Because that 9 out of 10 people are working people. If not, a businessmen.

No, we're not addicted to the idea of it but we actually need it in our daily survival and living.

We all want money so that we can buy all of the necessities that we need. It's part of our daily living unless you're living in a huge farm where you can get everything and has a clean river or lake for your water.

Money is necessity,  the basic thing that people needs in life and can't do without. This days  it just seems as if all what one needs to do in the everyday life money must be involved. I don't really blame people for getting addicted to money, the truth is that we really need to get this money in our pocket to meet up with things. Before now people were living okay and not bothering so much about money but the inflation in the market has cost everything to be difficult for people which people have no choice to do anything just to double their income.

Focusing on money is very important and which should not be taking for granted because if people don't think on how money can be raised, life will be be extreme difficult.

Precisely. People get addicted of what money can do, its effects to people’s lives and significance. When there’s a lot of money, the joy and satisfaction are unlimited, that’s why people love the idea of having a lot of money. But when we say people has this money addiction, it denotes a different view. Money is what we need the most this time since everything got their price, and if you got no money, it’s rare to see you surviving in this getting expensive world’s stuffs.

Addicted or not, people would really be having that normal approach on things on which they would really be having that kind of intent in terms of earning money on which this is really that part of main consideration since we do know that when it comes to condition that we do have in life. The more money you do have the more better life you do have on which it is really that a normal thing that people will really be focusing on trying out to earn as much as possible. I dont see for this one to be an addiction. The only moment that i would really be seeing to be an addiction is on the moment that you would be
doing unethical things or really that be trying out to take advantage of other people for the sake of making or earning money. As long you are really that earning on a legal and clean way then i dont see a problem with this.

It would really be just that normal that human beings would really be thriving out their very best on searching for earning money which it is really the main thing that you would be needing on surviving up on this world because everything comes with a price. If you dont have the money then surviving would really be an issue. So it would really be just that a matter of choice whether you would be contented
with the current earning you do have or you would be adding up even more or looking for other ways?

They shouldn’t be money addiction, because as long as you need to survive, earn money as much as you can, it is substantial in our life, because there is nothing an individual want and succeed in getting it, unless they involve money, making more money is not an issue because a lot of people have many responsibilities to take care of, you need money to provide shelter, foods, fees and clothes. And small amount of it is not enough to fulfill these responsibilities. Money brings a lot of respect to someone reputation, some people know that their wish of becoming a billionaire can never be fulfilled, but they keep struggling to make sure that they always get the chance to put food on their table if you don’t have money you will never be able to pursue your dreams. It is a want that everyone need.

Everything is affordable to you when you have money, we can’t survive in our economy without money.

It is only billionaire that are addicted in making money because they always wish that they should keep earning and never lost, and it affect some of them mentally, physically and spiritually.
Making money is not an issue as long as you can meet your goals or life desire, it is not money addiction.

We aren't really "addicted" to money, we just addicted to idea of money, not the money itself. A lot of people just want money to be able to do stuff, even if they do not do it, they want to be able to say that they are capable of it if they want to.

Like if you have 700 million dollars, then there are VERY few things in the world that you can't do, you can do almost anything you want, and that's why I believe that people do not really love the money itself, that's just a number. They just like to be able to have more than the other person and they like to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, at least have that option. Money is made up, money itself means nothing, money is fake, it's the things you can do with money that we get addicted to.

If you have money, many people would consider you as an important person. There's a saying that money is the root of all evil and I disagree with that because having money will make you happier than being poor in this life, and money will save you from some embarrassment. It's not money addiction, it is just that in our generation, making money has become our top priority since no one wants to be in debt, we need money to solve our problems, even in our houses, we need money to survive. I'm not sure if you've ever been in a situation where you needed money as an emergency and had no one to turn to. These days, you must stand on your own and earn this money since you will not know those who love you unless you have a problem that money can solve.

No matter what the situation is, we do not need to steal from someone to survive, and we don't have to take someone else joy to make ourselves happy. However, many people do not care about what they have to do before making money, all they need is to make money. Many people have gotten themselves into bad situations because they want to be like others. Making money is to find a stable source of income that will earn you good money to meet your needs, not becoming wealthy by taking what belongs to others.

Even though human wants can never be satisfied but the inquisitiveness of making more money became more obvious in recent years because in the past majority of people were contented with what they were making as their income and were not much interested in making extra money from other works but now some people can even manage 4 to 5 jobs a day just to increase their earnings and sometimes it is just as a result of greed, while in most cases it is as a result of the economy because the cost of living is high and if you don't chase after numerous works to earn a living you will look frustrated if peradventure the only one you depended on crashes and the urge to make more money each day have also made us become more stronger than we were before.

That is exaggerating term to use that 9 out of 10 are addicted in making money?yeah everyone are making their way to make money but this is not about addiction instead about being obligated so try not to fell from this mistake and try to be more cautious about the word you use ,there might be people that addicted to make money but they are small part of the humanities.

I also think it is not addiction, but it would depend on how they would earn their money.
For me addiction is when they are bound to destroy their life, so if they are earning the right way or without illegal activities then it wouldn't be addiction, they are striving for a better life.
Honestly, if I could I would rather stay at remote areas to have simple life than to overwork myself.

