I wonders sometimes how important is money in our lifes and why is it so important. Nowdays even young children have just one aim in life to have lots of money and in the barain they tend to do any thing. Can we forget all our principles and go ahead doing anything for money

I remember when I was a kid, my dad said, "honey, money is for buying stuff. If you work really hard and you have surplus, and if you want a new TV, it's OK. But if you work hard and aren't able to get something like a new TV, then it would be sad." I really like the way my dad described it. I think with money, we don't have to worry about the next meal, the next rent, the next clothes, the next ...etc. so much but it certainly is not my goal in life. I wouldn't and won't give up me and my principles just for the sake of money. I am no money earning machine and I don't want to be a money freak. When we die, we have to leave them all behind anyway. I think it brings comfort to life but it is just part of life, not the whole/ aim of life.

Money is really important specially today. People can even kill one another all because of money. Sad to say, wihtout money, its really impossible to have a beautiful life nowadays. We can have food, shelter, security if we have money. Thats why people really aimed high and work very hard in order to earn money. Even if we want simple life, yet money is still involve.

Personally, money is important to me in that I could not get very far without it, however I am not of the type to do anything for money, I'd rather go poor than do things which contradict my principles, etc.
I think unfortunately in the society we live in, people cannot help but rank money highly in their priorities, since there is very little for free these days!
