Many people think that money is everything in life. Having no money makes life impossible. We need money for everything. In my opinion, money isn't everything. Some important joys can't be bought. Money can't buy love, sleep and health. Is money everything in life? What is your opinion about that?

@RebeccasFarm I understand. Living without money is very stressful.

I agree with the statement as well as disagree with it. Mainly because money isn't everything of course. But it really depends on one's perspective about money. Some just see the money but do not understand all that it offers, and so they dismiss it as not as important.
I think they miss the point.
Money buys you freedom and time to pursue and do the things you want. Not be forced to use your time to pursue the needs and interests of others. It affords you the opportunity to be better prepared for things that happen. If there is money in the bank and the car breaks down, you don't have to yank out a credit card and pay 20% interest on the repair for the next 5-10 years. If you buy a new car you can reduce your payment and interest by thousands of dollars by simply having more for a down payment, or paying cash outright for it. You can take vacations when you want to, and go where you want to. If the job goes away tomorrow, you don't have to worry how you are going to pay the bills.
Money cannot buy happiness. It is not the most important thing in life. BUT, without it, one has generally more stress. They work more. The HAVE to work more because a lot of things they want and need go on credit cards and they always have to pay more for everything. People get stuck in the house unable to afford to go anywhere. They turn down dinner dates with friends because they can't afford a night out.
To me that's not happiness either. But again, it is all about perspective.