There is definitely a need for money in life, but some earn it the right way and some earn it the wrong way. The subject you mentioned is the goal of man because if a man is in a low position then it is his goal to go to a higher position. For example, in the field of employment, if someone joins as a general worker, his next goal is to become a manager one day.
Do you know what is the biggest addiction in a person's life, it is the addiction of money. People all over the world are now just running and running because of money addiction. The addiction of money has consumed people in such a way that people are now unable to judge between good and bad. Now the competition has started among people all over the world who will be richer or who will have more money.

No one is happy in their position, you consider nine out of ten people who try to grow their money but I would say 10 out of ten people want to grow their money. You have a good job and you want to work in an organization like the one where you are working but it is natural that a person who is unemployed wants to work in an organization like yours. No matter how good a position we are in, we always look to what is above us and we try to get to his position. We will be content when we follow those who are in our lowest position. Today I have a car I will be thinking about buying a sports car at Target next and when I own the sports car I will be thinking about buying a private jet with a luxury car. But if we try to increase money by working extra hard in honest way then it is not bad for us because money is needed a lot in the way of life.

How do you know this? Since it is related to the fact, you need to have a research before claiming it. Or you can get a reference from a reliable source. At least, you have data that can prove it.

I think it depends on where we live. If it is in the big city, surely people will have high chance to be addicted to money because everything needs money in the city. But in the village, people don't fully depend on the money, they can use natural resources to survive. Since villagers have an alternative, they don't fully depend on the money.

Inflation, pandemic, wars, and the expensive price of fuel are some factors that trigger the increases of commodity prices. It is unavoidable situation, everyone is forced to deal with the worse economic. Since there is no choice but to have more money, nowadays it becomes easier to be addicted to money. This makes people to do everything in order to have more earnings. In this modern life, most of our activities are involved with money. So, it results in the mindset of among people to associate everything with money. I agree that this situation leads to a more addiction among people.

I was enjoying your reading until you spoiled it with this remark as shown above. What statistics gave you that effrontery to state that 90% of people have the tendency to loot? That is preposterous and it should be withdrawn because it is offensive and insults the collective integrity of humanity. Frankly, I don't like people running their months anyhow, especially on what they know little or nothing about. If at all, to back your claims, you should have attached a link for us to read better instead of insulting humanity this way.

Fine, your country may be very bad, and I think I know the country you are from, but I will not mention it because I know how you guys type. Nevertheless, you can't use the state of your country to judge other countries. As you call a 90% looting tendency, do you know there are many countries in Europe and the world generally that their looting tendency will be below 1%? That is so justified because you can read many resourceful articles online about some countries with a very low crime rate, and that have good living standards. They are happy.

See, what makes some people commit financial crimes and be desperate to loot is the state of their finances and the poor nature of their country. But in many countries, people are doing fine, and those who are not doing fine are still contented, so why the high looting rate you force upon everyone?

 Money rules the world and as such people will do anything to get it, either to at least lead comfortable lives or to have a lot of it, that's why you'd see people slaving away at their jobs just to achieve this.
Now there's those who aren't content with the little they have which is normal because human needs and wants are insatiable hence the feeling of addiction to money right?
The fact that we live in a world where things are ever increasing doesn't also help matters as we constantly justify our need for more money as a means to be able to cope with the ever increasing demands but deep down, it's somehow to assure ourselves that we are better than the next person.

I think people are not addicted but they didn't have a choice because they need to find more money in order to survive, look at how the price of basic needs rise, high inflation, etc., almost everything are rising and it needs more money to survive that is why people are finding more money i think it is not an addiction it is thier way of handling the high inflation and basic needs price that rise every year that is why people are now hard working to get more money because if we don't work hard will surely suffer financial problem.

People try to earn more money because more provides a sense of security & stability which allows people to meet their basic needs & alleviate financial stress. Earning money is equated with success & social status leading people to strive for wealth as a measure of personal achievement. Obviously money offers opportunities for experiences, material possessions & simply more options in life. It’s important to strike a balance & prioritise other aspects of life beyond financial gain such as relationships, health & personal fulfilment.

Its only a greedy and stingy person that will be regarded as one who is addicted to money because everyone by default is expected to have interest in having money to spend and use for basic needs of life, we should know this and also expect that there are ways in which we can spend money without making it appear as if we are being addicted to it, especially when we engaged the use for the right and appropriate reasons.

The development of the times makes us have to be faced with money, because everything nowadays requires money, everyone will look for it for their own or family needs, we should not judge other people, because we have no right to it, while they work and waste the money is up to him, because it is the result of his hard work.

Currently we are thinking about how to ensure that our finances are sufficient to meet the needs of the family, of course the children we produce will be how we raise them with good finances, because with good parents' finances it will have a good impact on the children, of course at this time we have to work hard to meet our family's financial needs.

All because these needs and needs usually have many characters, some are important not urgent and also urgent important that must be synchronized or normal and ordinary. Usually, the urgent important thing will always be the top priority.

Regarding the opportunity to get additional money, if it is related to current conditions, it is recognized that it is a bit heavy at this time where the opportunity is small and the competition is also high, but if the work model is ordinary without requiring special skills, there are many, it's just that the payment value is small compared to the special ones where we have to meet daily needs now, the dominance has gone up in price, especially if our lifestyle always follows the trend and does not want to be outdone with our friends/community.

To do bad actions like the model you mentioned above can also happen, but I think there are still many clear-minded people looking for more models.
