There is a lesson my parents taught to me since I was little and that lesson was how money is used to make more money and also usually people who have enough money to live the rest of their live peacefully with their family won't sopt there and will continue to try to accumulate even more, beyond their capabilities to spend it in their lifetime.
For example, here in my country we have a serious problem with corruption within the government (not only happening in low levels of policing), not long ago it was discovered one of the high ranking people in the oil industry had stolen up to 30 billon dollars.
Are you aware of how much that is? He could have stolen like 50 million and he would already have enough for the rest of his life, but for some greedy and strange reason, he decided to go further, for money he may not even be able to spend. The same thing applies to other millionaires and billionaires who want to accumulate more and more.
Perhaps it is not about accumulating for the sake of it, it could be about building a legacy.
Not matter whether one is a poor person living in a developing country or a millionaire in the United States, both people will continue to pursue money as much as possible, regardless of their completely different situations.
Topic: Money is never enough! (Read 1711 times)
The theme of the thread is that money is never enough sounds completely realistic to me. Because if money were always enough then people would never long for love nor thirst for beauty. But there are also people in the society who seem to think that their money is everything. That's why they chase after money all the time, they walk in the society as if they will never die. And the way they are neglected by their relatives after their death is as if they were never born as human beings. So the content of the thread seems very relevant to me that money is never enough for people.
because from basic human nature and in the Bible and other religious books, greed is a sin, but people from an economic perspective say greed is not a good thing, because you cannot control yourself as a result of your lust.
it's like fighting yourself.
it's like fighting yourself.
Think of when you hit a jackpot, and some cool cash slide into your pocket, you feels better and step up some pride and involved arrogance, you feel like you can buy the world with your peanuts lol, bro, I little shopping out of it can makes you look like a poor man again. There is this oil dealer guy in my community who happen to be hot market pro in the oil industry, he owns an oil well but this guy it gets to his head and start contesting for political power which he has lose twice now and the worst of it now is that the oil well is dried because suck the money into politics, loss everything. This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.
What I see in this is a typical example of greed!! And the worst part about it is that such people no matter how much money they can get their hands on, I can guarantee you that they will never be satisfied with it.Btw, given a chance for this guy to start his political career doing whatever task the job requires him to do, these are the kind of people that will not do their jobs but prefer to loot and run the reserves dry because money will never be enough and they will never be content with what they have thanks to greed.
Otherwise the secret to avoid all this greed is to know how to keep your money and how not to lose it !
Because humans always feel lacking and dissatisfied with what they have achieved. Whether it is enough or not depends on how one looks at it. People who always feel like money is never enough are like thirsty people who drink salt water. The more you drink, the thirstier you become. Even if you drink how many liters of water you will still feel thirsty. People who always feel short of money, no matter how much money they have, will never feel like they have enough. For example, when you are poor you will do anything to be rich, or at least look rich. When you are rich you will look for ways to be richer than the rich. Finally, the only thing that can stop the feeling of always lacking is death.
Yep, that's part of human nature, it's just that some people manage to control it and some can't help it. This feeling of having more becomes stronger when you have some, for example, if you don't have money but then you manage to get some money from somewhere, you start to feel that you should have more after that. One might feel that they will be contented once they get more, but in reality, that doesn't happen and the thirst keep getting bigger and bigger as you said.People that are poor think that those who have a lot of money might not need more or desire for more, but that isn't true. The rich keep trying to become richer over time, so this struggle never ends.

What I know is that if you know how to handle money and how to manage it correctly, you can definitely grow the money you have. But if you don't know how to properly manage the money you have, especially if it's a large amount, even then, it's almost as if they don't feel that they're running out of money and will only realize it when there's no money.
It means that we should not miss the financial management that you have. We know that money can help a lot in our lives. So it should be appreciated and not ignored.
I found the topic of money is never enough thread very effective and wonderful. Money is very important in life or money is very necessary in life but money is never enough for life. I want to say that from youth to old age we only chase after money. Chasing money leaves us so ignorant of our own lives that we never realize that there is more to life than money. When old age comes and we look at our lifetime savings, it turns out that most of those savings are not useful at the end of our lives. At this time it is realized that we have neglected life while earning money all our life, we have refrained from enjoying life, now we have a lot of money, we have earned a lot of money but what to do with this money? The moment is over. I believe that the next life or the next world will be transformed into a peaceful world if the topic of the thread can be presented or explained to our new generation.
Our thinking has become such that we think that if someone is financially well-off or if someone becomes rich overnight, his ego will swell or he will forget all his past. There is good reason for our way of thinking, we constantly see people in our society who forget their past due to temporary economic changes and forget their past they become very arrogant and very bad tempered. But among these people there are some people who really never change their pride or behavior considering their position. Around us there are people walking around who are unfathomable, they are very rich and they own a lot of money but they get along with everyone, whether they are rich or poor. Money does not change our state of mind but our mindset changes our mind.
Money will never be enough if we only have one income, because as time goes by we will definitely need more money than we got before.
And money also plays an important role in life's journey, indeed money is not everything, but nowadays everything requires money.
So it is very important for us to continue to earn money with the abilities we have without having to force things that will harm ourselves, and aim for our life journey and future so that we and our families are financially safe and comfortable.
So what I mean is that as long as we are equipped with the health and abilities that we have, then we should be able to make good use of them. By working to earn money and having additional income, it is also important for us to have more money to save and invest and also to create businesses and all to make money and money also work to grow.
And all of that is for life's journey, marriage, childbirth, child expenses, sending children to college. If you are sick, or have difficulty with money, want something, have important needs and so on and everything requires money, you have to really think about it, plan it, carry it out and make it happen.
And I didn't include a house and so on because it's mandatory and everything requires money, including for old age.
So before we go through all that, we have to be active in continuing to earn money and save, invest or do business so that money continues to flow and grow to provide comfort in life now and also for the future.

