Topic: Is money for survival or luxury? (Read 559 times)
I think money is for survival. It is possible to live without good cars, fancy wears. But we all need money to get shelter, to feed well to be alive. Money is for survival, money has been playing a big role in good health. Many lose life just because of the lack for money.
That's why inflation is a terrifying thing for aging people.
I guess someone like you will have alot of bitcoin and bitcoin is immune to inflation. It should be appreciating as times goes on. There is not much you should be worried about.
Money is for both survival and luxury. But survival comes first because one has to eat first before exhibiting themselves which is where luxury comes in. Survival makes up the three basic needs of man which includes food, shelter and clothing.
Money is to maintain our daily livelihood. We go to school and work for money, for life. This is not for luxury, but for our own quality of life. Who would not want to have a good life.
People's desires will not be satisfied. Originally, you may just want to buy a good bag, but when you buy a bag is a very common thing, you want to buy a sports car, and vanity can make it impossible to stop buying.
We'd better lower the expectation of money. Money is the most important necessity for survival and we'd better keep the expectation this way. Luxury is an illusion that people create for the large excessive use of money. In current global economic situation like today, earning money is not easy and we should always live within our means.
Everyone sees money in a different way. Most people don't earn much but their major concern in life is to spend money just to look good. Money is both for survival and luxury, every in individual sees the importance of money differently.
Growing up every little money I have is to use it to get expensive luxury, I don't really border if I eat good foods or not.
Money is survival for under privileged people as they have to earn it to fulfill their basic needs such as food but its a luxury for people who want a fancy and perfect lifestyle as putting food on their families table is not their main concern ( as they can easily afford it). So money is both survival and luxury. Growing up every little money I have is to use it to get expensive luxury, I don't really border if I eat good foods or not.

Money is defined based on how you as an individual treat it. It's luxury if you chose to work harder for your funds and spend them at your own comfort and a means for survival for those who wish to maintain old fashioned way of human existence. Money answers all things, It's like a ticket to defining how one leave their lives.
Money has become our daily need. Also always used when we need it. But when there is extra money, we always want luxury.
So in my opinion, money is indeed for survival, but because humans want more, then if there is more money they will buy something that they think will make them happy. Money is for survival, but it can also be for luxury.

In my country most people believe that you are rich when you have money to provide your basic needs and also afford some luxuries. To be classified as rich, you must own a mansion or different houses, drive expensive cars, go on vacation abroad, afford expensive schools for your children, wear designers cloths and consume expensive dishes. If one can only afford the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, education and moderate, such person is poor.
the classification of society will definitely continue to be traded and shown like the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is nothing but a capitalist system to make profits, because of the luxury they trade so that the orientation of the rich is to have luxury with expensive goods.But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich. Riches is not determine by how much you spend but how happy and fulfilled you are. The orientation that money is for luxury is the cause of the high rate of crime in my neighborhood. Most young chaps now want to ride a Mercedes, live in luxury estates or hotels and showcase his designers clothes and accessories. The virtue of contentment, moderation and patient is gradually becoming archaic and obsolete. But for me, money is for survival and if you can provide your basic needs, you are rich.

To a hungry man, money is surely for survival. No poor man thinks of saving or investment with an empty stomach,to him what really matter is to fill his stomach. There goes the saying 'an hungry man is an angry man'.
To a Rich or average man, money is for luxury due to the fact that is stomach is filled up already, he can now think of investment, buying of cars, building of houses, traveling and every other luxury included

I can agree with you on this because if you bring a poor man and rich man to say something about this , you will definitely get a different answer. To the poor man he believes money is for survival because that is what is important to him. A rich man that food is a common thing to him will not always take it serious. What the rich man thinks about is having the most costly house and driving the most expensive cars. It is the level of how one is financially buoyant that will tell what really money is for.
money gives power to everyone - to the poor and the rich

Nowadays especially with the pandemic and different
economic crisis due to the war, money tends to be more
on the survival side. If you live in a third world country,
money is a means of survival. But to rich countries and
well off individuals, money can provide a luxurious
life. I think it’s both to be honest, big part on the survival,
needs and essentials and the rest on affordable luxury.

