My friend just did chat with me and every sentence is money and money...he said this time he has not many things to do so that he has low income, no money for doing this, doing that...grrr, he would not stop talking about money and money till i changed the topic...
I understand that earning money is not easy in this time, many companies and businesses are collapsed, many people are unemployed in here now...but...

Ryan, nowadays money plays a very important role in our life. Almost everything we need money to buy, to be able to survive. I understand why he always mention about money in his topic. Because money is not easy to be earn nowadays. That’s why, we should always plan and budget wisely with our hard-earned money. Make sure that we spend them wisely on the most deserve items. So, we feel regret afterwards when we re-think back about those money that had gone.

Yes Kishore, those who have good internet skills, able to earn very good income through it. As for me, i haven't got the good skill to earn that good income yet.
That's why i prefer to plan and save as much as i can whenever it is possible. Because for me, earning good income is not that possible yet. Still in the process...

Hello ryanong,
Money is really a concern for people these days as nothing can be bought without it except the relationships but sometimes that too break in scarcity of money.Its hard to survive without money.I am getting good salary from offline job but still i think a lot before spending money as i always save it for future as i know in future i may need it.

Umh, i understand we need money for living...but i don't think my friend in need of money so much. He plans to do his business 2 months later, so that he should have money for it already.
Well, currently my income is not good as last 2 years but rarely i talk about money with the others...we have the health, it means we can make money...

It really seems to be a huge concern for so many people these days. With the cost of living going up and up we have no choice but to rely on money for ceertain things in life that we need. It's really sad I sometimes wish money just didn't exist

I can't agree more.Money is very necessary and if we don't have enough money we will live a very hard life.But how much money is enough? Different people have different answers.Money should not be everyday's main topic,we have a lot of other things to do except making money.Hope your friend can soon get rid of this concern and enjoy life.

I understand..out of money, we have many things to concern also..However, in city, if i don't have money, i can't have rice, fish, vegetable for eating while people in countryside can get it from their field, garden and pond. it will be a nightmare when living in the city without money...
Ya, i think my friend is in need of money..so that he talks a lots about money and money..i hope he can get rid of it soon.

Money is a big concern however a lot of the times people complaining about not having it like to blow it on things they don't need which is why bills are always unpaid etc. I have to wonder based on what you've said here, if your friend was hinting around hoping that you'd offer to let him "borrow" some?

hihih, no, he has no plan to borrow money from me. i understand that.he just likes to talk about it and blame about it to release his worry of money only.
Well, someone worries about money and currently they have no way to hain money fast..then the way they can do is talking...sometime i used to do like that when i am in need of money.

everyone has that concern today. its so hard to keep afloat its times its all we can think/worry about. and a lot of young people are making it harder on us older people because we know how to save and whats important. my kids dont know that they should pay bills first then buy what they want or do without. they borrow from me cause they cant learn this maybe your friend is either like them or like myself.

Yes, money is really a big concern for all of us. If you have it, you are concerned to lose it and to get more and more. If you have not it, you are concerned to get it.

It depends on the person saying it. If they are really struggling with not enough food or clothing and no money to get it I totally understand and can relate! But if the person just wants money for extra things it gets annoying hearing about it all the time. If they are truly hurting for money than we have more compassion listening to it...

I agree that money is part of our lives and everyone needs mone but its boring to talk about money 24/7 as if there is no other important subject we cant discuss. I do have friend like that, whatever our conversation it always became how she doesnt have money, how she wants to start a business, how she wants to buy car but no money, etc. I tried to give suggestion to start business from small thing so it can help to earn a little but she only wants to earn big income. I think money is important but no need to talk about it all the time

Ya, i agree with you also, sometime we talk about money it is ok but talking about it a lots is very boring...I am not interested in talking much about money. It just makes us headache only....
However i think my friend is in need of money so that he talks much about it recently..

That is totally true. We need money in almost everything. In going to work, groceries, pay monthly bills, rentals, tuition fees. etc. All we need to do is look for other income generating activities just to have an extra money to cover other expenses. Money is so vital, and hard to find nowadays. Thanks

It is a big concern my dear, if the person is in a really tight bind about money. As you said, money and jobs are so hard to come by at this time. When people got in trouble because of unpaid bills and overdue obligations, they can't help but just talk and thinl nothing but money.

Yes. Money is a big concern now because of the way we live now. When getting a job, I always consider my salary first before anything. My opinion on that is you have studied in school for about 4-5 years and you deserve to have a reasonable salary.

Hi friend, i think your friend is money minded, i agree money is important in our life and it is really hard to live without it, apart from it we have lot of things to chat and discuss. May be your friend is in deep financial crisis.
