I agree with what you said, we all have to work hard to meet all our needs, especially as heads of families, we have to meet all the needs of our children and wives, because it is our job to earn a living for our family, especially nowadays. everything is expensive, basic necessities are expensive, everything is expensive, we as the backbone of the family have to think of a way out so that we can fulfill all our household needs, don't be lazy by relying on our salary which is not enough, we have to think about how we can earn extra money In order to be able to provide for all of this, the method must be halal because it will affect the future of our own children.

When the price of goods and services increases, of course everyone has to do more work than usual and if they are employees and the income they have is no longer enough to meet their needs, of course they have to look for additional income to be able to meet the needs they need, because if It is of course impossible to only rely on their salary to fulfill their needs because the prices of goods and services have increased.

Working hard is very important if we want all the needs we need to be met and those who are lazy to work will of course have difficulty meeting their needs, it is important for us to be able to have income not from illegal means if we don't want the life we live to have problems later on.

Those who choose cheating methods to make their money will of course one day have problems and they will have to be responsible for what they do and it is really not important for us to pretend to be rich and this does not have any benefits from it, for now of course everyone needs money and I agree with you, don't let money control us, of course we will do various things to make money and this will get us into trouble.

here I think there's no such thing as addicted to money, i think we already have the term for this which is workaholic where people just can't stop working because they always want to work.
but if my addiction is related to always having the urge to make money and keep making more and more, heck I think thats the best addiction there is because lets be frank here, society forces us to always makes money for ourselves.
the people that aren't productive are actually being valued low in the society, so this money addiction is kind of a big win honestly.

since honestly, there's nothing wrong with hoarding as much purchasing power as you can, with hoarding money it means you got more power since money can be used to buy literally anything these days.
so whats wrong with it, there's really nothing wrong.
there's reason why the billionaires keep making more and more company to boost their personal wealth, because making money is great and there's no downsides to it.

this is the truth, the fact that we keeps striving for better financial condition is the instinct to survive, where you can get basic needs from spending money, it means entire survivability depends on it.
that what most people should understand, the fact that some people are addicted to make money, means they just want to keep their survivability high.

     There are many people at this age who have become like money or have been swallowed up by the money system. Those who pretend to have a lot of money so they can convince other people that they will cheat just so they can have money. 

     Pretending to be rich but not really—that's what happens when the wrong way of looking at money is used. Yes, we need money, and it is a part of our lives in this age, but we don't need to let money control us; instead, we should control money.

Addiction is defined as something you do out of compulsion with no real benefit for you, hoarding money and earning it is not considered addiction cause at the end of the day, you need money, and a whole lot of it as a matter of fact, to sustain yourself and whoever depends upon you.

You already said it yourself, prices of shit keep rising and changing and we can't do anything about it. Will you call someone addicted to water cause they are very thirsty and are looking for the nearest water fountain to hydrate themselves?

You have a very skewed perspective on how things work and clearly you're still getting support from your people, which isn't necessarily bad, cause after all they fucked and made you without your permission in the first place, but you'll soon realize how wrong it is to think that everyone's "addicted to money" all because we need more of it to stay alive.

It would be a good thing if people stopped being lazy and worked hard to make money because it would not only bring people a more prosperous life but also stimulate the economy to grow stronger. But there will also be disadvantages if people are truly addicted to money if it exists. Ignoring the factor of making illegal money, addiction to making money will sometimes create a more and more pragmatic society, I mean people will only know how to make money and make money and ignore other things like love, family, friends...like what's going on. As life becomes more and more hustle and bustle and money is put first, everyone only knows how to rush to make money and ignore the things around them, making society more and more pragmatic. Balancing everything is what we should do instead of being addicted to something and ignoring the rest.

If prices of goods and services have been continuously rising so fast, then most likely in order to make ends meet, people will also strive harder to earn more money not only to live a comfortable life but mainly, for survival. So I think that’s never an addiction, but a normal human reaction in order to live and enjoy life the way they want it to be.

However, on the other hand I would also love seeing people getting into  money addiction if it really exists so that everyone will work hard and strive hard, and that laziness will not be practiced anymore which made the people missed opportunities to earn money. And as long as making more money is not done through illegal means, then I’m really fine with it.

People who are looking to earn more money only because they aren't able to meet their basic requirements can't be called addicted to wanting more money because it's what they need to survive. If you are unable to make ends meet, you will have to find a different way to survive because you can't starve to death or make your family suffer. So, I don't think this can be considered a hunger for more money but it is one of the basic requirements for any human.

Addicted are those who have enough money but are still looking to make more money, look at the whales or those who have millions of dollars but are still looking to start new businesses and make more investments only to increase their wealth, they are the ones you can call addicted to money.

addicted to money???
I think it's normal for people to actively earn money to meet their living needs and lifestyle, as long as they are willing to work and try, it doesn't matter, not by being lazy but wanting to live the same as that person is someone who can be said to be unreasonable and lazy.
Basically, money is everything for all sectors of life, so it is natural that everyone is active in seeking money for the prosperity of themselves and their families.

Belief in terms of what? Religious? Or belief because of self-entitlement? But whatever belief was it, it is still wrong to have that kind of mindset you're telling. We must accept that not all things will fall into us. There are things in life that are better treated as a lifestyle because lifestyle can mean that we are still balancing things.