It all goes down to the personality of the person having the money. While there are people who are super rich but they are always calm and does not delight in luxuries. But you can also see someone who is not that wealthy but is ready to lavish the one he has on luxury.
There are people who will see the list $100 in their pocket, they will automatically lose appetite for home made foods. Some believe they may die any time and so, they need to eat their money while they are alive.

Money is for surviving in luxury. 
Money is for both!
Definitely for luxury
You can say rich. if you are satisfied with what you have. if you are satisfied with what you have achieved. if you can thank the favors that exist.
Poor people are those who are always dissatisfied. they find no satisfaction. although they live in the palace, surrounded by servants who are ready to be ordered. food and luxury goods abound. but their hearts always feel lacking and do not find satisfaction in their lives.
and the basic characteristic of poor people is that they are always envious of what others have achieved. they don't like seeing other people happy. because he really wants to be happy. but he couldn't get it even though he already had everything. but happiness is simple. is to be grateful for what you have. enjoy there. and never be jealous of what other people have achieved. because behind the achievements that have been achieved by someone. then we don't know what path they have taken. and what hardships they have gone through.

Money is for farming. It's for the banks to farm you, their farm animals, and make a profit. Banking benefits for average people are ways that the banks advertise, so that you keep using their system, so that you keep getting milked by them. Ever heard of inflation? Bank money usage tax.
The Story of the Fed is the Story of a Crime
The Story of the Fed is the Story of a Crime
Quote from: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/09/george-f-smith/the-story-of-the-fed-is-the-story-of-a-crime/
But as he makes abundantly clear in his landmark book, The Creature From Jekyll Island, now in its fifth edition, the case against the Fed is overwhelming.
Creature, as Griffin explains, is four books in one: a crash-course in money and banking; a history of central banking in America; a discussion of the Fed itself and its role in American and world affairs; and finally, a detailed look at how the Fed and other central banks become "catalysts for war."
Without central banking, much of the carnage of the past 108 years would not have been possible.
In November 1910 seven men representing roughly one-fourth of the world's wealth took a clandestine train ride from New Jersey to a resort on Jekyll Island, Georgia, ostensibly to hunt ducks. But instead of shooting birds they drew up plans for a state-privileged cartel, which served as the blueprint for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
For years, most people left the Jekyll Island tale for the fringe that loves conspiracy theories. But gradually the story leaked out, beginning with an article by Bertie Charles Forbes, the future founder of Forbes Magazine, in Leslie's Weekly in 1916 (excerpted here). Following discussions with Paul Warburg, the Fed's chief architect and one of the Jekyll attendees, Forbes confirmed the trip in his opening paragraphs. Later writers, including some of those in attendance at Jekyll Island, corroborated Forbes' story. The secret trip of 1910, long considered the delusions of conspiracy theorists, was openly celebrated in 2010 by Bernanke & company.

