I believe everyone atleast most of them in the world would be so crazy and dying,rattling and craving for money all the time and working for it full fledged and giving a go at it all the time,but i Think they are waste and just a piece of paper which is shattering dream of individuals.

I think that life is very stressful and boring without money. Money is a necessity to have a quality of life. There have been some years where I was poor. It was very hard on me. I am not rich now but I have enough to pay my bills without problem and still have some luxuries such as a computer, iPad and vacations. I also am able to eat well.
I am not greedy. I do not work excessively. I only work p.t.. I am not a spend thrift. I do eat well and enjoy haircuts, pedicures and massages. Most of my extra money is spent on technology and vacations.
There are those in the world who are greedy and can not get enough money. They have so much that they can not enjoy what they have and they want more and more. They are never satisfied but I am not even close to one of them.
But as someone who once had nothing and now I have some things, my life has improved incredibly. I would be afraid to be without money again.

I am a senior citizen and receive social security as well as working p.t. I also live in HUD housing for lower income seniors. My rent is based on income and I have a really good deal. Also, I am a severe insomniac. There is a research facility that used to use me to test sleep aids and paid me well. They no longer use me but I was able to put away a lot of money. That is how I bought my computer and travel. I have one large savings account from my sleep studies. When the money is gone, it is gone and I will not be able to replace it.
I have had a difficult and challenging life. I know what it is like to be very poor. I no longer am but I still am not affluent. Because of this savings account, HUD housing and social security as well as my p.t. job, I have a decent life. But when the savings account goes, I will have to scale down.

it is true but unavoidable, without money life as we know will be miserable, try to imagine if we do not have a single dime at all and we want to go some where or do something, we cannot even afford bus fare or buy food..
\unless we choose to live as a hunter gatherer or grow own food, we do not have much choice but live our lives seeking for the stupid paper that we can exchange for things or services or go places but which we also trade our own time in exchange otherwise we may starve

thinking over it i realize that i hate money simply because i never seem to be able to earn enough of it to do all that i want to do. it is so frustrating, i am annoyed at money because my needs are simple and it just takes a certain amount for me to be able to afford all i want to do in my life and i ll be happpy,the amount is not a unrealistic figure but still so elusive that i am beginning to really despise money and the idea of working and trying to get enough of it to do what we want to have a bit of satisfaction in our lives but it seems so bleeding difficult to be in that situation, thats why i hate money coz i can't get enough of it but hating money doesn't mean that i don't want more of it, i will probably love it if i ever find myself easily getting a lot of it and not have to slog so dang much for it..

Yes but you can't access YouTube without internet access, which costs money. Then you need a computer, laptop, or cellphone to access the internet.. also costing money.

hi,
life is very boring if we do not have this money,because we will always think of it how can we have this in order to survive in our life,and aside from that without money we can not live especially in the city because all needs to pay with money.

I agree to an extent. Most of us live in a capitalist society. Where everyone is trying to make a buck. Why to pay bills first then if anything is remainig then maybe I am able to plan a vacation or a trip to the spa. The problem with making money is it takes up many hour in our lifetime. This time could be used to relax and enjoy simple pleasures like being with family and friends priceless and worthwhile.
In 2013 my focus is not on grabbing every money opportunity that comes my way. I no you might say She's crazy. I want to be selective and not desperate because lets face it, I haven't been introduced to an earning potential that deserves all my time and energy. I plan to live below my means and save enough to start a retirement account. I'm tired of living check to check. At least I'll have savings so I won't fall prey to giving all my time to building someone's business.

I'm not money hungry but I do work and provide for myself. I don't go chasing for more money for material things but money is important in order to live and have a few basic pleasures in life unless you have someone in your life that is willing to work hard and support you as well as themselves.

I think that with out any money spare than life would just drag, after all we all have to have money for items like a tv, internet a phone all the other little things that break that we all need.
Life with out things, or money is no joke, as there are always things that we need and that is with all the stress that not having any money can cause as well.

Huh? try paying a mortgage without it. Try paying lights, phone and Internet without it? Somebody has to earn money so you get to play on mylot. . It's something I never have enough of, but I do my best to live within my means.

I think money is not that destructive or evil. It really depends on how a person treats the money he has. First of all, you cannot have your internet without money. You cannot have the gadgets, food, shelter and clothing you are enjoying without money. Money is really a beneficial instrument.

If life is just about earning and making money, then this would be a world of people full of materialistic ideals. Life isn’t just about earning, it’s about appreciating all details that you have put on history in your life.
Living, breathing and appreciating even the smallest things that people give out to you, makes you more of a person with soul, a person who has a more meaning on existence rather than earning and somehow dying and blinded by money.

I think people who are 'money hungry' can in a sense go crazy for money... they perhaps don't realise they're wasting all their time chasing money, and not spending any time enjoying themselves (in which case what is the money even for?)... but I think for most people money is anything but boring. It lets you do so much, it can buy you a better quality of life. The concept of money is silly though, just a piece of paper, as you said.

Money makes people go crazy. They can go to distant places away from family for getting money. But have you ever thought what would life be like without money? I mean to say its like a goal for which we stay active, work and enjoy. If there was nothing called money, you would definitely lose interest in doing your favourite works.Money keeps you motivated for working throughout your life.

Life isn't boring to me with money, I need money to pay my bills, I need money for my book selling business, I need money to pay my rent, and light bill, and water bill, and gas bill, so I don't feel bored, to have money in my life.
