. But should you do things for the wrong reasons, you will not have a good time. Money will follow if you do things for the right reasons.

Ok, for me money is not everything, but it sure does help! I am realizing that money is needed or you and family will be out in the streets. I am not saying I want to be rich and it would be nice to be stable and not worry about bills. Family and many other things in life are priceless and invaluable, but money puts a roof over my head! lol

My family is not so rich,my father worked hard to make money when he was young,but several investment failures put all his money away.He is unhappy now for without a house to live and without much money to enjoy life. Of course money is not everything in life and it never satisfy your needs,but i think money is the basic for without it we can never enjoy our life.We need money to marry the person you love,to raise our sons,to go to hospital when we are sick,to travel around the world,to make our dreams come true... Money is not everything,but without money we have nothing.

I agree with u....we require money to satisfy our basic needs....but, money should never overtake the relations or behaviours of a person. Money is nothing in front of human values. We should never run behind money....but, we require it upto some extent where there should be a limit.

Money can not buy happiness! And that's the truth, a truth which is that the world is full of unhappy people who are unable to maintain an emotional relationship. With money we can buy everything but happiness. And if we come to believe that money is able to make us happy, we actually remove the possibility of being happy without them. Many will say that although money is not happy we can certainly help, which is totally wrong. To be sure you follow the path chosen by us, namely that of success, first of all be acknowledged that the money we can make them happy. Starting from the idea that money can make us happy is just an illusion. When the outside world gives us more of what we want, happiness is better glimpse and if I sit and think I'm glad it happened to me several times that I buy what I wanted passionately. But happiness did not last long because I continued to think I needed more to be happy. Either way, money makes us happy to be allowed as long as it was doing, what we want. Few of us are really happy, and when you think about that happiness depends only on ourselves, this truth is ingora. We hide behind partners, we make our own gifts and just to be happy for a moment, we are involved in so many kind of things only work to succeed in life, all these and many other things have happened and will happen forgetting The fact that only in us lies the power to be truly happy. To the extent that we are not happy, love, joy, confidence will diminish. I think if they start to learn how to be happy and then the money will follow, and what we want out of life. I remember someone saying that although he was not happy when he had hoped and more than that, he believed that if a new partner will make him happy. Therefore, not only achieved the opposite effect. And here, ever give up fighting for their own happiness and easily indulge in embarrassing situations. It's cruel truth, and can often ...

You are right. Money isn't everything but it sure helps! Lack of money causes arguments, puts stress on family and leads to a cycle of poverty. You don't have to have millions of dollars but it helps to be good with what money you do have.I don't think it's a case of how much money you have so much as how you handle it.

There are many for whom money is everything. Yes, money is needed for some of the basic things in life, maintaining your health and leading a happy life. But depending too much on money to get all the things is fraught with dangers, as it can lead to corruption, bulldozing your way to get things done and also get into your head that you are powerful. This ultimately leads to unhappiness. But for the time being of course, money means everything. When you get enough money for meeting your needs, you should stop hankering after it.

You are right that money can't give you everything in your life to make you happy or teach you the things that you need to survive and to get through life by being a decent human being! Look at all the rich Celebrities and how they make complete azzholes out of themselves and expect the world to give them respect no matter what they do because they have money! Money can make you live life more comfortably, but it can't give you common sense and make you a better and more respectable human being. Those things have to come from within~

hi bhagavagita, I always feel that money is everything in life,if there is no money,we cannot spend single day,if we have money with us ,we feel that we are somewhat safe,because where ever you go ,money is media for us means to purchase from one rupee shampoo to thousands worth tv,for bus,for snacks,for begger,for news paper,for pencil or pen,for every need we require money,in my view money will solve the entire problems in our life up to 80 percent,the rest is peace and health will cover the balance twenty percent,we cannot buy happiness with money,we are happy with money,that is important,have a nice day

In my opinion,money is very important to me.Because I have not much in my pocket and in my bank count,I just a poor man and a very very poor man.I can not afford my life fee. So I am eager for more and more money. But I will not to get the money through illegal means such as stealing,rob and so on. I will earn money through my ability. Of course,if you want to give some money to me, I would not oppose.

Money is not everything. For many I expect it replaces what they have not got. Unfortunately, without it, many of the issues that can divide us do arise. Enough would be ideal- but we all have a different idea of what that is.

Money is definitely not everything. Money can provide us with our basic needs and necessities,but in the end, money is just a device. It does not control our emotions,what challenges we face,who the people we love. Some people do value money much more that the important things,but these people realizes, in the end, which is quite late, that they were wrong in believing that money is everything to them.

I think you have considered too much.Earning money and being happy do not conflict.You can do whatever you want,meanwhile earn money.I believe they can be a unity.
