Those they should be called money addicts are those that make use of illegal means to achieve having money, because by nature, everyone of us seems to have desires and interest for money, because we will need money to make life and fulfil dreams, but those that got it in the from way are such that are addicted with it, they can use any means to make sure they have money even at the cost of others.

Doing things on earning money isnt really that wrong as long it would be legal or on the right way then it should really be just that fine but on the moment that you are already doing illegal things then this is where shit things happen. Money addiction? Honestly, we are all trying out very best on accumulating money as much and as possibly as we could because we do know that if we do have tons of money then we can buy all the money that we do like and this is something that we are really that thriving or hoping for. Im not saying it is really that a form of addiction or some sort but rather this would really be just that a very common step that someone would really be making because we do love on earning money and buying all the things that we do want. This is the main reason on why we do work, making business or investment
is to earn more money.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

Being frugal is a good trait and there is a difference between being a miser and being frugal about spending even though these two words come up as synonyms in books.

In order to adapt to rising costs and livelihood, the people who have become frugal are only a small fraction of the earning population. Most of them are getting a job and spending as much as they earn. They have not become frugal rather they are addicted to spending.

But this is good for us bitcoiners, because are frugal by nature of bitcoin. Our stashes will increase in price as time passes.

On a scale of 1-10 I will say 9 out of every 10 are addicted to making more money even though not everyone attain this height at the end of the day. We live in an every hiking economic society. Prices of commodities keep changing as each day passes by. This has invariably triggered the addiction to more money as the usual earnings is no longer enough to maintain once life style

This statistics isn't correct but there's no doubt that people will choose making more money instead of reducing their expenses to stay on budget in life. Being hungry for more money isn't a bad things when it makes you to double your hustle in the right ways than doing things illegal just to get the money. As my friend always says, having a problem of too much money is better than having a problem of not having enough money. If you do the right things and get more money, you can determine how you'll spend the money either giving it away to charity or increasing your investment to retain your wealths. Price of commodity are raising because of inflation and you can fight that by making the right investment and not having to work more for money but make your money work for you.

Quote

Many have been forced into adapting to their current spending ability, others have deviced means to earn more so as to meet up others has choosen the looting method just to survive.

This is a choice, having to do unethical things to make money isn't the last option of a man and incase anybody reading this is thinking about doing the same just know "A good name is better than silver and gold". Money isn't everything life should be about, your reputation is as important as the money you want to have. If you're doing the ethical things and getting money, I won't call that addiction as addiction is mostly associated with negative outcomes.

Money addiction

In my opinion, when we talk about the word "addiction", we are talking about bad things and evils in society. Meanwhile, making money is to meet life's needs and to survive in this world, so I wouldn't call making money an addiction.

Making money is an extremely difficult and sometimes even life-threatening task in high-risk jobs. So in your opinion, is anyone stupid enough to be addicted to things that can get them into trouble, even endanger their lives? Making money is our only way if we don't want to be eliminated from this world.

when you need money to meet your needs, it's not an addiction to money, but rather you need money to survive. never mind 9 out of 10 people, i think that 10 out of 10 people will also have the same opinion that if given the opportunity they would make more money than they can get, because that is their need. especially in today's difficult times and the prices of necessities are increasingly expensive, it requires people to be smarter in making money for their needs or the needs of their families. unless they have a little error in their brains, maybe they won't worry about money.

In my opinion, there is no one who doesn't want a lot of money because that is human nature. Especially in this era, to survive you need money. Therefore, if asked, everyone definitely wants a lot of money, it just depends on how they can make a lot of money to meet their needs or want to achieve certain goals.

Based on this Ninety percent of people in every sector of life has higher chances of looting only that most people are not privileged to get the opportunity to carryout what's in their minds

Anyone who fails to make more money in this current economic condition might not have enough to cover his needs. The cost of goods and services is going high every day, which is making people seek alternative means to make extra money since the minimum wage in some countries still remains the same. I don't see this situation as an addiction to make more money but a struggle to survive. I don't think people will want to work themselves to death because they want to be rich but many will do it just to survive.

You didn't back your view with any research work so I don't think your view that 90% of people will steal if they have the opportunity. There are still many people who have integrity even in the face of poverty. There is news of a cab driver who returned a huge amount a passenger forgot in his car. If you check the internet, you will see more news of how very poor people refused to steal when they had a clear chance of becoming rich fraudulently. I will agree that many people will loot if they have the privilege but they might not be ninety percent like you indicated.

People earn money through hard work and effort it cannot be called addiction if a person is addicted to money he has to work hard to earn money. Earning more money will make him rich easily because you either grew up in poverty or you grew up in privilege. Most of the middle class are not overly materialistic. They have enough to meet their needs but they understand that not all their needs can be bought with cash. Privileged people are just trying to make money to maintain a lifestyle.

That's a bad term though, I don't think that people are addicted to making more money, I mean yeah, we work and we go established business to earn and make a living and live a good life. But it doesn't mean that we are addicted. Perhaps the right term is attracted. And it really depends on the lifestyle, the rule is that you don't spend more than you spend. And with that, anyone here can live lavishly according to the money that he attracted to himself/herself. But if you spend more, then that's where the problem arises and as if you wanted more money and become addicted to it because you wanted to sustain your lifestyle. However, it's the wrong kind of attitude though, because sooner or later it will realized that it i not feasible, unless you win a lottery and become a instant millionaire, but that chance are very slim.

