Your financial situation is no doubt important in this present society. And it’s no good to be selective on what the bible talks about concerning money. The bible also warns about the love of money being the genesis of almost every evil involving man out there.
Money is certainly important especially in our highly inflated society but if you let money and your love for it direct your life, you will probably never be truly happy in your life as the money already owned would never be enough.

In this present age and time the most important thing is to be stable in finance...even the Bible says according to the christians that money answerth all things..come to think of it is there anything you can successfully carry out without the involvement of finance ? Absolutely nothing! So have come to a conclusion that one need to double up your hustle aside the normal government or private work ...add a trade ...learn hand work or something that will make you to be stable in your finances.
You don't need a lot of employment or to work in both private and public institutions to be financially stable. Too much work at once can have a negative impact on your health, thus it is best to prioritise your health before looking for a way to be financially stable. I'm not saying you shouldn't look for additional sources of money, but it shouldn't come at the expense of the fantastic health you have without spending a dime on it to have it in your life.
This Bible quote is found in Ecclesiastes 10:19. A few verses before and after:
Ecclesiastes is all about the uselessness of life. People die, and all their hopes and dreams are gone... at least for them, even if their children get some benefit.
After a few years, a dead person is forgotten. The name might be remembered for a while. There might be pictures. But in a generation or two after he dies, the kind of person that a person is in life will be forgotten.
In America, many people have heard of Thomas Jefferson. Many people have seen pictures (paintings) of him. But if we didn't have some of his writings and books, we wouldn't have a clue what he really was like. And even the writings and books aren't as clear as we would have if he were alive and present.
The point is, verse 19 is a tongue-in-cheek saying. It means almost the opposite of what it says, because people in life find out that money isn't the answer for everything.

Quote from: https://biblehub.com/niv/ecclesiastes/10.htm
18Through laziness, the rafters sag;
because of idle hands, the house leaks.
19A feast is made for laughter,
wine makes life merry,
and money is the answer for everything.
20Do not revile the king even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.

In this present age and time, the most important thing is to be stable in finance.
After God and your health, the most important thing to be concerned and intentional about should be to work on your financial stability, It will save you from a whole bunch of problems. When you become a bit financially stable, you will discover that you've solved a reasonable amount of your problems and that all the major problems you attributed to external factors like relationships family sentiment lack of friends, not being noticed in public, and whatever minor thing you've taken as your problem has been solved.As some comedians will say, if you don't have money, whatever you saying isn't correct.
In this present age and time the most important thing is to be stable in finance...even the Bible says according to the christians that money answerth all things..
Are you sure that you are a Christian, because I have not come across the chapter and verse in the bible that says money answereth all things. That is a worldly say and not of God. So what you are trying to say that with money everything is possible, a big NO. It is only God that can do everything and not fiat that is made by man. Can money raise the dead or give you internal peace and happiness. Pls don't misquote the word of God especially when it comes to money. It is good to have money so that you can get whatever investment and business that you want to venture into and use exotics cars but let it be gotten in a right way. This is when you will be very happy and peaceful with your wealth.
You don't need to look for money to start up any business, you can easily learn a skill and look for a second means of income for yourself do that you can have enough for yourself and if possible also invest into bitcoin.
learn hand work or something that will make you to be stable in your finances.
Like wood crafts or any other skills? Well, generally, it's true that one has to learn new skills for him to get some other source of income and upgrade what he knows to do. In this modern time, one can learn easily through the internet although it's not going to be the typical hand work that you may think but it's all about another skill that relates likely to technology or the same stuff that you're working on.
Absolutely nothing! So have come to a conclusion that one need to double up your hustle aside the normal government or private work ...add a trade ...learn hand work or something that will make you to be stable in your finances.
You can double up your work and take up more jobs, learn a new skill, add a new trade and it will still not lead to financial stability. There are some things that some financially stable people have done for themselves that helps them to remain financially stable. Some of theses things from what I have noticed are; Financially stable people are very well informed, they surround themselves with people like them who are focused on financial stability, they are very good with planning, and they always have the mind of investing for the future. Then the point is clear that financially stable people don't rely on just one single income and they make sure that they are involved in lucrative business and not just any business. Most of the highly paying businesses are owned by them because they invest hugely not minding the risk involved. They are risk takers who never procrastinate on investment that they have investigated to be genuine and lucrative. The future is always important to be financially stable not to only focuse on today or the short time.

