I completely agree . Money is important in our lives but happiness and health would be more important , without both of these in our lives money would not have much value to us and although many think money will make them happier it never does .

I agree. Money is useful and we need a lot of it, but it's not everything. It can't buy a lot of things like love, peace of mind.

I do agree. Money is important, but by far not the most important and it most certainly doesn't make you happy in the end. I've noticed that as long as we have money to provide us with the necessaties of life, such as food, a comfortable home(doesn't need to be super luxurious), decent clothes to put on our backs and whatever else we need to make our lives better, we tend to be happy. I've often thought about this because sometimes when I purchase an item I really wanted, such as a nice piece of furniture or something else that I don't really need, there is a feeling of emptiness once I bought it. I sometimes feel ridiculous for wanting it so much and then realizing it didn't really bring me any kind of happiness or satisfaction whatsoever, except for being decorative. So, my conclusion is that having a certain amount of money is important and very necessary today, but too much of it is useless and vain. Some people have several cars and 12 bathroom houses. How many cars do we need, how many bathrooms do we actually need in our house??? How many rooms will you occupy in your home? It's quite ridiculous when you think about it.
The society we live in today would want us to believe that loads of money and material things are what truly make us successful and happy when this is, in fact, the biggest lie. Happiness is found in the real things, the little things of life. Your family, a puppy dog, a laughing baby, a calming walk on the beach or in the park, sitting by the fire while reading a great book, learning to play a musical instrument. There are so many things that make life beautiful and fascinating. A surplus of money just isn't one of them.

yeah money is very very important ,,,but it cannot be most important cuz...if u have lot fo money ..but have no good health, no good friends/relatives, no peac of mind ..then that lfie is a waste. i personally feel good health is most important...if we have good health we can work a lot and then earn for our living.

I would put it in a better way like this" Money is important but not an end in itself" without money nothing can be done that is why we are all here, but if we concentrate on money alone life would be forgotten and only money would be left for some one. we ned to control money and not allow money to control ourselves.

Money should not be our greatest concern, yet it is massively essential to living. If we had absolutely no money.. how would you eat, shelter, or put any clothing on your back? In a metropolitan living, we really dont produce thing by our own hands, like farming or cutting down a tree and building a home from it. So the dollar.. is greatly important.
