Topic: Money is never enough! - page 12. (Read 1719 times)

Money isn't everything, but everything needs money, that's a word I hear a lot now. Yes, how could it not be, all things nowadays require money, even one of the words I've ever heard says, even when we urinate, we have to use money. But the problem is, when we really need money at the same time it's very difficult for us to get it, that's what makes us confused about this.
Sometimes someone who has an income every month can still meet their needs, and that's a lot of people who experience it.
Humans are creatures that will never have enough of something, moreover what we are talking about here is money that will quickly run out if we are not good at managing it.

That's why need to clearly understand how much money you need / what level of income you want, otherwise, in the eternal pursuit of money, you will miss your whole life. Also, it is important to properly distribute and spend this money, and not like the guy with the oil well. The amount of money that everyone can earn in their lifetime is limited (everyone has their own level) and therefore unprofitable spending / risky investments can leave you with an empty pocket. I understand why the guy with the oil well tried to fight for a place in politics (to make even more money there, of course), but as happened in your story, these attempts failed. So, need to carefully assess the risks and invest your money with more caution.

Actually, it depends on each person, there are some who always feel inadequate with what they get. The key is to be grateful for what we get, in my opinion being rich or poor doesn't really affect the problem of whether or not a need is sufficient, because if they understand then they will know how to use it. Often they always complain and feel they are not enough for the money they have received, as if money is like the wind that just comes and goes.

If someone often feels that their finances are always insufficient, does the solution have to be rich? Maybe some people will agree with that statement. But here I have a different opinion on this matter. In my opinion, wealth can never solve a person's problem, but it is the mind that can solve the problem. You can see many rich people who end their lives by committing suicide. However, the human brain is often controlled by its own emotions, the desire to be able to have something that is beyond its capabilities, always wanting to have what other people have, so that the feeling of not feeling enough always haunts it. Needs and desires are very different, but many people are always looking for reasons just to look stylish. And finally, in my opinion, being grateful for what we have is one of the best answers.

Your answer has nothing to do with what the OP wanted to tell us. What he is talking about is human greed, he is not talking about investing to increase wealth, and even if you make money from investing in bitcoin, you will never feel enough because our greed has no bottom. We will always want to earn more than we have, and it is human nature to be greedy, it exists in all of us. If someone says they don't need a lot of money, they're lying because they can't think of a way to make a lot of money.

Actually man cannot say that now this money is enough for him but he will desires to get more and more because the desires of a human never ends. The people lost their money because they don't have any planning that how to use such a big amount of money when they loss they regret to make some investment to save their money and also this investment will be a cause of their profit.

Having money is not important but having the ability to use that money in proper way is important and talking with my experience those people who make the better use of money and set some business for themselves are always successful and those who don't have mind about saving regret after spending large sum of money.

Of course money isn't enough to get whatever you need. But for some folks, there is enough money to buy whatever. So I would take it that you're talking from a perspective from people that's middle to lower class. For those folks, money isn't enough.
Asides, a characteristic of money is scarcity. Money needs to be scarce to some extent so as to retain its value and purchasing power. Middle to low income earners would then have to work harder in their present job and also seek other sources of income to help out with expenses.

Be careful not to fall into Kahneman's "theory-induced blindness":


Think that Maslow's hierarchy of needs may not be universal. Franciscans and other mendicant friars, for instance, leave the satisfaction of the lowest levels of needs to the end. I guess that Maslow's only right in a capitalist economic model, and even there some people are free to change the hierarchy, or at least find a more original way of self-actualisation than Power.

You need to study Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to understand the motivations for human behavior. Money are at the bottom of that model and at the top you will get self-actualization. Once you achieved the lower level of needs (money gives you food and water and security) .. then you strive to achieve the higher levels of needs.

The oil tycoon achieved the lower levels of his needs and to get power as a politician, was simply the next step in the evolution of humans. (Money and Power goes hand in hand) 

Broadly speaking in the world that Money is everything and with Money we will have everything we need and it's no wonder those who live in a thirsty world looking for money everywhere, but to be honest when Money can control someone I think from here they will slowly be destroyed by money, like the story of your friend who tried to join in politics and caused the oil wells he owned to almost run dry because of his financing to participate in politics, and the result was a failure.

People who feel thirsty and greedy for money, we think they will always fail in their lives, take the example of those who always have enough control over their finances, even though the strength is relatively low compared to other entrepreneurs, but the example here is the management of their finances which the orderly, and I think they will always have enough of that.

Everyone has a different point of view, sometimes they already occupy positions above with relatively high income but what they want is more, they will compete to want more, because the bigger the position, the bigger the need because sometimes people never feel enough, and give birth that money is never enough, and this does not apply to those who are wise in managing their finances.

All the sins you mentioned are not caused by money, the root of everything is human greed, selfishness, absolutely not money's fault. Money is just a product that we create to serve us, but we also make it into something we have to run after and obey, but in the end, the manipulator behind everything is our greed.



I believe everyone, including you and I are aware of this. But we can't do that because no money in this day and age affects not only you but also the lives of your loved ones. So you can't stop making money and always treat it as everything because when you have money, you will have it all.

