From a personal perspective, real wealth is not only focused on literal money, because many rich people, as in many billions of dollars, do not have peace of mind. If you look, most of the rich are not rich with real friends.
That's why there are other rich people who pretend to be poor people because they want to experience a normal life without much thought about their riches. When you only have friends who can be true to us and who will remind us of the right or wrong things we do, that is the real treasure that money cannot buy.

Money is very much needed to survive in life. Life without money is impossible. Everyone should make use of life time to earn money. And using it properly. Because misuse of money can bring disaster in our life. Everyone should save. But after meeting the basic needs. If you spend it at the right time in life to earn money, you will get its benefits at the last age. But each person looks at life differently. But while meeting the needs of money, one should not forget to enjoy life. Everything is needed. The importance of money cannot be overstated. But it should be kept in mind that earning money is not the main goal of life.
Living life without having money is of course very difficult and what you say is very true, most people will continue to use the time they have to earn money and the most important thing is that once we have the money, we must be able to manage it well so that we don't use it for other things. which we don't really need.Enjoying life is indeed a very important thing because it is a form of appreciation for ourselves for the achievements we have obtained from the work we have done, because if we just keep collecting money and don't enjoy it, of course this will be a huge loss if we die and don't enjoy it. can enjoy the results of the hard work we do.
When did money isn't everything?
Money is an asset, you can't live without money. Before the government issued USD, you can live without fiat since at that time assets were gold, garden, house etc. But after the government issued USD, people need to have fiat to live because it's the only currency that accepted by everyone.
Couldn’t agree more. Money is what makes everything happen now, if you have no money, you will fail on your dreams and goals in life. But of course, one should not rely on money alone but he should also build his skills and expertise and put a lot of efforts on the certain goal he has set. But above all, we work harder to earn sufficient amount of money, and even do everything to acquire money as long as it’s legal, because reality will hit us that if you don’t have money, living life will always be a struggle. Money is an asset, you can't live without money. Before the government issued USD, you can live without fiat since at that time assets were gold, garden, house etc. But after the government issued USD, people need to have fiat to live because it's the only currency that accepted by everyone.
Money is never wealth but knowledge skill and ability to achieve something properly healthy body and happy beautiful mind is the real wealth.
Yeah, you must be rich or at least someone who don't have to think about your financial conditions, that's why you can say like that.
Money is certainly not "all wealth", no. Being happy with what you have today, while aiming to do even better is all it takes to make some humans very wealthy.
Now it seems to me that money is all there is to survive in the world. Since 2020, since family finances have worsened, it is slowly seeming like money is everything in this world. Where there is no money you will find nothing. There is a saying that many people say, money can never buy you happiness but to me this is the funniest saying. Because without money you can never get all the things you want for happiness. In every case in this world you must depend on money to survive. Now I have to force myself to believe that at the end of the day it seems impossible to run this world without money. Where you have to depend on money to do every job or take every step, from studying, there is no other way and at the end of the day it seems to me that studying where there is financial insecurity is also unusual or not worth it. Because when you see that your father in your family has taken the responsibility of your entire family on his shoulders and it has become much more difficult for him to carry the responsibility of the family, then you will no longer want to do anything other than earning money, then only the sense of responsibility will work in your head. I don't know how accurate my words are but to me it seems right now in this situation.
Now it seems to me that money is all there is to survive in the world.
Money is important, but still not all that is needed for happiness, although it is necessary because of the many problems it can solve. It may seem at times that money is everything most people are living their lives for because of how much of their time they have dedicated to making money neglecting all other activities. While trying to make money, we have to make sure to live and enjoy the process, because of the brevity of life.Do not go after money and forget about your family and close friends'.
That's probably because you haven't tried to live sustainably like growing your own garden where you can get all the stuff you need like food. If you actually know how to live in a farm, you can easily live out of the stuff that you maintain and grow there. Sure it might need money first but when things get going and you make it grow even more for yourself, you probably won't be able to rely too much on money anymore. So yes, in some way, money will never be all wealth, if you're talking emotionally, spiritually, there's more to things than just money to be called wealthy.
This may sound easy, but It is actually not. We live in the modern world and as much as you don't want to believe that you rely much with money, I'm afraid you're wrong. Farmers from the state side here in my country have grown a lot of different crops and raised countless of live stocks, but they still need to come down to the market to sell their products, of course in exchange with money because again we are in the modern world.
Now, that scenario along let's me think that no matter if you live off grid, you'll always rely on money for your transportation, your kid's education, some farm equipment maintenance, and anything that you need to buy out of necessities. This may somehow reduce the expenditure because you own a farm, but one would always need money.
It is few persons who don't know that money is wet and the money is also health so for me I believe that when you are having money it will help to elongate your life on Earth because money give joy but when you are not having money you'll be having a different thinking and different kind of challenges that will make you to be depressed in life so money is everything but the money is not everything for my own Theory because it does not buy life but it will make you to be comfortable on Earth
Do you want to rule the world? in this case you really need to have a lot of money and control many processes. If you want to be a happy person, then money is not the most important element in life. These two concepts must be separated. Happiness is satisfaction with everything you have and a feeling of harmony here and now. This feeling does not depend on the amount of money. Even if a person has the opportunity to control many processes in our world, he is not always happy about it. I would not combine these two concepts.