Between money and lifestyle, money is not everything, but unfortunately everything seems to need money, money and luxury both have a strong correlation. money depends on the person who holds it, some are only able to meet their basic needs, some are very capable of buying the luxury one wants.
This can happen to anyone, you or me, and it's not limited to your country, everyone in the world needs money for everything according to their own standard of living. you can buy luxury according to the income you get and it will be very natural when someone has the ability to do so.
However, I have to agree with you, simplicity and patience are gradually becoming obsolete, moral values and simplicity are getting eroded with the progress of civilization.
Without money I would starve therefore its for survival
From what I'm seeing now money is for survivor and also for luxury because without money someone can die without proper treatment when there is infection or a dangerous disease that is being affected to the body of woman so the only thing that I can make it to be healed properly is with money that will give you a proper medication sometimes it is not money because when death come it is inevitable and nobody predict the death of anyone
If one can only afford the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, education and moderate, such person is poor.
But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich. Riches is not determine by how much you spend but how happy and fulfilled you are.
Saying that one living a moderate life style isn't rich won't be accurate. In fact, it's self satisfying to be able to provide your needs and satisfy most of your wants because, you obviously can't satisfy all of them. There would be always that something that you won't have and at times, not because you can't afford it but at what expense it might take you to get it.But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich. Riches is not determine by how much you spend but how happy and fulfilled you are.
Even as the world richest man. You can't have the liberty to own all you want. There is always going to be a limiting factor at some point which might be self imposed.
Being able to provide for yourself and family is ultimate and if your able to accommodate som excess in luxury, then its good but if not, your better off satisfying what your finance can give you. A stable life is all you need.
Being desperate for money will push you to do illegal things and that’s what have been affecting youths in my country, most of them want to leave expensive life and they are not ready to do legal work to get the money, all what am after is to be able to provide daily necessities for myself am satisfied, some people will scam people just because they want to leave luxury life which is wrong we should be contented with what we are having.
Depends on your basic needs 
Money is the most crucial aspect of our life; without it, you will just be concerned with surviving. After you have survived and someone else has more money than you, you start to consider living a luxury life. Therefore, for the time being, both depend on money because they cannot happen without it. Money, in my opinion, is just necessary for survival because not all wealthy people prefer a life of luxury.
Those who have the money will try and get whatever they want and those who do not have will keep working for survive till they get and solve there own problem. What ever we feel like doing, we can do it since we have the money. The rich has no problem getting luxuries of there choice because they have what it take to get what they want and we should not be surprised because money is the answer to our problem.
Well, Money is firstly, for ease of trade.
Secondly, money aids survival.
Thirdly, money affords luxury. Although that's you affording the luxury.
However, money is in different means, might be tangible or intangible but have same effect. Could be in form of asset, return of goodwill, etc.

The first thing money is meant for is for survival because no one will have money and consider luxurious things first. Luxurious life style comes in when their is excessive money to waste but when their is no much money one plan how to survive with little money he has.
Is money for survival or luxury?
Money is for two things:
1. So that the people have the convenience of easier trade than bartering would allow;
2. So that the banks and the government can leach off the people more easily.

I'm 24 years old and my goal is certainly not to drive a Mercedes or wear designer clothes, I'm trying not to revolve myself around money. From my point of view, being rich doesn't necessarily have to involve expensive cars, houses or clothes, but having the ability to live comfortably, earning enough to survive but also to enjoy a few luxuries every now and then, such as travelling once or twice a year and to have the ability to put money aside.

Money is meant for survival while in surviving through, you have the benefits of luxury life inclusive, there's no how we can have money a d not survive the hardship in the economy and that's why there's no any luxury life without the role of money at play, i believe we all need money for survival and accomplishment of tasks ahead, projects and ambition, lay pursuit on our desired dreams and live a lively life which all requires the role of money to enjoy them, but money should be earned and worked for and not to acquire it forcefully in other for it to last long.
It is not for survival nor for luxury. Money is an exchange tool to facilitate transactions between individuals who provide different goods and services.
According to the historical narrative, money did not carry all the importance that it has in the current financial system before the emergence of trade as an independent sector (trade is not a productive sector). Then it developed into money in itself as a commodity to be bought and sold, as we see today in the money markets.
In general, it is not possible for a person to eliminate himself from reality, so we cannot eliminate money as a means of survival, but it is originally not so, because a person will not die if he is able to achieve self-sufficiency from his basic needs.

Real wealth is when you are healthy. If you are healthy, you can work to fills your daily needs and enjoy the results, whatever they may be.
Is that still rich if you have a lot of money but have to go to many doctors? Not.
And I agree that money is for survival. And it is normal if we want to enjoy what the world offers us because we can buy what we want. After all, we have money to buy that.

Being rich doesn't necessarily has to be about having money. A knowledgeable person can trade his for money. And this money is basically for survival all other luxuries are mere necessities that you look into when you have extra of this money. People that consider excess luxurious life thinks its part of survival too

Being rich is subjective to the person's perspective and belief. You may be poor in others' eyes yet you're rich within your soul. Rich in material possessions yet you've got a very poor way of living. So, that's a very subjective thought about being rich and there's even a difference between being rich and wealthy. It's a mindset that will make you look into things whether you treat yourself rich or not. You survive everyday for a living and for the less fortunate, they're already rich by having that. But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich. Riches is not determine by how much you spend but how happy and fulfilled you are.