There are also things that does not necessarily need an approval from others. Religion is part of the human life but there are people who forgot to include it on their lifestyle. I think is one of the reasons on why they are miserable but it's not too late yet. They still can go back on worshiping their own gods again.

I think it's a trait that almost everyone has. Wanting lots of money and wanting to continue earning it, even the richest people in the world do this. I think most people will try to make money until they achieve financial freedom. It's no secret that we want luxury items, and that all costs money. So, we need to make a lot of money so that we can let go of our desires about what we want.

Yes, that's right, bro, excessive actions are not good, because anything that is done excessively will produce bad results, for example, excessive nights out and taking excessive drugs will also harm ourselves, because if we are addicted to excessive money, it will make us miserable, because there is nothing about money, all actions must be related to money, this is all the beginning of our own harm, look for enough money according to our needs, don't let everything about our social life disappear because we are addicted to money, money will also make us we will be in trouble, a lot of money will also make us uncomfortable with our condition, the most important thing is our health is the most important thing, it's useless to have a lot of money but if we are sick, over time the money will run out because we can no longer make money because our bodies are weak pain.

A fact. From a better point of view, many people are just aware of how high the market price of marketable goods have increased and being addicted to "make money" became their coping mechanism. Many people by now are even having two to four jobs at the same time. Well, if it works for you then that's good but you should also be checking your health on a daily basis 'coz it might be taxed with that drive, if you're one of these people.

Many people are also becoming innovative and embracing the risk of starting up business and investment plans, to again generate a bigger source of income. Addiction on earning more money might sound good to some people but limitations should be always considered. Keep in mind that anything which is too much is bad. Addiction in any form should be conditioned or regulated by the one who's becoming problematic.

Money has become a part of we humans just like without air we can't live and is normal to say without money things won't go the way we want (is ok to say we need money in our life), we have to push ourselves to that extra miles to make that money. Even after making that money we as humans can never be satisfied which means we need more money, to some they only need the money just to be financially stable.
When we get obsessed with money that thought of getting it will never leave our mind, it becomes difficult to only think of a positive way to get it, whichever way either by stealing or looting like the OP said will always be an option. Worries about money take up the emotional mental space of our life, things we do is all about calculating how or when to get it, staying with people around us becomes a problem and is like we need to meet up to the standard of thae world meanwhile we forget that is not everything that works the way we plan them, and we won't devote the little time we have to enjoy life and being with loved ones all in the name of how we feel about money and how to get it.

Your point is noted, indeed, the rising wave of financial discontent and difficulties that many face, struggling to keep their heads above water in a sea of mounting duties and inflation. While it is true that most seek ways to bump up their income in tandem with the ever-spiraling cost of living, reality often paints a different picture. As if stuck in stasis, incomes stagnate; meanwhile costs merrily pirouette upwards without restraint. This disparity exerts colossal pressure, particularly bearing down heavily upon the already burdened poor and middle class strata within society.

The problem is significant enough that the government needs to act but, typically, standalone actions by governments are inadequate. A minimum wage that does not keep up with inflation leads to erosion of people's purchasing power which in turn exacerbates the economic inequality. What has to be done with stronger determination is more pro-worker policies so as to lead people towards greater decent livelihood.

It is important, however, to appreciate that the aspiration for more wealth is not always negative. Money serves as a tool for satisfying our needs, attaining security and even contributing to societal well-being.

Now that's just some seriously bad English, son.  You lost me with the first sentence, and I can't say that anything you wrote after that makes much more sense.  I'd say this was an AI-generated post, but it's missing the 'intelligence' component and I doubt an AI program would write something as nonsensical as this.

And look at these replies that follow....wow.  This forum is going downhill faster than it was in 2017 or thereabouts.

it is normal. People live and need money to buy all the necessity needed for everyday life. I can say its 10 out of 10 scale, because all of wants money. In any means people will seek money. But as time goes by and everything changes in prices, more people are doing double time to make money. Even children are also more practical in choosing money rather than buying some toys. ( cause most of this children now are exposed in the reality of life)

Our needs influence our actions. So we are constantly working to meet our needs (which may increase due to social or economic reasons). Think back to a few decades ago when there was no such upward movement in market value, so people were not as desperate for extra income as they are today. As the price of everything is constantly increasing nowadays people are engaging in various activities for extra income. It even gives rise to crime. Another reason is that nowadays people are much more aware and worried about the future than in the past. Due to this almost everyone is addicted to making money.

I agree with you here because almost everyone has a high interest in making money in this world. There is no level of finance that this 9% will be satisfied with. The problem is that most of these people get to have more and more responsibility as time goes by and inflation increases every month I would say yearly. And it's so annoying that the monthly income or minimum wages of workers remain the same every single year and the government is not doing anything to harness the situation. Op, I wouldn't call it addiction because almost everyone wants the money and it is what it is. People in high places want more what do you think the poor and the middle class would do? There is no solution to money addiction and as time goes by the urge for money will continue to increase.

Capitalist economic systems exist throughout the world where the majority of wealth is held by a few and the majority of people are largely poor or middle class. Those who have mountains of wealth are eager to get more wealth at any cost. They are exploiting the poor people in various ways like increasing the prices of goods. They are not paying proper wages to various lower and middle class people. Governments of different countries also continue to support them because they have a lot of resources. Ordinary people act only as usable agents. The rich class of people are enticing to make laws in their favor and increase their wealth even more by raising the prices of goods at every stage and reaping their profits.
