Money is like blood. You need it circulating to stay operational. There've been phases where I've had nothing, and others where I've had plenty. I'm not sure my happiness level was any different, but the sense of reassurance is very powerful when you have some tucked away.

Agreed. Money reassures every human individual that he/she has better chances of living compared to those who have less or who have none. We cannot deny the fact that while we are living, we are bound to money, and we cannot live without it.

Wrong money does not reassure everyone just us who have been raised to worship money there are plenty of happy people around the world who live self sufficient happy lives without the need of paper.

Again you have it wrong just because you have money does not give you better chances it reduces your chances because you become dependent on something that has been created to control you.

We have indeed been bound by money and that is what is destroying us.

As you've said, we are bound with money. Isn't that enough reason to say that we are indeed reassured with greater living conditions because of the simple fact that everything you see and the basic necessities of life require money to have?

For me, short-term = No way.
Long-term == Yes, since I will eventually be needing much more than I have now.

The place where you live matters. It's easier to live without money in rural India than in Beverly Hills.

It is but its not been my choice, if i had total control of society i wouldnt need money.  I think its better to view it as something you have no choice over rather then being a person who cares about money vs a person who doesnt care about money.

It wouldn't be, if you could live without it. Since you can't, it's very important. Unfortunately.

I dont understand this question... of course, as you need money for the life, it's of course one of the most important things in our all lifes.

Is it that "we have been raised to worship money" or that we've been raised in a society that requires money to function?

If 20 of us lived on a private island somewhere money would be meaningless. But you can't very far in London or Paris or Shanghai without it.

Your logic is akin to saying we worship roads because we're forced to drive on them. Just because we use roads every day to get to where we need to go doesn't mean that we worship them.

I believe the question is more fundamental. Its like; would you rather live a fulfilled life with your family, living from paycheck to paycheck,
or have a stressful life without a family of your own, but with a lot of financial freedom?
In the end it all comes down to whats your preference, i would personally always choose family love and health over money, but still we cant live without it, so its reasonable to sacrifice part of time working to ensure those who you love have what they need to live a normal life.

Is money one of the three most important things in your life?

Yes, definitely. I may not be an example, but I couldn't live the way I do without money.
Besides, as I have traveled many times in third world countries (India and Africa) where I've met some people without any money, I sure don't want to live like them.
Well, money are just a tool. In a perfect reality you would not need money at all. People are just greedy by nature and do not understand that how good would be live without money, that is reason why communism failed. There will always some big greedy bastards who will do anything to be more important.

For me it is important, because this economy teach us that without money you can live. So we will need every day much money, it basically this : we live for the money. It suppose to be the contrary, but this is not the case.

No, it is not one of my top three most important things in my life. Friends, family and loved ones and health are the most importand things for me. You can always (atleast where I live) come up with enough money to survive.

Yes. Money is what is used to get almost everything available in this world - food, roof, home, clothing, security. Without it life becomes much less livable.

Money is the means to which happiness can be more easily found.

I hate to say it, but here where I live in Western Europe you need to have money and health and family on a shared first spot.

I can gladly say that I'm happy and healthy plus I have a decent income. I can't ask for more  Smiley

Indeed, it's the world we live in. We are fucked without money, so our brains make our bodies be obsessed with money. This is why not being one of the lucky early BTC investors had such a dramatic trauma in a lot of people around here, including me. We can still hope that in 10 years we'll be rich by holding XX coins.

If i was to loose something else to get money, then it wouldn't be, but currently it sure does scale high on my list,
i would put #health first, #money second and #happiness on third place. It's funny tho, because it seams that #money is instantly bringing the other two along in most cases.

Yes, probably on the top 3, and I bet it is for most people here. Nowadays you can't go far if you don't have a few thousand bucks, unfortunately.

Is it #1 for most, not necessary, but to be in the top 3, of course, as you cant go thru life without money (fiat or bitcoin)
