Money or Family which one is most important?

Perhaps at different stages of one's life, there is an opportunity to choose one over the other ... Perhaps we could spend time earning money to save so we can later spend more time with family ... What do you think ?

I prefer family over money anytime. I can live without a lot of money but without family we are nothing. I have really come to know this recently in my life as I have looked at my life. Life is short and it's important that we don't spend all of it working and overlooking what really matters.

Why would money be more important than family? If we didn't have money, which some people don't then all you would have is family and I know when I need someone my parents/family are there. Unlike money, it's something that doesn't really matter. If you live your life and are wise in what you do, then it's pretty clear that family is million times the value of money. true happiness comes with family and money can be the root of all evil. Greed is not a very nice friend.

You know my friend. It's not suit to say money versus family because it will diminish the value of family when we are always compare it to money... Money is a kind of valuable that we need to buy anything to have clothes, shoes and many others. It doesn't mean that if we don't have money, we are die? Because even if we don't have money we live...Family is the important recourse in our life...It useless to have more money but no family that love us... Have a great day!

This one should be a no brainer. Of course family is the most important thing of all. Money can't buy the love of your family.

Well, I prefer to have a happy family than having much money. Yes we need money to be able to live in this material world we lived in but money's not everything. Its much important to have someone to talk and laugh with. Someone who will comfort you when you are sick. I think money is just secondary, when you have a supportive and happy family around you, then you've got all the reason to be inspired and work hard for the financial stability of your family. Have a good day ahead!

Family is much more important but.. needing the money to take care of family is important too. It can be a difficult situation sometimes so you have to make the best of family times. The time you do have together has to be a special time especially if you do not have a lot of it.

It's my family more than anything else. Money is just a way to buy things that we need but money can't buy you a family.

Money no question b/c with enough of it U can buy a better Family...SIKE! FAMILY ALL THE WAY FOR ME.

I guess everyone would say family and i would say that too but in some cases especially here in India i would say that many people give priority to money rather than to family. The rich continue to become richer and the poor become more poorer. So it's been very difficult for people to maintain families without any proper management. Here they would give priority to money as many families are living below the poverty line.But still i would say that i want my family more than money. Cheers!

Family is much more important than money. But, let's face it, we need to have money for our family. Your discussion is pretty much similar to what happened to me. When I graduated from college, my mom asked me to work abroad. I did not follow her advice and so I was not able to save much. Now that I am already married, my husband once asked me to follow him abroad. I cannot imagine leaving my two kids behind just for money.

Money is the currency that is essential for human life in this world, but for my family is the most important, very, very important family than money.

It seems that for many people in today and society, money has become the things they most cherish. It is apparent in the endless hours many people devote to their job. For some, their identity is wrapped into how much money they have. Money may be the only things they can want to talk about, or the measure by which they judge themselves and others. Family would always be come first and be the "most" cherished thing for a person. Without family many people realize they would have very little in their lives or that the things they had would no longer mean much. For people with real values, they realize that money is a means to support their families. But, as long as their best needs are being met, they would rather be a poor but surrounded by family than rich and alone. Such people recognize the value of love and human connectedness. They realize that life is about giving and being there for others. These were place money before family are falling to teach their children proper values and they are not properly guiding them by stages of child development. children are often left with no role model in the home. Instead they turn to television and video games for companionship. Let's hope though, that one day soon there will be a shift one in which more people start to realize that money will not buy then total happiness in life. Yet, let's hope that more people will remember that one of their priorities should be their love ones and not to the almighty dollar.

Money is important but family is priority. We need money to survive while we need family's support to get pass difficult periods in life. Money can be used up one day, while family support and love are forever. Money is a priviledge to those who has it, while family is a luxury because not everybody has them. Money can solve most problems but it can't buy us love and real kinship. Most important of all, money can always be earned again, but when we lose a family member, that will be forever and too late for regrets.

Family would always need to come first, but I would hope that my family would fully support me if I had to work many hours and not see too much of them. In reality there cannot be an option of family or earning money because if we do not work, we do not have money to buy homes, food and clothing. _Derek

ofcource!.. family is the very important of all, if you don't have family life is worthwile....

Oh my God! for me. the most important is my family, because I cannot bUy a family like my family, it may not happen. I can have my family to help each other and find work so, we can have money for our needs.

its always family that comes first.. if you lost money you can earn it by working..it is easy to find money.

I choose family, because my family is much important than money because what's the use of money if you are not happy with it.because money will gone easily. I choose my family because they are much valuable than the money.

Family is most important. You have a life time to make money. Family and friends may not be here for the total duration of your life. They are much more important.