Everyone has their own point of view, but money is primarily for survival. Once someone has enough money to aid and satisfy his daily needs, he is successful because he did not lack anything as a result of a lack of money. Money can buy you whatever you want, including luxurious items as well as daily necessities, so money can be used for both survival and the purchase of luxury items.

Actually, this depends a lot on your upbringing as well as the people and society you live with. For Instance, a person who is born and brought up in a very poor family struggling to even have basic necessities will consider himself reach even if he gets those basic necessities but a person who is having these basic necessities from childhood thinks of richness as having these status symbols and basically when you get these status symbols as well then you are pretty much settled and no more consider these things as riches. So it's all the matter of your upbringing and the environment in which you were brought up. But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich.

it depends where you look at it.. if you are a person with low income and live in the city,, then you use money for survival.. but if you are a successful businessman and have business everywhere,, then money is a luxury for you
Money is actually a medium that can satisfy you needs, the needs varies from one to another so the money needed also can be different. If you have money then you can live better life or you will have the basic and struggling life even it can be uncertain for the whole life. I would like to say the more money you can earn then you will have lesser to worry about your future so its for security but don't forget how to keep the money for long term which is different called investment.
It depends on your expectations. A child who grew up in poverty will have different standards than a child who had rich parents.
I'll give you an example. My aunt lived in socialism in the 50s and she had no running water. Every day they'd have to go to the well, bring water, boil it on a coal stove in a giant pot and that was their water for bathing, laundry and washing dishes. There was almost no cars, people were riding bicycles or horse carriages. You were lucky if you had a motorcycle.
As an adult she worked hard as a teacher and was able to afford a normal house with 2 bathrooms, running water, central heating, a garden. This was luxury for her as she had a washing machine, an electric oven, even her own car. That's all she wanted as a child and all her mother wanted but could never afford.
I have even more than that. A computer, a mobile phone, fast Internet, a big, flat TV... I don't feel like I need my own jet, a Lambo. An expensive car is just another thing to worry about. I also don't need a bigger house. Cleaning this one already takes a full day if you want to be thorough. I don't want to be a slave of my own dreams.

Of course, money is for survival because you can live without any luxury just to have enough in your pocket to fill your stomach is a great blessing. As for luxury, it is optional and only people that already secured their essential needs will purchase it. We have our own personal needs and desires at the same time and each one of us has different tastes but most people looking for money is trying to survive to put some food on the table. I rarely heard someone stole for luxury but in most cases, we hear he stole because he needs to survive.
money is for survival and if you can provide your basic needs, you are rich.
Money is for both survival and luxury, but first for survival before luxury. Before using money for luxury, It is expected that the person has already satisfied the basic needs they have, But if someone chooses to use their money for luxury when they are still trying to survive and cannot afford it, they are already preparing for hardship which will lead to depression and make someone begin to hatch criminal thoughts.
Money is for survival,to survive in this world,man needs to have money bacause with money all things are possible,and without money all things are impossible.But the pressure that comes with money, is what makes people commit blunders,make mistakes that they ever live to regret,and when there is excessive money,it's also another problem because the pride that comes with too much money,it takes the grace of God to be able to remain cool when a man is rich,instead of him to use the money wisely,he will choose to spend it extravagantly on things that dont really makes sense.Thats human being for you.

I think and I believe that there is a wide difference between riches and money and refer to both of them is not right. Riches has also notting to do with happiness but been rich can afford you things that create happiness in you. Money on it own is just a means of exchange and also doing things that made you afford much of it can create riches. But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich.

The virtue of contentment, moderation and patient is gradually becoming archaic and obsolete. But for me, money is for survival and if you can provide your basic needs, you are rich.
Money is for spending, I would say. Seriously, you don't earn money just to horde it. Not only does that make it useless, it actually lose value if used that way.
I wouldn't consider being able to simply fulfill your basic needs as being rich, you're simply getting by. Sure you are not poor (which meant lacking in certain needs) but you're not rich either.
The problem is not the luxuries per se but if you put all your efforts for chasing after luxuries. You can only get so much joy from something before it get stale and then you'd have to move on to the next thing.

