Earning money may often become an addiction.

Earning money is a necessity to all. But soon it becomes an addiction to some. It is definitely bad and undesired in life as proper enjoyment of life is not then possible. Do you support such mentality? Have you developed any such addiction to earning money?

Money is a big addiction, the more you get, the more you want. balance is important between enjoyment and work to live a happy life.

I am in desperate situation, so earning money is definitely a necessity right now. I would say it can be an addiction, but I really want that money, more and more is the best. I won't stop now, and I will find every single opportunity to earn more and more money. I won't say it is a bad addiction, at least I have to make sure my family and I can live through it comfortably.

Hi there DoctorDidi!! I also sometime want to earn money.But I always try to control myself and always put in my head that money is not everything in this world.I don't want money to be the center of my life.As much as possible I'd like to have just enough money to enjoy life.I guess having too much is bad.

DoctorDidi ..While I feel proud of myself for making money I am not addicted to doing so and feel sorry for people who are. I think there is some type of insecurity going on with those who feel driven to make more and more money beyond a reasonable point...

Yes, you are right, these people may always feel unsecured and so always run after making money and rarely find any spare time to enjoy life.

I would say that I am addicted to looking for opportunities that fit me and my talents. I am not necessarily addicted to the money making part. I am pregnant with my first child and I am looking for ways to supplement my income when I go on maternity leave. I can't say that I support or don't support the mentality because I do believe that money making is just a part of an adults life. But for myself, I have not developed an addiction to earning money. It is just a normal priority for me, my husband and my daughter to be.

Personally I agree... Earning money online does become an addiction. It is usually something that really seems to motivate a lot of people to where they want it to continue to where they are always trying to find ways to earn more. Whether it be from Writing, an Online Business, etc. it is really a good thing to do.

Yes!! I have so much fun earning online & get a buzz when I receive my cashouts that it has become a big addiction for me...I find that these days, I don't really do anything that doesn't earn me money.

Like any other goal that centers your whole attention this may not be the best way to live your life. But again we do not know what went before in past lives, karma is a ruling hand in all our lives. What you sow, so shall you reap, so says the Bible and other Holy Books. Because of this I try not to be judgemental of how any one else lives. Blessings

Well yes, since I figured out I can and have earned online, I have bigger plans of online earning and so naturally, I'm addicted to online earning. And do I support such mentality? Maybe, I support ambitions and my mentality is to become independent from my family and give them a good life and have a good one myself, so why not?

Now a days I am very busy to make more and more money. I think this will really make you life the worst. Sitting in-front of the computer to do the tasks for a long time. I think this will surely make us to miss lot of enjoyments in our life.

Money is a very important component in our lives. Those who say money is not everything, are either filthy rich or simply hypocrites. To me earning money is almost an addiction, rather than an obsession. In the absence of money or the lack of it, we cannot live peacefully and happily. That is why I love, care and value my work and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

According to me it is not considered as an addiction,it is just an hobby by doing this it makes us or gives us an increase in all the standards.Earning money nowadays plays a very significant role in everybodys life today,there are lott ways to do or make it possible.No,I take everthing very sportive.I am a student,i want to earn money inorder to stand on my own feet and i dont still want to be a big headache to my parents.When i earn money,i can take alll my responsibilities in my head rather then putting all onto my parents head instead. Peoples should understand this first.therefor,according to me earning money is not addiction.

Hi! I have been working in the most secured sector and I earn a handsome salary. I do not run after money and feel contended whatever I have. If one is running after money, there is no end to his or her greed. There are many in this world who just think about money, even in their dreams and lose their peace of mind in the pursuit of finding money. What about you?

I enjoy earning online but i am not addicted of it. i do not really care how much i will earn online or here in mylot. I will keep online until i can. Regular work is still my source of income and online earning is the income that i will use in online activities. I do stay longer hours online but not develop the habit of addiction in earning online.

hello, earning is necessary to survive. But we are all human being and we have different needs. If one need satisfied other will arise. It is mentality on more over person to earn more and more. I think it is not bad if some one earn with fair means. Addiction and desire are different things.

When ppl start any new thing it depend upon their interest till when it remain . many ppl like earning online first and when they see results they give more effort . this continuous until ppl see them addicted to earn and it no longer remain a hobby ,.

Before, I think I'm addicted with earning money online. Because I think it usually happen if it is the first time you've heard about it. But now, I think I'm not addicted to it anymore because there are too many scam sites. What makes me not addicted to it anymore is my friends. I think I'm giving too much time and not attending with our reunion anymore. I think this makes me become a prison. I'm always staying at home searching for all day. Now, I'm not really eager to earn money online. Just use my vacant time in thinking of online jobs. Anyway, I;m still young and still in my college. About job, I'll think of it when I graduated college. Hope you have a nice day.
