MONEY, the root of all evil ??

Enough would be fine :)

Its a sad thing really. Wanting or relying on money to make you happy..Dont you think? I mean, I suppose just having enough to get by would make me happy..Having enough for the occassional treat also! But really, I think its how we view ourselves..That is the key to being happy.

i want just enough money to take the pressure off because other than that, i am pretty happy with my life in general.

It is precisely that money is considered the root of evil that one can really appreciate the finer side of money. It all depends on how much money the person has and how much the person love money and how wise is the person in managing money. A person lacking money will want more money. Once he has the money, he will wish for more. The more he wish to own money, the more mercenary he becomes and once he becomes slave to money, the root of all evil arises.

Hey Haddo, you have it all wrong! There is nothing wrong with money but when you love money so much that you will do anything to achieve it - that's where the evil comes in. the Bible says that the "love of money is the root of all evil" and if something is wrong with money then why does the same Bible says that money answers all things. Nothing is wrong with wanting to earn money honestly in order to meet your needs. Right now I wish I had to million Jamaican Dollars to ease the stress I am now going through but other than that I am quite content to earn at the job I am while looking for a better paying one. I agree with you that not having to worry about paying bills from day to day would be a dream come true ... one I am still praying about. Hope I made some sense here.

Its personal opinion, but money is infact something that EVERYONE wants. Because no one can live without money these days as its just not possible. As inflation increases, poverty increases. Hence having more money will obviously help you out. Although I don't consider money to be everything in life. There are other things as well. But being on the discussion of money only, indeed I would like to have a lot of money. But hunger for money is different based on who or well off the person is. A poor man can be satisfied with as little as 100$ to pay their bills but with richer guy, even 100000$ might not satisfy him. As man gains money, his desire for money increases.

dON'T GET ME WRONG A MILLION would be great but i know that's never going to happen at my age. I would like tohave a little more coming in every month where i didn't ever have to worry, could just sit down & pay my bills w/no effort involed.

this is a misquote!taken from the bible it never says that money in and of itself is evil what it says is "the LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL""Not the money itself (1st Timothy 6'10)

I feel the same as you. I would be very happy with being comfortable versus rich. I do think that money can be the root to evil...I think that when people are hungry or suffering that money is very tempting for relief. There are a lot of people that give in to the power that money offers. I don't think they ever really win though.

Everything in this world is money. From a single piece of pepper you are going to use for cooking cost money to a single drop of oil on your pan. We live to earn money to be able to put food in our stomach to live. When we get sick, we are charged with number as in 12345.... not with hug and kisses. So how much money would make me happy? Just enough to pay my needs, my wants and for emergencies.

with money u will be able to solve 99% problems ,hence money is very important ,you can have all comforts of life ,their may be some problems ,but they are minor

Money is really an evil thing BUT if you know how to manage and spend it in a right direction, I think there would be no problem! If you share your money with the needy and help those children who can't go to school. Wow that would be heaven for you!

Money is the root of all evil only to those who do not understand the law of giving. They are those who violate the law of nature by taking what is not due them or those who steal from others. When our life becomes abundant we must let the blessings overflow so that others can be happy too. Money can be helpful to many people who really need it when used/given for the right reasons. As for me, some millions would really make me happy! lol

We can assume money is the root of all evil. Ever wonder, when money made essential in human daily life, criminal starts to target it and rob from those who are weak. Instead, when someone have a lot of money, they could buy military power and able to control the government (in case the government is poor). Anyway, money is a need and we cannot avoid from having them and using them to buy for our daily needs.

Money itself cannot make you happy but some people do enjoy the pursuit of money. I have a brother-in-law like that. He's a business man...involved in many things and always working on the next deal...the next challange. My husband and I, on the other hand, are comfortable and we're satisfied with that. We don't have to count every penny, are able to travel when we want to and our life is less stressful.

Money is not the root of evil. People can do evil things without the money as an involved. People kill becoz of hatred and angry from betrayal,and the reason is love not money. It is the person who is an evil and not the money. It is the person who spent the money for doing evil things. It is the person who manipulates the evil things and make money as a medium.

It can be the root of all evil if not used responsibly. As for your question, enough to comfortably pay all bills month in and month out would make me happy. Having a little extra would not be so bad either.

Yeah money is not what causes people to become evil , it is their love of money that determines if they will be a evil cold hearted person.Our society needs money as a means for exchange and without it we could not function properly in this technologial stage in humans evolution.Having a lot of money ,ie to much to use properly is likely to cause problems, but haveing a resonable enough to enjoy ones self is acceptable.

Actually, the LOVE of Money is the root of all evil. Money itself is not evil.

Money is not the root of evil. HUMAN is!