The saying "money cannot buy happiness" is far beyond the way you are just thinking, my friend. Money can do a lot of good things for an individual, money can grant you a very great opportunity, make you to live luxury, make you to meet other high status men and women whom you would not have met if you had zero money. Money can be used to archive so many great things in life, but you cannot really go to any market in the world, to any shop in the world, or to any hotel in the world and use the money you have to purchase happiness like a goods. You can buy different kinds of provisions; you can buy a TV; you can buy the most expensive phone in an electronics shop; but you cannot buy happiness in those places I have mentioned.
When you are unhappy and deep down, you are aware that money is not the reason why you are not happy, what do you do then? Can you use that money to go and buy happiness?. Read more meaning into that phrase.

Money isn't everything! Feels like it is I know. But there's more to this life. Family, good friends, people who genuinely care for you - you cant put a price tag on that stuff. Yet it matters so much, especially when times are tough. People like that can be an anchor for you.
Yeah I'm not gonna lie, the situation plainly sucks. Money problems are mad stressful, no doubt. But don't let that completely overwhelm you, you know? Focus on what you can control for now - hitting those books building real skills, hustling hard. There's a way upwards, but itll probably take some grit to get there.
That's probably because you haven't tried to live sustainably like growing your own garden where you can get all the stuff you need like food.

If you divide fresh water land and ocean equally for all 8 billion people
each of us gets
.33 acres of fresh water lake/stream/river
4 acres of land
12 acres of ocean.
it simply is far too little resources for people in general.
we would be much better off at the size of 400 million people or having 20 planet earths.
Does not matter what you want to call wealth you can see from above there really is not much on the planet.
Btw time matters no one gets 150 years worth of time.
Do I consider money wealth no I don't
I consider
fresh clean water
land that is not wasted and polluted
ocean that is not wasted and polluted
and time which includes good health
to be the most important aspects of wealth.
Money is not everything in this world but those who think that money is everything cannot maintain a happy life and happy relationship. Everyone wants to live a happy life but they are working day and night just to earn money so I think this is not a happy life because if we work hard we will earn and if we stop to work we will not be able to earn.
Some people don't think about their health but I think health is more important than money so I think money is not wealth but health is all wealth. Money is the need of life and without money we cannot buy anything but happiness is not related to money.

