Money is a very important thing in life.Money is not everything but everything starts with money.If we should always remember that we should not decide the value of relation in money and we should not feel rich if we have more money.If we have more money then we should have respect too and along with that we should love everyone and care for our close ones.According to me we can give nice lifestyle to our family by earning money,we earn lots of money by spending most of the time for work.So we should find a quicker and legal way to earn the money so we can spend more time with family.

Money is important..... just as far as it pays the bills and allows me to save a little bit to meet other needs (clothing, medications) and to pay for birthday gifts, etc for my daughter. Personally, I live off of about $500/mo right now. Many people could not do it, but I do. We live a menial existence. We get our food. It's not gourmet, but it feeds us. There's sturdy shelter and water and proper utilities. We have clothes and shoes on our feet, even if they are second hand and aren't fashion designs. We have internet, so I can work my job, and very limited telephone use, but no cable tv and not much that we can use the phone, so we watch videos, tv episodes, etc online together. We don't have a lot of phone time, so we use email/social networking as much as possible. We dont have a car, so when one of us has to go soewhere, we all try to go and maake a family deal out of it. We dont have alot of money to spare, and we talk openly about it to my child. She gets some gifts at holidays, but she's more interested in spending time with family and values that moreso than the gifts. So... as you can see, money doesnt make my world go round :)

For me, I think the key with money is to invest or find some way to have residuals coming in for the rest of your life. If you can work hard today and still earn money tomorrow, then that is the route to take. I hope that the hard work that I do today will pay off in the long run. I work hard in many aspects of my life, some are for an hourly wage, however others are in hopes to earning money in my retirement. There are many things that do not seem to be worth it short term, and many people think that I work way too hard for the income that I bring home. But, I know they will all pay off in the long run, and that is what matters to me.

Dear friend, Moeny is important to purchase those things by it. But more than that I give importance to love, affection, humanity and other values of life. If I have a good sincere person to love I hope that person would provide me that I can buy through money.

I think money is always important for a person. Because a person doing hard working only for money. Because he/she know well that nothing is possible without money. And I have also seen to peoples whom have much money and every person give respects to them even there are also many person who have no money means they are poor and no one give them respects. So I want to say that if you have money then you can buy anything even power also.

i think money is not that much to me.my view on money is that i just want myself not troubled with the money.too much or little money would just annoyed me.i just want some money to cover my live.i can take some of my money to help my family.and have a certain amount of money for my rainy days.it's all to me.i think the most important thing is that you live happily with the money instead of caring how much money do you have.

For me the main importance of money is to make sure that our bills are paid. However, if I was to rank the most important things in my life, it would come far after my children, my husband and my family that I grew up with. People are far more important to me in my life than is money. Money is one of those things that it is very nice to have, but if I had to do without it, I think that I could within reason.

There's a saying that "Money is not everything, but without money we can do nothing". Nobody could deny the importance of money in the society. If we have enough money, we could buy many goods and enjoy high quality services. But few people would say that money is the most important thing in their lives and that's the truth. There are something which could not be bought or replaced by money. For instance, the love the parents show towards their children is priceless. Most parents will sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children if it is necessary. Compared with the love, money is not that important.

Even though I think that money is not that important, it is still part of one's life to survive. You need money so you can buy food, clothes and other necessary things. Everyday, a person has to spend some money like going to work and eating.

Money by all means is important. It runs our daily life. However, money should not be given very high importance. It only helps us to purchase materials for properly running our life. What is most important that we have earned such money honestly. We should follow simply one principle-'Earn Honestly, Spend Lavishly'.

Money is very important to me since it keeps me alive. I'm not saying I enjoy money in fact I hate it, but one can't live without it. The reason I hate money is because, in my opinion, I think it's evil...it causes many people to do horrible things like steel, kill, and such.

Hi,for my point of view money is very important to me because we all spent money everyday.For example if were going somewhere we need money for transportation,and the most important things that money can buy are the foods.Their are other thing that money cannot buy, like happiness,love and friendship.

The pursuit of wealth or even financially independence has been my lifelong downfall. The ways in which I attempted to obtain wealth were not particularly illegal but were ill advised. This led me to one conclusion: "Money is the root of all Evil". On the flip side, my last few years of being monetary deficient has also been not so appealing. While not caring about the almighty dollar has been relatively stress free, my social and personal life have been affected. So that puts me in a quagmire of decisiveness. In a nutshell; I can't live with it and I can't live without it. Wait, that's a quote about women. Do you see what I mean?

They say "money is not everything" but in fact how could you pay your dues liek electricity, internet, food without money? It is impossible isn't it? And if someone says "hey, money is not everything" I would say "ok it's not everything but I can't do without them". Sometimes in my life moneys has been everything...
