hi friends,i have seen some people giving more importance to money than their friends,relatives.all the relations are mainly ruined due to the financial matters and also the respect is given only for the rich but not the poor,money is created by man for his needs,but now a days money plays a role than every thing,my opinion is money should be money and its a necessary but not life.

Money is the tool to live better with. It helps achieve what we want in life. If you live away from civilization, maybe money is not much needed. You can still live with what you grow around you. You don't need decent clothes either.
All in all, money is very important in our modern life. I am sure you agree with me.

I got your point. Other people thought that money is one of the most precious thing on Earth. Others would consider working for money, they also think of it as their life, pathetic right? As for me money is just a necessity. We need it in order for us to survive, but make sure that we live in the world wherein we are not getting controlled of money.

Money is simply a form of energy we use to exchange with each other so we can have what we want and need. It can be used to bless the lives of others when we are generous as well as blessing our own lives.
A happy and healthy lifestyle includes money but is not about being obsessed with the almighty dollar.

Money is definitely required.At the same time we can't forego everything for the sake of money.Money depends on the person to put it to good use.In other words,the nature of the person .Its like something useful,what use you put it depends on your nature.We feel revulsion when we see those around us spend all their energy in accumulating money while giving a go by to their personal and other aspects of life.

I totally agree with you money is just NECESSITY and shouldn't suffer your relationship to other people just because they are poor. The problem nowadays is that it is becoming life. Wherein I really feel that people hate you as hell just because you don't have money and they are becoming rude to you just because you are not rich. Too bad money is like status symbol as well.
That is what I am experiencing to my relatives as well especially for my cousins who are living in USA. Just because we are not rich then they tend to say such things to our other relatives and other people, they badmouthed us. In their weddings they are only inviting people who are rich. Our relationship as first cousins were ruined just because of money. Too bad the value of their life is just about the money. Where in fact they are supposed to be smart enough that money is an object which is just for necessity and again that is not status symbol. It is only an advantage that if you have plenty of money you can buy other extra ordinary things even the luxuries.

For me it is a necessity that we need everyday for us to survive and provide all the things that we need to live.In case that you make money is your life,it could cause some consequences if you don't use it properly and responsibly.

well i think money is necessity not life because it is needed to live life and it is not true that if you have no money then you will die.see we to live life we want food,air,water these are the most important things that we need to live life.but money is needed to live life easily and with more facilities that is why we want more money.

money is just a necessity and not a life. maybe we can consider money as a part of life because we need it in order to live and survive for a better living. it is not life because, we could live without money but not in as easy as today. it would be easier to us to live without money if and only if all things in this world are free. however it we look at it, many people will become greedy enough to get all the things they want. so money must still be used to control the people. control the way people live, not to control the people to live. hope you get what i mean. :)

Money is just some pieces of paper, made by our society.
If this system someday would end, you'd realise what you have in your hands, think about things differently than you do now.
So yeah, In my opinion money are totally not life, people undervalue the simple things of life (from taking a nice walk to just sit and stare at the sky) and consider important things less importants because they have Different priorities.
But always thinking at the scenario above, you'd realise it's much important having those simple things and also love (friendships, family, general relations) over money.
Even if the scenario above is pretty much impossible (and/or similar), think for a moment how rich people feel, they always have to wonder if those relations are real or if they are after their money, they totally IGNORE those small things and feelings which should make them feel alive, instead they feel alive by having more and more...
It's like having the possibility to live by having something else other than blood inside you, you'd keep living apparently just like the other people around you, maybe be more cool than them (as not having blood would be IMPOSSIBLE, what crazy examples I do lol) but you'd feel different, think different and be empty inside you.
Money (because whatever we like it or not, WE DO LIVE in this society and there's nothing we can do about it and if there is, it would take long) is and should be just an extra, just think about a farmer which is not rich but has lots of love, a family, friends, etc. and all those small things in his life which he values more than anything else and a day he wins a money prize (a really big one) and he becomes rich (or works really hard and becomes rich).
It's likely he will just consider it as an extra because for all his life he lived with different priorities and different values and he already understood that money is a must for our society and an extra valuing other things.

Money is a necessity but i dont think that it is life. It simply plays a great part in life because most of the things we need had a corresponding monetary value. I still go with the famous adage that "Money cant buy hapiness"