I don't see anything wrong with the word used because that is the truth, people today have a serious obsession with money, they will really find a way to earn a large amount of money even if the exchange is not desirable things. If you are just a normal citizen, you really have the desire to earn a large amount of money because you have not lived with generational wealth to look forward to, many have a stable income but keep looking for another source just to earn more money .

Making more money is most important to everyone most especially the young youth, making more money is a way to make life easier for everyone, the reason why people can’t stop making money is that every day the prices of food and other items get more expensive, and for you to survive you have to make the money to buy what you need, many people have committed crimes today all in the name of money, even the salary earners are not okay with what they paid them monthly that is why every government you go to do something they will ask for a bribe even if it is a small amount and I never blame them because they are also finding way to get money to take care of their families.

The world has become something else, in the old days you would find it difficult for people to complain about money but these days even a 10-year-old girl and boy are looking for money just to take care of themselves and make a good life for themselves, out of 100% of the world the 100% are looking for more money because even the richest man in the world is still working hard to make money just to keep shining that he is the richest man in the world, life has been so hard to many people and the only that can make it easy is the government.

Not a claim, but people's habits of prioritizing desires over needs. People tend to force themselves to earn a lot of money to fulfill their desires, not their needs.
For example, smartphones and other outfits such as clothes and watches or other things to look fashionable and updated.
If people in managing money prioritized the principles of needs and benefits, I think addiction to money would be different.
This is what I understand the OP's meaning.

I wouldn’t call that addiction of money. If you gave the chance so people wouldn’t work, almost everyone would take it. But you can’t be caught slacking because poverty is usually around the corner of lazy people. You do not want to appear as one. What can we do today without money? Money solves a lot of problems and without it, the problems are usually more weighty and multiple. There’s really need for striving to make money.

The desire to have a lot of money is not called addiction but just to be able to survive because without money we cannot survive in a pragmatic society like today. I believe that if our world was not so harsh, we could survive without too much money, people would definitely choose that path. But clearly, we have no other choice but to have a lot of money if we still want to survive in this world. Look at what's going on, how quickly commodity prices are rising, and if we don't find ways to increase our income, how will our families live?
For me, making money is a responsibility, a mandatory obligation whether we want it or not.

It's not money addiction, it's the need for money. You can't turn on your lights and gas if you have no money. We are slaves to work constantly because of the need to have money to live.

There are places where you don't need money but it would be in the most remote areas where the community lives in a slow lane.

It is quite reasonable to say that to ourselves because in reality it cannot be denied that everyone who lives in a crowd or in a place that is not remote always needs money for their own living expenses. And even though a small number of people call it a slave to money, I don't think it's a problem that should be thought about if they don't provide a solution to deal with the costs in life which are always needed by everyone. So I also quite agree with what you say because those who like to live in the city always have to work to earn money compared to those who live in remote places where they don't need to rely too much on money.

Quote from: Ever-young on May 23, 2024, 11:54:25 PM

Money has really be part of our lifestyle, as it has been mostly used in this century, I don't think that we do in our daily activities that don't require money, we can't eat or get educated without money being involved, although money is not actually everything but without money in our lives, we can be comfortably in some areas of our life and there are things in this life, that if we don't have money, we won't achieve it, so that is why money is mostly needed in this lifetime.

In conclusion, money has become important for those who live in crowds or live in places where nothing is free without involving money. This means that as long as the environment we live in always relies more on money to get any service, of course everyone will continue to look for money without caring about what other people say about money. Because under normal conditions it is clear that no one will want to endure hunger just because that person doesn't work and doesn't have money to buy food every day.

Well we must always make it so we can have money. It is 1 thing we must have in this life if we want to survive. We need it for our food for the families and for a shelter over our head.
And for that reason I think we do have this addiction to money. People does such horrible things in this world to have money. There is so much evil for money because of the addiction and need to have it.

That’s true and maybe that is where it becomes problematic. If you are willing to commit crimes, or to inconvenience other people harm them for your own good just for money then that is already something you need to reflect on.

Other addictions just like gambling or drugs may be overlapped and coexist with addiction with money. It’s all kind of related if you think about it and one needs to be stopped in order to stop the other.

Money addiction to me is just plain greed. While it may be dependent on the gravity of greed, it is the result of doing that thing or hustle or work more aggressively inorder to earn higher pay, while also doing other stuff as side hustle still, all just to increase ones earning.
While this as I just stated is a sure way for everyone who wants to get rich and wealthy, it is the unhealthy way or practice that is followed to earn money, such that one can even kill or maim or deceive, just to get money or claim it from someone who has it, that makes this kind of greed or what we call money addiction in this context to be bad.

It's a necessity, not an addiction.

We need money in our everyday lives to support ourselves if we're single or to support our own family if we're married. Especially in urban areas, where everything has its own price no matter how small it is. Unlike in countryside, you could plant your own vegetables and other crops, you can even ask your neighbor for some vegetables for free, that you can't do it urban areas.

Money is everything in this world, because it can buy anything you wanted. Money is power, that's why big people belittling the poor people always.

Money is the most essential thing in life. OP What you mentioned I can also call it money addiction and need money. The prices of the things that we need to live are increasing day by day but our income is not increasing, due to which everyone is now mad for the need of money and how to earn more money.
Economic recession has occurred in various countries of the world which has affected various working people. People living very simple lives are now running out of all the money they earn from their jobs to support their families and pay rent. As a result people are looking for ways to make more money and focus on making more money, which you consider as money addiction.
