Money is import in our daily life. It can buy us garment, delicacies, habitations, etc., but it cannot afford true love, friendship and intimacy. Almost all of us love money and pursue it, we are always not satisfied with the amount we make. We need a great deal of it to improve our life standards. It is not wrong to work for a lot of money but we should keep a rational and clear mind in earning money. Human beings are often greedy but meanwhile satisfied. We cannot live as Eugenie Grandet whose whole life goes after money until his death what on his mind is money. We work for money but do not live for money. How do you think of it?

While learning the art of making money, they forgot to learn the joy of being contented. So they became greedy. From wanting money to be their slave, they ended up as slaves to money. Then before they know it, it is all too late. Work, Earn and Use it wisely. Save some for rainy and old days. No one is rushing us to spend everything we earn except when we start chasing things we feel we deserve. But frankly, how much do we really need? Search the bible for truths to handle money. If it is too late for me now, at least I hope it is not too late for you.

Money is so essential. We need to earn it in order to survive in our daily lives. Without it, we can die starving. We can't blame people being greedy sometimes because we all know what money can do. We just need to discipline ourselves so tthat we won't become a slave to money.

We need money to survive, and it's nice to have a lot of money, but I also think it's important to be generous. Being greedy isn't a very good character trait. I'm not saying we should spend all our money without thinking about it, because it is also important to be economical. We have to find the middle ground. It is important not to lose sense of what is important because of money.

Definitely need money for survival. It's not good to be greedy or be that green eyed monster who envies rich people because money can't always buy happiness. It helps of course, but it is not everything.