Do you as well know that money attract more evil to you in a sense that in your province most especially insecure countries, it can be calls for adoption and robbery. Arm of money is for establishment and i believe if one strongly invested his or her money wisely then you are set to be rich. basically it's not to influence others or showcase how rich they are.
There are deep down Billionaires whom you don't know but are secretly living, though who are under competition doesn't know the value of money and i believe they are fraudsters most living expensive life to influence others making being impatient in life.
Lastly if you can raise breakfast, lunch, dinner for your family also able to pay any bills that comes across your way then consider yourself being a Rich man because you are not poor. Poor man is someone who can't even afford to pay any of his bill nor complete square meal.

Money is a medium for economic exchange. It's concept has nothing to do with how and on what it is being spent, so money is neither for survival nor is it for luxury, especially as those terms are not universally defined. Money is just an economic concept for exchanging goods, nothing more.

But for me, if you can afford your basic need, you are rich. Riches is not determine by how much you spend but how happy and fulfilled you are.
We will always have a different perspective about things because what determines our understanding of things is the things we have experienced in the past, the people we associate with, and our own personal desire.But mainly money is used for buying/paying for things and it could be house, travel, pay for tuition, etc. However, being rich is being able to finance yourself and your family's needs without debt. This means money is for both survival and luxury. It depends on what you spend it on.
Meanwhile, being could also be categorized into many areas.
What has happened nowadays is that people have become so ambitious that they don't even care about lying, stealing and killing other people, all they want is to be able to also go on social media and post that they are in dubai. It is sad, very sad, what we are currently witnessing, in my country, for example, young people want expensive brand things, they want expensive drinks and the most deplorable thing is that they steal, prostitute themselves in order to have these things. the person just sleeps and wakes up and suddenly he will only see your neighbor showing up with a luxury car, luxury suits even throw a big party with dozens of guests, they stay making noise until dawn, the crime of kidnapping has increased a lot in my country, because young people don't have a job and they want expensive things. I believe that having love and basic conditions to live is enough
I guess I'm on team survival. Personally, I think of money more like security. I want to know that I won't have to eat cat food when I'm older and I think the best way to ensure that doesn't happen is to have a lot of money. That's why inflation is a terrifying thing for aging people. It requires people to become owners of companies and thus have to become financial experts in order to ever have the opportunity to retire comfortably.
It would be nice to think of money as a tool for luxuries though. Maybe I just don't have enough.

In my country most people believe that you are rich when you have money to provide your basic needs and also afford some luxuries. To be classified as rich, you must own a mansion or different houses, drive expensive cars, go on vacation abroad, afford expensive schools for your children, wear designers cloths and consume expensive dishes. If one can only afford the basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, education and moderate, such person is poor.

Remember that there is difference between poor and hungry. Poor means, you have money but it is not enough to feed yourself and the immediate family, but hungry means you don't have money to eat at all. That is there is no money to feed yourself and the immediate family. So someone that has money is also a poor person if you are not eating to satisfy yourself. Who is a poor man and who is a rich man is unknown base on disease diplomacy ideology. A country's president is classified as the category of a rich man but disease still kills such magnitude of wealth. In my own understanding or in my field of study, wealth is not measure by the things you acquired in life but by the lives you touch (helped). How many people have you raise up to become somebody in the society. Luxuries lifestyle is also part of the characteristics of wealth or rich because when someone has gotten money the next thing is to spend them. In the process of survival which the necessary part of money or rich, you also luxuriously enjoy yourself but do not forget to help the needy.

I fancy good life and I think that's the essence of working hard to make more money so that one can have an investment that will multiply your money in time to come so I see no wrongs if people work and make good money and buy whatever cars or luxury life they want to live. I don't like the word contentment because it will make you think you have gotten to your final destination when you have nothing to show for it.
Money is used for survival when you have little or nothing but it is used for luxury when you have above the required amount for an average man which is for food, clothing, and shelter. So do not consider yourself as a rich person when you only have what to eat because your investment determines your level of wealth or financial capacity.
I think money is for the both, to eat good good to survive. After affording food if their is enough money one will think of getting things thats makes him to be happy and live comfortable. It impossible to be rich and only spend money on food. Sometimes you can even spend money on things that people will see as not important.
