money is important, money is a need. money is a source of living, and we worked for it. but as what Jesus said, in the Bible, MONEY CANNOT BUY LIFE, MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS...

Money has great significance now a days. Respect, status etc., attatched with the money. I need money to live a better life. I have to pay the monthly bills, rent and other family needs, so I need money.

hello, Yes, money is very important in the way of living of every person. We need it everyday for us to survive, as the new generation it is getting harder to earn money, because its is value is getting low that is why much harder to earn. Yes, that is true money cannot buy happiness and life. But you can enjoy life and you can be happy with money. It is actually depends on how does we treat money in our life.

i think money is important because we need it in order to afford our daily needs like water, food and shelter. But then the addiction of earning money to the extent of doing bad things such as killing and stealing and robbing is bad.

I think money is really important because it is the number one reason couples break up and fight. Without money, you can't live and if you can't live, you aren't happy. Money is a necessity to enjoy life because everything you do costs money. If you don't have any money and you are constantly worried about it, how can you be enjoying life? I think this is the main ingredient that can make people people happy or unhappy.

I hate when people say money can't buy happiness. It's so stupid. It can certainly improve your life, feed you, pay your bills, keep you in health care. without money you're starving on the streets. That's just a stupid saying only people with plenty of money say.

Money is very important to me. So important that I can hardly bear to spend it. I've got $600 in cash sitting around and I can't think of anything to do with it. I consider the money I earn on the Internet, though, to be "bonus" cash so I don't have such qualms about spending it.

Money is a tool that allows us to build our lives. A carpenter for example will not create a good piece of work without his hammer. Like a carpenter, unfortunately we cannot create happiness without some money. Of course the carpenter loves the finished product and not the hammer just as we need to concentrate on our happiness and not fall in love with the money we need to build our happiness.

money is important , and more important if you have family and kids. in your quote "MONEY CANNOT BUY LIFE, MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS" this is true because some of people that i knew they have what they like Money , cars , big houses , many investments , in short rich people they are not happy they don't have friends , there family is not that close , in short they are alone as many people say if you die can u take your money with you? some poor or not that poor maybe half - half they are happy they have a good communication in there family and friends some also are saying its okay if we don't have much money as long as we know that we are happy i have my family my friends and we eat 3 times a day its okay for them i admit that many of us has a point of view .

I agree with you completely. If someone believes money can buy happyness they have no idea what real happyness is. However we should use money and make it work for us rather than run from it. A fact of life is that money is needed even to do good. And it is easier to be happy if you know that you will eat tonight than if you really have nothing. But everyone who can read this has a computor. So I do not believe it is that extreme.
