Topic: Money is never enough! - page 11. (Read 1719 times)

Ii is natural and common feeling that money is never enough, and we continue to desire more money. However, money can often lead to sense of pride and arrogance but it differs from person to person, depending on their values, beliefs and character. I have witnessed many individuals who use their money for supporting those who badly need it. Engaging in charitable acts can bring a sense of real happiness and fulfillment. However, it is also true that some people start feeling that they can buy the world and develop sense of superiority. In summary, we need to understand that money alone can not solve all problems and guarantee ever lasting happiness. True happiness comes from sense of purpose and meaningful relationship.

I don't think it's not enough money, but it is human nature that is always not satisfied with what he has, so that it does everything possible to increase the money he has for the satisfaction he is looking for.
That person put his money into the world of politics does not mean there is no purpose, surely he has the aim to improve the scale of his business or seek welfare in the political world.
Likewise the president, if in office does not mean he does not need food and other needs to live better, of course he receives a salary he must get to live in old age because he will not be president forever.


Yes that's true, money is not limited so that we can have as much wealth as possible we can without limiting it, and the decision that is always in managing money, we can be destroyed in the near future.
It could be that the oil person was wrong in investing their money into the political world without having a strategy to expand and manage their oil business to be even better.

President of a country is usually not the highest paid job, in the private sector you can find many CEOs that make tons more money that the President. The main feature for a President is to build a huge network and grant favours to rich people, which in return will make sure that you get either free money for campaign so that you get re-elected again, or they will give you a good job after your term ends. When it comes to supporting your buddies there are quite a few jobs that don’t require a lot of work but pay handsomely. For example, putting former politicians on the board of directors seems to be a pretty common way to pay back favours. Also in most cases the presidents are already rich before they become into poor, after reaching a certain amount of wealth it is more about the power than the actual money. For example, being able to fly around in the government jets, getting security detail 24/7 and all the publicity and special treatment what head of states become is what motivates many to get into office. It’s hard to stop when you get used to a certain lifestyle, that is why so many people go into debt when they face financial difficulties. So even when your income can’t sustain your position anymore, many people feel that it’s better to live above their means to project the power they still have.

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.

Thank you for the clarification, I understood the thread in the way I replied because when you say money is never enough, I thought he meant we can never have enough money to take care of ourselves which is true and that's why I give some solutions that can increase the amount of money that come into our accounts but with your reply and reading the thread again I got it.

When you talk about greed, not every individual you see have greed, they can have small money and be comfortable as that money will take care of their needs that are more important to them. We have those that although money isn't enough for them but still aren't disparate.

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. I have met people who say the same thing as you, they always think that money is not everything, brotherhood, husband, and wife are everything. But when they become wealthy, they differ entirely from what they used to say.

When we have money, we are expected to still engage in working continuously in getting more money because not until we are done spending the little we have before we can go further in sourcing for more, we are not meant to relent because we cannot have money being enough and same way is the needs arising for where money is applicable keep increasing, it is better to use the opportunity of today to work hard, earn, safe enough and invest for the future.

Money is unlimited numbers that's why it is endless and people are born greedy that's why it never satisfies all and that's the sad reality of life of having more money. I always put in my head that the more you want, the lesser you will have. Being contented is what we should be doing because money is not everything is this world. Being happy and contented with life is far more important than money.

What makes money is never enough is actually Lust and desire of someone who never feels enough. Because It's true that everyone in this world wants to have money to earn it in order to provide for themselves and have fun. It is natural to make someone's life better. But if we can't control money then that will be a problem.

Because in principle everything we need needs money, but don't make us slaves to money. Motivation must be clear why you need a lot of money, don't get a lot of money but don't know what to do with it. Time can't be bought with money, but time can be used to create money. With money, economic life becomes stable, our old age can be more secure.
There are people who are so happy that they only get $1000 because they can use it for many things that are important to them/other people. But there are people who feel normal when they get $ 1000 because they were born with the luxury they have.

Or if you are a true human being, you would crave for genuine connection. With money comes power, albeit secondhand, since you can pay people with power to do what you need and want to do. Heck, you can even buy power if you have the money - just look at politicians on poverty-stricken land. They continue to prosper in wealth and in power just because they have the money and the machinery to do what they want. Then again, not everyone with money knows what to do with it, hence some are doing dumb decisions just because.

When one have enjoyed the goodness of money, the next thing a person agonise is power. The person who had been discussed in the OP seems to be the same kind. With the wealth out of the oil well and related businesses he had made good money. Now he could've got fond of the power, maybe thats the thing happened. If not he could've misunderstood that beyond certain limit it is the power that can help in establishing more business.