The Bible said some other things about money; it said the same money is the root of all evil. Normally, yeah, on this planet, money is what humans cannot do without. Some people have died due to some health issues and their inability to raise money for their treatment; some parents who had the zeal to train their children in higher institutions dropped that dream because they had little money that wasn't enough to fund their children's future careers; some people have a lot of business strategies running through their minds but there is no money to extinguish their plans. So, yeah, everyone needs to be financially stable, but in a society, everyone can never be equal because we don't have the same ability or the same sense of reasoning. Some people might choose to eat just a square meal today that they may eat in abundance tomorrow, but some will eat all they have today with the hope that they can take credit tomorrow or that they have hope in someone.

We don’t need to go dip into the bible to know how important money is in our lives. Everyone needs to strive for it by doing some work and get paid for it. Without money, your life will be meaningless and won’t be valued among people that have money. Having multiple source of income is the best and with that you can attain financial stability quicker. Too much money should not be referred to as financial stability, but rather having the contentment of yourself with the little you’ve been provided with is financial stability.
Even the Bible have the role of Money in this world, and that is why the Bible recorded such statements as to money answering all things, and for such the Bible makes provision of how we can approach money and make it work as a tool to propel the true and right curse of humanity, with regards to how to acquire and use money.
So the Bible make provision such as too much love for money being the root of all evil and also making stands on how to gain and use money as an asset, so money is most important after God and we need to know that money rule the world as long as we may be concerns.

I think you are getting it all wrong. First your thread should belong to economic discurssion not politics. Secondly I think you are contradicting your statement with the Bible. If you bring up Bible in this context I think that same Bible also said that the love of money is the roots of all evil. Being financially stable does not relate to the Bible portion you just narratedcome to think of it is there anything you can successfully carry out without the involvement of finance ? Absolutely nothing! So have come to a conclusion that one need to double up your hustle aside the normal government or private work ...add a trade ...learn hand work or something that will make you to be stable in your finances.
Of a truth financial freedom is what everyone is hoping for, but depending on government will give you false hope. And unfufilled dream. I think most successful people were not dependent on government only few are civil servant like %30 while the rest are%70 that is to show you that majority of people are self employed or self dependant.
Money is good but it is the love of it that is condemned because love is strong and can make you take irrational decision, therefore if you love money that means you will do everything to have it.
But no doubt that money helps to make things which are suppose to be naturally difficult to be easy from family, to relationship, to helping others like the needy. Even in service to God, you need alot of money, evangelism need money and every other thing we can think of has element of money except we choose to play down on it. But we have to be careful not to allow money determine what we do or what decision we take.

That's the reality that everyone needs money while a very few people that are beating that fact and living on their own, still I've seen them grow their own food but they still need money for their other resources like energy so they buy which means again, the money is there needed for them to live comfortably.So have come to a conclusion that one need to double up your hustle aside the normal government or private work ...add a trade ...learn hand work or something that will make you to be stable in your finances.
Just mix it up with other source of income that you can do and you'll live well on this time. However, others are too hard working and still what they earn aren't enough to make a living and that's why they're struggling. And with the mentioning of Bible. Do not forget about that when you start to get focused more with money, it's possible that you will love it. I don't know how to distinguish that when in fact we need money but you shouldn't love it.Maybe, that's all about being greedy and as we earn from our sources of income. We shouldn't be greedy but if it's not enough and we are not content. Don't love the money because if you do, that's what the bible says about it being the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10.
What are you talking about?
As far as I know the New testament which is the story of Jesus Christ himself actually tried to teach in many of his sermons that money is not supposed to be the answer to everything and it should not be adored, because it only makes people to stay away from God.
I actually recall one part of the Bible which told the story of a rich man who asked to Jesus what he was supposed to do to enter the Kingdom, and Jesus told him he was supposed to give away his fortune and follow him, which made the rich man to feel sad, since he liked his money.
