Topic: Money is all wealth? - page 4. (Read 2412 times)

I agree with your opinion, money is really needed in everyday life, because without money we cannot meet all our daily needs, indeed money is not everything, but everything needs money, look for enough money and appropriately don't let it feel like Greed and greed are in us because these are very ugly traits, because greedy people will never feel enough with what they currently have, so stay away from greed and greed, look for enough money for our daily lives. If you have more money, use it to save, such as investing in Bitcoin and buying gold, which can later become your savings in the future.

I don't dispute the facts that money is important and everyone need it for survival mostly the daily impressive need if our daily living, but what pissed me off us the length many goes just to make this money, I don't see it as the purpose is beyond daily needs but this so called greed you mentioned once a man begin to live in comparison to become what others are without having good plan and carrying out feasibility study of how those he desire to be make the money it shows bis ready to take any actions to achieve that dream.

The greedy people can never be satisfied no matter what is made available for them the unsatisfied spirit always control them, it's unfortunate been in situation like this called greedy.

Money is important in life because currently everything you will get needs money and if someone does not have money then their dreams will be incomplete even their needs will be unable to be fulfilled. In the past if a person has no money then he worked to minimise his expenses but these days a person does not minimise his expenses but tries to do double or triple jobs in order to earn more and gain the title of a wealthy person.

Every person becomes a hard worker because they cannot live a simple life that was possible in the past because everything seems difficult without paying for it. Money is necessary but it does not mean that everything will become achievable with the power of money as it can buy things but it cannot buy happiness.

Yes, I understand the general outline of what you said OP. And I understand what situation you are facing to be able to come to the conclusion you wrote. I'm sure you have gone through several obstacles in life that have left you at the point where you feel that without money you cannot live. I will not blame you nor will I justify your words. but I understand the situation. Because I've been in that position.

And basically money is the most important tool in this era. except in countries that are currently being hit by an extreme crisis where their national currency is no longer valid due to the extreme hyper inflation that is occurring. which made people there even start using old methods such as using gold and silver in transactions. And there you will understand that there are people who are starting to despair even with the currency they hold. So money is no longer everything. but normally in normal situations money is one of the most important things which is currently a tool to get the things you need in life. Although I prefer to think that insight and skill can ultimately be more important than money. Because with that we can make money come to us. Because what makes money seem so important is its value. So it could also be said that value is more important. And value can be in any form. Neither insight nor goods.

Long before the introduction of money, humans carried out transactions using barter. Barter is, exchanging goods or services for desired goods. For example, exchanging sugar for a bag of rice. The use of this method of bartering began decades ago and still persists in humans in the modern era. It's just that problems arise when two people who want to exchange do not agree on the exchange value. Especially if one of them does not need the goods/services that will be exchanged later. In the end, the barter system that had been going on for a long time was replaced with commodity currency. The system is still the same using goods, but the goods must be generally accepted as a medium of exchange or as a standard of value used in exchanging goods by society. For example, gold jewelry can be used directly to buy goods, but gold jewelry also has other functions, for example as a display that can later become an investment or used as jewelry for yourself. Because human needs continue to increase and it is not efficient to use barter alone, society is trying to develop a more efficient and measurable means of exchange, namely money. The form of money has also continued to evolve since its inception. The first is currency, there are two types of currency that we know, namely coins and paper money, we usually call currency as cash.

"Money can't buy happiness" perhaps this sentence seems to mean that money can't buy happiness. Are you among the people who agree with that sentence? This has become a debate where some people disagree with this sentence and say that people who say money can't buy happiness are just people who don't have a lot of money.
Money may not be able to buy happiness. However, it can buy security and safety for you and the people you love. Humans need money to pay for all the things that make life possible, such as housing, food, health and good education for you and even for your children or family.
Because basically, money is everything because if we have it, we can get whatever we want and what we need, starting from security, freedom, health, and even happiness. If you want something like that, money is a very powerful tool to get anything.

Oh yes, but some people may think that money is everything, but for some people it is also possible that money can only provide happiness for a moment or only lasts for a short time. In the end, no matter how rich you are, you will come to the conclusion that money is not everything.
Even though in some cases money is everything and can be a tool to control your life, the fact is that it cannot guarantee your happiness in life. Even though it is possible, it is only temporary. Because money is not everything in life and money is not the most important thing, having money does not necessarily mean happiness. With money, we can only buy pleasure, but not happiness.
Money also can't buy you a possibly disease-free life. Sometimes we are sick and there is nothing we can do about the pain. However, as we discussed above, having more money can buy access to adequate healthcare or medical care.

So yes, money also has limitations. Some people can argue that money is not everything. But it is a tool to achieve higher levels of happiness and gives us everything we want as long as you have money.

Money is a resource, a means of exchanging some material goods for others. Wealth doesn't just focus on money. Wealth is a complex of resources, one of the elements of which is money. And in the end, storing wealth in money is very stupid (inflation, my friend).

Wealth is not the money itself, but the means of production (business) that generate income. Money can be considered the equivalent of wealth, but this is only a subjective assessment. For example, take Amazon, which is valued at ~$790 billion. Here, wealth is created by the business itself (infrastructure, clients, etc.), and the valuation on the stock market is that very subjective assessment. The value (wealth) here is not the conventional numbers on the broker’s screen, but the material (and intellectual) property.

Money is a symbol of wealth, every person who has a lot of money will definitely get that title. Every sane person always works to earn money, without money the world feels dark.