Money can never be enough because the price of things keep rising, inflation keeps making the money you have saved lose value that's why it's better to invest your more in assets like Bitcoin that'll increase the value of your money than saving or investing with banks that don't give you good profits instead make you lose money with their service changes.

Money is never enough that's why you need to learn a skills that can help you with your current job to get a better pay or help you later in life when you don't have a salary job. Also the skills can help you earn more as a side hustle so you have enough money to take care of bills.

There are several differences in the perspectives of the poor and the rich regarding the income they earn. Let's say poor people get a Jackpot where they will spend on items they have never bought as a form of fulfilling their ambitions while still poor. But if the jackpot goes to the rich with enough fulfillment, they can either spend it or turn it into a source of investment because the rich know better how to expand their funding.

Money is never enough? Of course money is pretty hot, the more money you have, the more you want to own something. The greater the income, the greater the expenses. No wonder why you say the money you have can never be enough to fulfill someone's ambition. However, just like your friend who has sufficient finances and oil resources, if he is unable to manage them, he will be confused. Even though he claimed to be pro-market in the oil industry. doesn't that sound weird?

There is another good sentence like: "Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile". I think it is the perfect complement to your sentence.

Back to the OP, if one doesn't tame his greed with the help of love (love from others and towards others), is it worth living? The owner of the well: wouldn't he be happier if he had invested his money in businesses with a positive impact on society, or his family, than in his failed political campaign?

To me, there is a point where money is enough, but that's not the way we are educated in West countries.

Because money is power. People go into politics to gain connections and establish their name to gain more power. And politics is also money. They spend a lot of funds on election campaigns as their investments. They spend on ads, people who'll campaign for them, etc so that their name can be recognized and heard by a lot of people. Because once they win, they can get back the amount they spend on the campaign, and can even gain more profit from it. Also, even if you have your own business, there are more money in politics because it's the public's fund. That's why you can see that even the rich families who have their stable businesses will still try entering politics because of connections, money, and power.

This caption can go in many contexts as money is never enough can be taken in contentment side thankyou are never satisfied with the money you have you always want to make more and more money those desires are endless and limitless. This greed and urge to get more sometimes leads you to wrong directions.

For this reason, it is necessary to have fund management by allocating it to various sources of income. So, from the profit from oil, we process it into new businesses, such as investing in gas, coal, or gold. Everything should be expanded in order to avoid incidents like this. For example, Saudi Arabia, which is currently depleting its oil reserves, is starting to look for other alternatives in order to maintain the country's position as an oil-rich country. Building luxury hotel facilities for real estate investment. Expanding into the overseas business sector and having bilateral relations with several Western countries such as Russia, China, the US, and India. It's not a matter of whether money is limited or not, but depending on one flow of funds it seems as if money is limited. The government can print more money at the rate of inflation if you are willing to continue to act as a money launderer.

You use money to make more money, that's why we have to spend less and investment most of the money we make, this is the only way to be in good shape for the future, and instead of mocking the man OP you should learn from him, because what happened to him can happen to anybody.

I used the word mocking because you made it sound that way, if a man finds a way out of poverty he will change, the way he talks and compose himself will change, and many people who knew him before will believe he is now showing himself off.

You need to check yourself very well, put yourself in his shoe, the moment you are able to get into a stage that many people are struggling to get to, you are have automatically become a target of hate and envy.

He wants to grow higher, and we all know how richer one can get if they are into politics, and now that he failed, do not laugh yet, because he now has more knowledge from the experience, if he is strong, he will make a bigger come back.

It all depends on the person, for some an oil well is not enough, but for some a good job will be enough. Maybe it's about ambition, I don't know, I doubt very much that I would ever want to become a politician. There is an opinion that when a person has a lot of money, he strives for power.

An oil well could definitely help fulfill any desire, and it was also possible to diversify this source of income into others, like real estate, and thus secure a comfortable life. Money is not the main thing in life, and I do not agree that money is constantly lacking, you can find a balance in which you can feel comfortable.

More precisely, it's not the money that's never enough, but the lust and desire that never has enough. Everyone in this world I believe the majority would want money and are working to get money. This action is very good, because you are definitely willing to work to be able to cover the needs of yourself and your family. But what is unnatural and seen to be controlled by money and especially by their passions, there are many people who are crazy about getting money, even though the money they have is more than enough, you could even say it is enough for seven generations. But I can't blame people like that, because it's their right and maybe it's a hobby they like. But from the point of view that I understand and understand, such things are indeed too exaggerated and too greedy.

So in conclusion, don't want to be driven and controlled by lust and money, but we as humans, on the other hand, must be able to drive and control these two things.

Having 1 million in our hands is not enough if we are greedy people and aiming more is literally what is on their minds. Contentment is somewhat missing if you believe yourselves that you can earn more and this is what happens to the person that you have talked about OP. And this can possibly happen to anyone who is never satisfied or never find themselves contentment. And it was hard for them to find happiness when deep inside they feel emptiness and greediness.
