There is a saying that if we have 2 gold mountains, we will think to find the third gold mountain, humans will never be satisfied with the money and wealth that we have, what we do is a lot of grateful and the best way to be grateful is to help many other people who are more need.

I understand why having as much money as possible seems vital for most, but personally, if I'm earning enough to live relatively comfortably, then I'm fine with that. I'd never resort to such measures just to acquire more money; asking for bribes is completely unethical and goes against my values.

Money seems to never be enough; certainly, it wouldn't hurt to have a little more, but personally, I believe that we should be satisfied with what we have, and money shouldn't be our first priority in life.

I used to think and want to do the same as you or some people here. But I think I failed and I don't believe many people will. The magic of money will tempt us and is very hard to resist, it can be said to be irresistible. Many people always say they just want to make enough money to live, not need too much like you. But my question is, how is it enough to live and be comfortable? When you don't have money, you will save and buy cheap things, but I don't believe you will continue to live a poor life when you have more money. Because we try and work hard, the end goal is to make a lot of money, no one says that effort is only to earn just enough to live.
When you are in a life-or-death situation, and only money can solve your problems, you will know the importance of money more than anything in the world.

but everyone needs money. but many people have the wrong definition of need. finally they make as much money as possible to accumulate wealth. In the end, many are motivated to want to have a lot of money. Unfortunately, the fate of people is different, in the end, some of them make it seem like they can't get anything if they don't have money, this is what causes a lot of money to be misused.
at this time everything needs money, and basically humans want to fulfill all their needs and desires in life so that indeed if you continue to want to fulfill your desires then money will never be enough for someone.
everyone wants a lot of money even though not all of them succeed, that's natural but everyone's ambition is the same.
and in my opinion it is not wrong to use money, fulfilling desires in life is a natural thing to satisfy yourself and also make yourself happy.

Money changes your perception in life. I agree that there are many desires and many things that people wanted to achieve.

With lots of money, they will be able to be satisfy those lusts and they will be able to enjoy, but same with
both of you, not all are capable and not are have that same fate. We will get what we invest in life, if
you are able to find the right path, then it will manifest and it will give you the directions where you may enjoy
your financial capabilities. All depends on how you successfully established your finances.

As long as there are expenses in life, you will always look for ways to get extra money even though you already have a lot of wealth. Prestige makes someone always want to be number one or have a higher degree than other people, someone will feel proud if their house is better than other people, the car they use is more luxurious than other people.
A sense of satisfaction in seeking wealth is very difficult for someone to have, government officials who already live in luxury also want to have more money, they are even willing to commit corruption to achieve their goals. Money is like a beautiful woman, one will do anything to get it.

What you said is absolutely correct, money is like pretty girls and I bet everyone wants to. Anyone who says they don't want to is just lying, they're trying to hide their lust from everyone, but deep inside, they're just as lusty as anyone. Indeed, money is never enough, even though we already have enough money to support our lives, but we will always want more even though we won't use it. It is human nature, human greed is hard to restrain and stop. We don't need to talk about any politician or anyone but think about ourselves, we are all equally greedy.

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.

     -   Because other people think that if you have a lot of money, you will never run out of money. They did not think that if the amount of money is not used correctly, there is a high chance that it will be used up and go to nothing.

And I have seen a lot of people like that, like people who won millions in the lottery, from being poor to being poor in the end, because of the mis-management of the money they got. In which, it only proves that money is also limited when you don't plant a business that will also produce money.

Such a lifestyle always makes people feel deprived, so that in the end, to cover their ego, they do various ways to get money. actually life is simple, and we ourselves make it complicated by prioritizing wants over needs, so that what happens must be able to fulfill their desires so that others see them, actually they feel sorry for us when we see their lifestyle, life feels uneasy, and can't enjoy life casually. we as human beings must have ideals, but don't make those ideals for the lifestyle exhibited by other people, so that we forget ourselves, therefore be yourself, which is indeed appreciated because of our attitude, not that we seek appreciation from our possessions

This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.
Contesting for political power is not wrong, there are people that stepped up in life when they get involved with politics, this is a normal thing that anyone can do, I don't have any interest to lead or join politics because I don't like it, and I will never try to confuse anyone out of it just because they already have a good source of income, people easily judge other people saying ( he have everything, he is already rich, what else his he looking for?) well, we should all know that rich people can never be contented with what they have, they always want to grow higher, and we call this greed?

To me it's not greed to become something better in life, the mistake that many people did is staying on one business for life, and as time goes on, a new era begins and the business is not that good anymore, they had the chances to invest the money into something else.

Elon Musk is the owner of Tesla and now spaceX, is this also greed? Also, do you know that he purse Twitter and many people believed that he wasted a lot of money? Some people are even happy about it.

The reason why I don't like people that much is their way of thinking, most times it's evil and envies, when they can't make it to the stage where you are, the only thing they have left is hate.

Money is not a measure of happiness, unfortunately many people are too ambitious to raise money, if he is still poor and has difficulty eating of course it's natural to keep looking for money, but if there is someone who, if you calculate today's needs, is enough to support all your grandchildren, then it's time for us have a lot to be grateful and share to those who need it more.