I heard somewhere is $20M is enough. You can do anything with that money. But i hear you, yes money is never enough. When they have nothing to buy and achieve, then they just like to see the numbers increasing. Its a weird fetish.
People have a habit of not being satisfied. In truth, there is nothing wrong with being greedy or having many dreams in life, as long as you don't do harm to others to get everything you want. For me, if you are capable of doing something and you know yourself that you can achieve your dreams, there is nothing wrong if we aspire even higher.
Greed exists at any age because a person's dreams are not possible to be fulfilled. If one dream of a person is achieved then he dream for another thing but he never stop thinking about money.
Even people will not say that they have enough money so when they recieve a jackpot they will say that if they find another jackpot then it will be enough but human never become thankful for what they have.
I think if one is hardworkers and is earning by using his skills then his dreams should be higher because the main reason behind his earning is his satisfaction and satisfaction will come if he achieved his dreams one after the other.
Money isn't everything, but you also have to admit that there is no job today that doesn't require money. One such thing I heard is that money can't buy you happiness but the things you can get happiness from, you will get through money. This is exactly the case now. If you can own sufficient amount of money and spend it according to the budget then surely you will benefit from it And if you can invest your money in the right places it can do a great deal of good for you, most if not all. Today it is very difficult to live without money in this world And money plays the most important role in fulfilling your needs. On the other hand, if you can keep yourself satisfied with your side and die, then of course it will be quite useful for you.
But then that’s the problem. What is the definition of sufficient money to you? We all claim to have an amount but it’s just temporary. If I asked you how much you need to stop working, you will say a huge amount but when you get it, you’ll want to multiply it because at that stage, you then discover that what you thought was enough isn’t. I am not saying it’s wrong to invest but then, what is sufficient money to us? To Elon Musk and all the richest men out there who are still striving to make more money.
I noticed you have 4 comments which apparently look like a mistake, you should delete the 3 that came after.

Pure human nature is like that, I'm sure most humans have this nature. when they can make money they often still feel inadequate about what they get, so there are people who work crazy to be able to have a lot of money, but in my opinion that's not bad, of course to make a lot of money we have to work hard. what is bad is the desire to have a lot of money but no desire to work. Many young people today want money but don't want to work, which I think is a problem.If you really want to have a lot of money then we have to work hard because that is one sure way to do it. It's true what you said, even when people are rich, there are those who still want more. In my opinion, being grateful for what you have is a must, looking for money is not wrong because it is a necessity, but don't let looking for money make us miserable, like doing work that never stops and we can't enjoy it, it's useless if we work but we can't do it ourselves. enjoy the work we do, I think it will torture us ourselves.
It is very clear that people do not have enough in life. I think this is normal for people who are still sane and have a hardworking mentality. Money is the main target for everyone to be able to demonstrate their capacity in society. For a businessman, when he already has everything in life but he still doesn't feel satisfied, he goes back to looking for other prestigious values through political channels. We can see that in various parts of the world, almost all leaders come from rich people who have large assets and influence because of their strong finances. It is impossible for everyone to feel sufficient in life because the environment always demands that we always be kings.
Your response really opened my mind and eyes to see all the things you said because all these things are very clearly visible in everyone's lives now. So, perhaps no one will be able to avoid or deny that everyone is moved to work hard to earn money and more popularity in their respective lives so that they can more easily be respected and taken into account by everyone around them. And business people all over the world are still doing the same thing as long as they are still able to achieve better things through their own work, even though that feeling of satisfaction does not come easily to people who can still work hard and earn more. 
Because humans always feel lacking and dissatisfied with what they have achieved.
That is part of human nature to have endless satisfaction and contentment. We have that desire to keep on doing things that we are out of capacity and treats it as a success once we're done with it and we're able to reach that limit of ourselves. We're all achievers and that's why it is not going to stop anytime soon even if there's already money on the lines and you're at the peak of your success whether in business or in your career.Especially when it comes to money, it seems like we all live just to make money and spend it, and so on. But that doesn't mean it's bad, but we have to dig deeper into the essence of it all. Everything we do will have a good impact as long as we move based on science and not based on the emotion of greed.

Yes, I must say money really is never enough. But that is how it should be right? I don't think I'd settle for less if I could get something bigger ( way out of your point though) but what I'm starting to say is money makes life better and everyone wants a better life.. money is never enough to cause more money you earn the more your condition moves forward and no reasonable Peron's would want to go back to a previous condition cause now that once comfortable life would make you miserable. Not being able to get what you want, not having as much power ... And then another matrix ( a slightly better one though, is born).
Anyways, money is never enough and the problems of life never end. We should watch our mentality and not limit ourselves with what we say. That's why sometimes... Money runs away from people.