Money is also a means for humans to transact to obtain goods and services, as well as in investing, money really determines the direction of policy. People who think will not waste their time in vain but they will do anything to achieve success.

Yes, you are absolutely right because your all is real and good. Enery man can't run without money because money is important in our life. Otherwise few people say that money can't buy happiness, okay right but i can't agree with them because present time is very hard without money. I don't know if everyone thinks it but it's real talk and present time i say money can buy happiness. When you have a lot of money then you are a great man in our nation.

Yeah, in everything we planned we need money to make it work, without money things because strange and stupid that's why in everything we do we have to plan to make money, without money there won't be happiness. I have seen people who gets frustrated because they don't have money, and in every investment wey also need money to start it. However, I have also believed that with wisdom one could conquer the any challenge but one the other side, wisdom without money is not yet completed.

Money is not everything, but everything needs money, these are words that are now widely used by young and old people, because money now determines everything we want, if there is money everything we want is achieved, many people are depressed because they think about money, money is our livelihood where we have to wake up every day just to earn money, so that we can continue our lives, so money can change everything, from a good person he can become an arrogant person because that person has a lot of money so that makes him an arrogant person and Look at other people who don't have money with one eye, and money can also make them better, they can use it well and in the right way, such as helping others in need, therefore use the money as well as possible.

The desire and necessity of money in human life will never end and we can never deny its necessity. So we have to earn money. Money has a lot of power to attract people. Once one becomes disillusioned with money and greed consumes him, then his life will no longer be happy and comfortable and all those associated with him will suffer. Because when a person is greedy for wealth, his conscience and morality will not prevent him from doing bad things.

I agree with the op 100%. If you look at a middle class family or a lower middle class family today, you will see that there is only one person earning. The children of these families usually see their father suffering a lot and after seeing the responsibilities of the family, they have a thought in their heads from childhood that money is the source of all happiness.

However, money is not really the source of happiness.

But if you look at the present age, you will see that those who eat day by day cannot function properly. As far as I am concerned, it is the responsibility of the government of every country to provide proper food and proper work to all its citizens.  But in every country poor people stay poor and rich people get rich. One of the common reasons for this is that people's thinking is that rich people always think about how to earn more or where to invest money to earn more profit. On the other hand, a poor person in that place thinks that if I have some money today, I can eat well for two days. We can all be happy the day this thought is removed from us.

Besides, I think money is really the source of happiness in today's world.

I understand the desire to earn money because we can’t possibly survive without any but there are people that are just too greedy and can’t be satisfied with what they have. That is very unfortunate as they are the people who are most likely to do something evil just for money.

If we are comfortable in life then that should be enough, no?

It is true that by having money, of course everyone will be able to fulfill what they need and will also be able to live their life well, but if you compare the problems of health and money, of course these two things are really needed by everyone to be able to live a good life and We see many people who have worked hard to do their work without caring about their health, but what happens after they have health problems is of course that they will not be able to enjoy the results of what they have done.
You are right, it would be better for someone to do their work to accumulate wealth while still thinking about their health and still having enough rest time to maintain our health.

Inasmuch as the importance of money can never be overemphasized, I still wouldn't completely agree with your assertion about money being the most important thing in life.
Yes money is quite an important commodity that everyone needs in order to have an easy going life and be able to access the amenities of life and to solve majority of life's problems, but it might also interest you to know that there are some problems that one can't solve no matter the kind of money you have, one of such problems involves certaij health problems, like some incurable or terminal diseases.
That only shows that even health is just as important as wealth, so please change that perspective.

in terms of living needs, the economic factors that are most needed at the moment and we must have income in order to make money, whether big or small at this time, the important thing is to have income, that's the goal, so even though money is the most important thing in our lives, we shouldn't work too much hard to balance with the health of our bodies so that we can enjoy life.

The minimum survival needs per month or even per day for their families and employment opportunities are difficult to price due to inflation. This is what causes this.

Today's phenomenon that survives is those who own businesses. Any business that can generate an income of at least $10 a day is quite safe and anything more would be great whether from sales or manual labor work.

Anyone wants to live a normal life.

I disagree with your statement, first off you should define wealth,  according to the Oxford dictionary it states that " wealth is an abundance of valuable possessions or money." If you check Wikipedia it would tell you that "Wealth is the abundance of valuable financial assets or physical possessions which can be converted into a form that can be used for transactions".

 Now you'll see that Wikipedia's definition of wealth is also related to money cause what can mostly be used as  a form of transaction if not money, yes money is controlled by the government but I expected you to be specific with the type of money, because Bitcoin is also money since it has value and is used for financial transactions but can't be controlled by the government.

 I agree with you that health is wealth but I'll also put it to you that you also need money to maintain healthiness, you need to eat to exercise now how would you buy food if not with money even if you exchange your valuable items for food, the item was still bought with money, nobody is born with knowledge, some people pay to gain knowledge and even if you learn a skill from the Internet, you paid for the Internet you used to learn such skills online with money, listen dear everything in the world revolves around money, clothing, shelter, food, etc name it.

History has witnessed how greed has destroyed man because greed is the weakest and lowest characteristic of a human being. Since people in the world are subject to this invisible and powerful need called greed regardless of caste religion caste we must give extra importance to this issue when it comes to earning money. Because we want creation we want progress and we want humanity so it is our moral responsibility to avoid destruction.

The entire society has fallen ill, leading to an excessive pursuit of money by everyone.