The more you earn, the more your expenses increases. This is a human psychology that is present in everyone. Money brings more money, which is an eternal truth. What is my point here, you may ask. The point is when we earn money, it doesn't matter if the amount is low or high, we should always make a plan on how to use it and how we can grow it more. Because over spending is a common thing among us and also unnecessary expenses too. And even if we don't do this, without an investment plan to grow it more will lead to the asset being gone after some time.
So the thing is true that money is never enough. But keeping this in mind, we need to make sure that we always get a proper flow of money in our life. How do we do it?

Here's how it's done!

• Have a plan for your expenses!
• Make more than 1 investment plan.
• Do not over spend on something unnecessary.
• Choose the best option but also keep others as a backup plan
• Have more than one source of income.

[ Note:This is just basic knowledge. Do some deep research on your own if you would like to take that approach.]

A person's sense of enough and satisfaction with money tends to vary. It's hard for me to come to the best conclusion for assessing how a person feels enough about money until they are grateful for the blessings they have received. Elon Musk is a businessman and he needs to be smart enough to run the wheels of his business to keep moving forward. I don't think Elon Musk doesn't have enough of his money, but he is responsible for getting that wheel moving all the time.

In this world some people think that money is a symbol of strength because they will be able to buy whatever they want. Collect as much money as possible is the plan, but we must distinguish it into two categories; money works for money and people work for money.

You will never know the word "enough" when we are talking about money. Human will seek whatever the method they can do to get money and more money for their pleasure. That's why we need to set up our goal by myself about what to do with money so we can have self-sustainable money instead of just looking to get money that don't make you happy. Sure, money is great and can grant you happiness but do you want to live in that endless cycle? I would rather not. I would like to have "enough" money for myself and my family in the future, that's probably the goal for me.

If we don't value and handle our finances wisely, there will never be enough money. We might be tempted to buy and enjoy things we had never experienced before if we had a large sum of money, but if we were prudent and concentrated on making a profit with it, we could be able to achieve financial freedom. If we spend all of our money without considering other ways to increase our profits, it will only last for a short while.
Most of the time, we become greedy when we achieve something especially financially but if we will feel grateful and value what we have, whatever we have on hand will be enough. There are people who have experienced success but have lost everything they have in just a short period. The usual reason is that they became abusive in handling their finances and spent it unwisely on their wants over their needs. Instead of buying assets, they focused on buying liabilities and spending rapidly.

I think greed and insatiableness are what contribute to the perception that money is never enough. When you constantly strive for more possessions without considering your actual needs or finding satisfaction with what you have, it can create a perpetual cycle of dissatisfaction. These insatiable desires can lead to negative consequences, both personally and on a larger scale. While money in itself is a tool that can provide security, fulfill basic needs, and create opportunity, do not focus too much on accumulating it as it can affect aspects of your life.

There are no enough words for anyone who is still alive in the world to collect money, even the richest people in the world are still thinking about the best way to increase their wealth. As long as the stomach can be filled, you never find people who stop collecting money. Elon Musk is still accumulating wealth even though he already has what no one else has, the power that EM has can do anything to get easy money. They will continue to collect money while there is still a chance, the success achieved will be told to their children and grandchildren as motivation for their generation to follow in their footsteps.

This guy you mentioned had a good business/investment. He should have focused on this business instead of doing politics which he don't know anything about. Here is another example: I see lots of people want to own an online casino but the problem is they don't know anything about it. They don't know how much it would cost, they don't know any coding, they don't know where to host, where to get licences, if they will need any legal assistance, an accountant... They basically know nothing about this business and not only this business I mean they don't know anything about owning any business. Naturally they give up before even they start or they failed shortly after they do.

Money has enslaved society too much. Fortunately, the barter system is now developing. A person can do something useful for another person who can do something useful for that person. You cannot measure everything by money. That's why people gather in communities, where everyone works for the good of society.

You’re quite right. It depends on each person. And yes, there are some people who would feel like they haven’t got enough money in the bank. All that has to do with contentment. A content individual would live a life of happiness on an  average pay while some people choose to acquire more and more money.

All that doesn’t change the fact that a wealthy individual could buy at a whim whatever he/she desires whereas a middle to low income individual definitely cannot afford spontaneous buying.
From the OP,  he mentioned that money is never enough and how hard it is to collect a loan from the bank with a barely adequate degree.
People who are driven by mostly greed or hunger for more accomplishments are the ones who continue to actively strive to make more money.
