Can money buy everything?

Sure money can buy a lot of things but it can't buy you happiness, it can't by you more time with friend or family. It can by you love, or respect. Money sure can buy a lot of things but certain things never. There might be people that will come to because you got money but that doesn't mean they want to be with you.

Seems to me that if you have those non-tangible things...money is what helped you get it. Ever tried to make a HOME in a cardboard box or under a tree? Ever tried to have the time to do something, without money to get you what you need to do whatever it is you are doing? I dont' know that money can buy a position, but if it can...you'll get the respect from those below you since they on your payroll. Have you ever tried to get a good nites sleep on the curb or a park bench? And most medicines are for keeping you healthy or making you healthy or well from a sickness. Ever tried to life without blood? I think that everyone is so into "positive thinking" and thinking as you have described here..but the thing is...bottom line...money does buy happiness. What is confused is when people aren't happy even tho they have alot of money..well...look at what they have done with the money they have. It is all in how you spend the money, and what you do with the money that determines whether the money buys you happiness. Most go out and blow the money on a high priced car or house. Well... that money comes to an end and you still have the mortgage or car payment and car insurance and all to pay for...and then without hte money they can't so they are back in the poor life they came out of..unhappy. Well, if they had invested that money properly so that they could live a comfortable life in a neighborhood style home, bought a car that was reasonably accomoating and not just for show...they'd be happy as they wouldn't have to be clipping coupons just to make end meet and they'd have a nice, comfortable income for years to come. Spend it wisely and it will make you happy. Just ask anyone that doesn't have any money...ask them how happy they are! No one likes being poor and without

Hi! Money could buy anything, it is debatable. However, those with plenty of money and wealth are always able to succeed in their life and could afford to buy luxuries and comforts of life. Actually, those who have plenty of money think that they could buy anything, any service and any person. One just can not survive without 'money' in today's world.

Most of them think that money is everything. People can have land,car,buses or even the whole world. The reality is that they cannot have the love,respect,time or life with it. Such things play an important thing in every one life. I jut meant that money is necessary for our needs but never have them by hurting others because money cannot get back the lost things.

In this generation we have a different thinking about the importance of money. Money can surely buy respect. Who earns the more respect, the poor or the rich? If you sleep in a comfortable bed with all the trappings of wealth, I bet you will sleep more soundly that one who sleeps with a leaking roof or a piece of cardboard as bed. We can also buy wisdom with money since we can go to good schools and no matter if you are not intelligent enough, you get to learn more. The poor don't even have the privilege of going to school. If you have money, you can eat the more nutritious foods rather than when you are poor. With love, who says you cannot buy love? Between the poor and the rich, whom do you think will be the better choice? I am not particularly obsessed with money but that is just the way things are right now. Given the choice, I will choose to have more money than suffer the deprivations of the poor. That is probably the reason why we are all trying our best to earn more and more.

You bring up very good points that I definitely agree with. This pretty much explains the quote "Money can't buy happiness," but it can buy the items that make a person happy. I would like to think I'm not obsessed with money as I seen some people are. Many have dreams of becoming millionaires and owning big houses but I would be find with a house big enough for when I have a family and cars that are decent and run good. I would love to never have to be debt and maybe have extra to get items I would like to have or maybe even buy gifts for family and friends of mine.

I have to agree with what you are saying.Money can buy a lot of things,but not everything.It defintley cannot buy you love.

There are excellent posts here about the magic of money. Newbies can take a leaf from them as lessons to guide them on the labyrinthine path to adult life. To answer the question, can money buy everything? Yes, is my response. Money can readily buy worldly and tangible things, especially those that have price tags. Yes, money can buy everything that are sold. Money is powerless on inanimate and virtues because they aren't for sale.

Nice discussion i agree, let me add, it can buy a woman, not wife, it can buy man not husband, it cant buy peace of mind, love or affection. Professor

I am agree with you. Money can buy something but can not buy every thing. It is important but it is not a key for everything in our life. We need money for our life then we have to work to earn money everyday and let money service us.

Well, same as yours. You have said everything already. Though I'm not well off I have the same opinion as yours.

I agree with you that money can't buy everything, but it can also be related to the non-material things in some instances as well. For example, you are not very satisfied with yourself if you couldn't buy a bed for your child to sleep in (just using one of your examples) and I can guarantee they won't be sleeping that great either if they sleep on the floor. I guess what I am trying to say is money can give you piece of mind, that you have the ability to purchase the important needs as opposed to how you are emotionally when you can't. So, can money buy everything, obviously you can't, but money can buy things to make you happy and keep you from struggling.

hi,i agree totally yes it can buy us all the materials things,which would give us some measure of happiness,but it really cant buy u the important stuff

Yes money can buy a lot of things but there are also a lot of things it cannot buy. Just look at all the rich people who cannot find true love. They become suspicious of people dating them or wanting to marry them. Ever heard of people saying "oh you just want me for my money, you don't really love me". Or "you just married me for my money". Being rich causes people to become suspicious like that. If you think money can buy happiness, just look at all the miserable rich people. Yes, money can buy nice things. Yes money can make your life more comfortable. I'd rather cry in a nice, big, comfortable house than on the street. If I became homeless and was forced to live out of my car I'd rather it be in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. So yes, money can buy the things that make your life a little bit easier or more comfortable, but there are certainly some things that money cannot buy.

No, I don't think that money can buy you everything. Sure, it does help to help provide for some basic needs, such as food, shelter, and such, but it can't buy love, or friendship, and things like that.

" CAN`T BUY ME LOVE ", so sang The Beatles and how right they were.Besides what you have written love is one of the greatest virtues that money can`t buy.Love makes the world go round.Without love there would be no wife, no family, no children, no pets, no home and so on and so forth.Money can give us a comfortable life and the ability to buy perishable goods which we soon get bored and tired of.Money can give us the opportunity to help others in need until they are able to stand on their own feet.

Well money can really buy the things that can lead to other things. However, there are certain things where the tools that money can buy need to be utilized properly to lead to those things, that you mentioned like home, time, respect, wisdom, and pretty much everything that comes with a lot of the hard work. Let me put it this way. I can buy all of the tools that I need to succeed in something. But if I do not rather put in the hard work in implementing them, then I have just flushed a great deal of money right down the toilet. So really, money can buy the tools but it is up to the people to use them in a way where the concepts are played well.

Hello friend.....Money takes a important part in the Life.Money helps me foe buy/got material thing.The biggest dark factor of money for greedy people which know everything money.Without we don,t concept spend our life in a smooth way but we cannot get happiness,peace,joy with money.......

I think you are right.However I found a program which you may e of interst. They pay money for displaying anners on your websites and articles.You earn some money,your time gets going wonderful and you learn something new.It is www.homezwork.com

I don't think money can buy everything. Though it is sad, that it kinda seems to be that way. Money talks in a lot of ways. Seems you can get almost anything done for the right amount of cash. It's sad. There is too much greed. It would be nice if the power money was not so strong.