Welcome to the real world, cash rules everything around. It's simple, with money everything is easier and everything is much easier to reach... even if something doesn't work, with money it's easy to lubricate (I hope it's the right term) and find a solution. There is a proverb: "If you can't solve a problem with money, you can solve it with a lot of money".
But not everything is so simple in this world, after all, money (or wealth) cannot buy everything, simply said some things are not for sale. Money can make some things easier, but still, if someone is "stupid" he is stupid both with money and without money... it's the same for some people who are unfortunately sick and cannot be cured by all the money in the world.
Like with many other things I guess, it's hard when you don't have it, it's hard when you have it too much... being moderate in life is hard, but when people achieve that they don't need too much of anything to be really happy and fulfilled.
The reason why people said money can’t buy happiness is that sometimes when you have money there are some certain things that you can’t get, although money can control things there are some things that money can’t control or buy, when you have money and you don’t have good health that means you are not happy with the situation you are in the moment, and also there are some money you will make that will not be in a good way and you will having a feeling about what will happen at the end, to be honest money is life but the way we make money sometimes doesn’t bring happiness, so what we need is to pray and work to make money in better ways and leave a good life if not what some people see in life before becoming a successful person in life is not a easy life.
OP, perhaps this user is too dependent on money. I do not deny the importance of money in life, but see it as a means to easily achieve what you want.
For example:
If you can contact people with money, power,... in society. Ask if they are happy or not?
IMO, there will be many different answers, but in that position they will use money to dominate those who need it.
And in other cases that I know from spiritual practitioners, or some philosophers, they express that the things we try to achieve and until we achieve them really only make us approach it close to tragedy in life.
So it's just a personal opinion, everyone is free in their choices. From believing that money brings happiness or whatever they see when they have money, feel free to follow what you think is your ideal life without imposing on others and must live the way you live.

Apparently, it's just a piece of paper and that's what we all are working day and night to get our hands on the paper, but as you said without it you will be nothing even your family may find that you're not really fit to survive if you don't make money. People who say money doesn't buy happiness either too rich so they don't know how hard is to get money in the hands when someone belongs to middle class.
Some people are denying the fact that money is not everything, I tends to agree with them under one condition which is when someone is sick your money cannot buy you good health, but apart from that, I think money can be everything.
Without money, there are several things you can never do because you will be limited to some certain things because you have no money, and before you invest in anything, you need capital which is money. Moreover, you not have a good background education without having money to sponsor your bills and this life depend on good background in all aspect and to even get respect, you need money.

Money can only make things happen that you want, that you can buy using money that will make you happy, but that alone is not enough.
And you also have to know that it's not just money that will make you happy and rich, because there are many things that are more important than everything and also money. The most important thing is health, a life partner and also having a happy family, career and life experience which in my opinion is more than just money and wealth that must be had. And in my opinion there will be no point if you have wealth just by having money, if you don't have everything I mentioned above then it is useless and meaningless. Think carefully, what true happiness and wealth look like.

But I want to ask you, if you didn't have money, would your family be happy ? Are you happy when you cannot provide good food for your children , your children do not receive a full education, or your wife does not have beautiful dresses or jewelry ? If it were me , I wouldn't be able to feel happy when my children and wife are more disadvantaged than the people around me . Not to mention , how will you take care of and nurture your parents when you don't have much money ?
Our society is becoming more pragmatic than ever, where money can erase all sadness as well as bring you all joy and happiness in life . We need to accept that truth and adapt to it instead of avoiding it .
And I just said that it doesn't mean that only money makes us rich or happy, health, a happy partner or family and so on, and what I mentioned is the valuable wealth and happiness that we must have besides money.
I hope you can read it and interpret it well, thank you for commenting on my comment.
Money is important, especially in more capitalistic and more urbanistic countries. But there are simple joys that people can get without it, such as nice weather, or depending on where you live, you might be able to go fishing or forage mushrooms without any permits.
When money's really tight, it can have negative impact on one's happiness, and sometimes money can make people happier. But from what I've heard (there's a nice video about it) about long-term research on money and happiness, it's not so simple. Even high achievers tend to be happy, in hindsight, about their relationships (with their loved ones, children, friends, etc.) rather than results. Also, people who were already kind of happy get happier with more money but those who were miserable kind of remain miserable (or at least the marginal value of financial success is much lower for them).
People often misidentify what they want and what can make them happy, and when they get it, they immediately get unhappy because they move on to the next thing. Happiness is often an attitude and mindset problem.