It's easy to say, but not everyone can do it, and I bet you can't because greed is something that always exists in us. Just because we have not had the opportunity to own a lot of money, we always think that money is not everything, but when you have a lot of money, you will change and will have different thoughts.
This proves to be a formidable challenge, for greed is the offspring of one's mindset concerning their anxieties about the existence of money. However, it is within our power to avert this mindset by cultivating a profound sense of gratitude for what we currently possess. Transforming one's mindset into a grateful disposition can effectively halt our insatiable greed for amassing boundless wealth.

Furthermore, we have the capacity to nurture empathy towards society, wherein an individual's excessive greed for money engenders unjust social disparities. It is crucial to instill these values from an early age to prevent the formation of a greedy mindset that relentlessly compels us into becoming slaves to money.

We can do what you mentioned but don't forget we live in a very pragmatic society. Most people are living with the criterion that money is everything, and if you live the way you are saying, you will soon be eliminated from society. A friend of mine who works in a government agency told me. Most people take bribes, and if he is not corrupt, they will one day find a way to make him quit. He has no choice but to adapt to the environment. We need to accept the truth, society is very pragmatic, and money is everything, without money, we have nothing, and money is never enough for anyone.
I have a friend who went to renew his residence permit; he's from another country and was asked to bribe €50 in order to get things done more "quickly". Unfortunately, bribery is embedded in a corrupt society in which money matters too much. Nowadays, the world is a huge rat race. I understand why having as much money as possible seems vital for most, but personally, if I'm earning enough to live relatively comfortably, then I'm fine with that. I'd never resort to such measures just to acquire more money; asking for bribes is completely unethical and goes against my values.

The "money is never enough" is based off of a couple stories here that you've laid out of people who did a poor job handling their money.  The first example you use is about some guy winning money at a casino, but you don't state how much.  The second guy you mention is about owning an oil rig and then spending all of his money trying to get in to politics..but once again you don't mention how much money he spent.

Money can be enough if you save it and invest it properly as well as spending it within your means.  Not to mention it all depends on where you live and the cost of living etc etc.

Most rich people or people who have a lot of money just need recognition, so they never feel enough to buy something that sometimes doesn't really matter. Basically, no matter how small the nominal amount of money we have, money will not be enough if it is used for life because the wheel of life continues. Likewise, no matter how big the nominal money is, money will never be enough if it is used to fulfill a lifestyle. It's true, Money is never enough.

Why do so many rich people get into politics? I think one of them is to seek impunity and recognition from society. Apart from that, it is easier to avoid taxes that are indirectly "facilitated". Like Donald Trump, Kanye, Elon Musk too, that's why they got into politics.

Reading this post has cracked me this evening and I can not stop laughing, no matter how much you get is still not enough, that feeling is always natural when you have money and you start having thoughts of buying things you don't need and Another issue is that you see corrupt politicians everywhere. They spend a lot of money on campaigns, even if they don't win, and when they finally get elected, they usually expect a return of the money they spent plus more to maintain their lifestyle, which is very typical of the politicians in my region. As a result, it is hard to find honest politicians these days, and I don't think that will change because politicians are already accustomed to leading lavish lives.

As I see it, quite a few election campaigns are a sham, it's just a great way to "launder" money. If the budget is formed correctly, no election commission will find violations.

I agree with the statement that the more money, the more unnecessary spending. Real estate, cars, apartments, antiques are bought... Just for the sake of having. But what for? Is anyone going to use it?  It's all for the sake of saying, "I have 10 cars, and you have 9. Haha, you're a pauper"?

well, money will never be enough because human nature always wants to increase the amount of money they have. everyone will have that desire. what you gave is a great example. However, to give a small example, there are so many people who are unemployed today, they say that a salary of $ 50 a month, or $ 100 will make them grateful. Over time, they find jobs that pay more, at $120, they begin to be grateful for. however, within a few months or years, they will begin to feel that it is very little pay, and they want to increase it, then they look for another job that pays more, and so on.
Some threads also seem to say that having an additional job will increase the finances we have, it is also proof that the money we get is never enough. what makes it stop is gratitude and contentment. if we have that trait, maybe we will feel that the salary we have is less, but it is a sufficient salary and also fulfills the necessities of life, although people certainly tend to seek additional money from their salary.

Many people measure the success and happy of the money earned, I have a real experience, I have relatives who initially have a convection business and only have 5 employees, at that time my uncle had plenty of time for the family and was easy to find, but after 15 years the business developed until I had Around 120 employees and uncles also expanded into other businesses so that almost 4 years I did not meet directly.
it's only natural for reasons of busyness, and a businessman has the ambition to continue to develop his business without any limits for them, as well as the human desire to keep making money without enough, actually this is human nature that always wants more and also encouragement from the environment to can prove and satisfy yourself.

actually it looks too ambitious but if we experience it ourselves it will be very natural, money will never be enough for humans before they
