Topic: Money is never enough! - page 14. (Read 1792 times)

Many people are getting into politics because of the money they can embezzle from the government account. I am not surprised seeing a lots of people joining politics because they think that is the only way they can survive and make a lot of money. The little we have is not enough that is why we need to know what we are doing so we don't create enemies for ourselves. Hitting a jackpot is one of the thing that do make some persons proud and they may have forgotten that the money will finish very soon. Money could never be enough that is why we need to always invest our money in something that will give us profits in the future.

A little training at home and a thorough background check will help you spend your money sensibly, regardless of how much you have. Arrogance and pride are two factors that can easily rule you and cause you to spend money frivolously without considering how to double it.

Money is a powerful motivator, and it is a confirmed fact that mankind will continue to pursue it until their last breath on Earth. The only way to be satisfied with what you have is to be content with what you have. Even if you are content, you can still look for money, but not as someone who is simply looking for money and ends up losing their own self respect. Money is everything and it is insufficient; the need for money will last till the person dies. What distinguishes you as a person is how you use and multiply your money.



He simply lacked financial knowledge, which is why he didn't explore for ways to multiply the money but instead spent it thinking he'd reap the benefits later, perhaps by stealing public monies when he gets into power, as all politicians are known for.

Money will never be enough if it continues to be used in any case, because it is human nature to continue to use it where they want and yes, there is no need to be surprised at the president who continues to make money in this world as long as he is still alive. Because when someone is still alive, of course he still needs food, which must be bought with money, so don't be surprised when you see people who still feel a lack of money in their lives, even though they already have a monthly salary through their own work.

The money is not enough you have a big point many people fights for money even if they are already rich that is called greed, humans are greedy, there's a lot of people who are ready to die for money in my country there is a politician die because he fight for the illegal business of the ex politician take note the ex politician is a billionaire why he killed for money when he can have a good option to stop illegal business because he is already billionaire,  so we can say that most of the people are greedy and money is not enough.

It is human nature to want more. No matter how much we say money is not everything but everything is based on money. And that is why we humans have now become the slaves of this money. There are very few people who are satisfied with little. If we see the world's top rich people are not happy with their current position, and they are constantly working to improve the situation.

Is the meaning of life in the constant pursuit of money? If a man has money, he wants more - but why should he want more when he has everything? You can't make all the money in the world. And is becoming a slave to money the purpose of life? If a man ends up in the desert, what will he do with his money? Nothing. But he will understand that money is not the most important thing in life.

I don't agree. Money is always enough, it is human greed and insatiatity that is not enough. The greed to accumulate more resources than you'll ever need that makes money seem like it is not enough.The person described in the story you narrated is just a rookie politician. Because if he is a veteran he'd know that campaigns are not funded from out of pocket. Isn't it?  Presidents of nations fight just like in Sudan not because of money but greed, deep seated evil greed. If it is not greed, then why is a country like Switzerland with all her riches not at war?

What your rather short and condensed story tells me is that you need to diversify your income streams, while identifying potential leaks of your money. Everyone with a business mindset will always be looking for chances at new or improved revenue streams, it feels like he gambled his on the possibility that he could wield power into even more money. That is a very dangerous game, because if he had no charisma, had poor connections or the face simply didn't fit - then he was unlikely to transfer easily into the game of politics. He would have been much better off following and optimizing his original line of business, but then, he may have been bored of that and was looking for a new challenge, but he ultimately failed and wasted a lot of money in the process.

It is true that money is never enough. We humans never sit with the peacefulness what we have, everyone wants to improve their status, and for this they make various efforts. Some are successful and some fail. And its negative aspect is tied to failing with the community person you know. It wouldn't have happened to him unless he was happy with what he had. However, the lesson we should learn from these incidents is that excess greediness is never good.
Most of the time though, we humans don't follow this, and the reason for this reminds me of a saying that people's mouths are never filled unless it's the soil of the grave. Anyway, finally with our learning from these cases, our life should actually be passed in such a way that Simple Living High thinking.

We humans are naturally greedy on which its no surprise that we would really be asking for more than on what we do currently have. We know that if we are financially capabled then we would really be touching

up things like that politics since we are really that aiming for having that power and influence.Yes,it is really that indeed peanuts considering that there are far more lot richer than us but
if you are really that an owner of an oil well then this is something that isnt really anyone could able to attain on how much this guy is owning but same as you said that money sources
cant last up forever and this is why it would really be ideal that you should really know on making use of your money into much wiser way for you to sustain and wont
really be making yourself that poor again.

What happens is very simple, no matter how rich a person becomes they will never generate enough money to buy every single thing the world has to offer, so when thinking about this is obvious that the answer to our problems is often not necessarily to earn more money but to limit our desires, and the example you give is a perfect illustration of this, the person you are referring to was fortunate enough to earn a lot of money, but due to his aspirations to have even more, now he has lost everything.

When the money we get from the jackpot,first we will do of satisfying all the old desire.It may be big or small,mostly big which fulfilled by the huge money from the jackpot.When you do fill the big desire,you will become a poor again.So you can get money from other people after the loss of complete fortune from the jackpot.When the oil dealer uses all money in the politics,he can earn more than the invested money from the politics alone.Incase he lost as though your opinion,then it will leads to poor condition and worst decision in his life time by choosing politics.

Money is power, thus you'd understand that these people with money will always be vying for power the very chance they get. Only thing is that you'd have to be able to know when to stop and when to push through, seems like this guy is onto something, or he's just belligerent enough to think that losing the election once isn't indicative of something. Money doesn't breed pride, it just inflates it. People have inherent pride in them from the moment they grew consciousness in this planet and money just elevates that pride to a whole new level.

I could also say that since there's a threshold to how much money will make you happy, and once you've reached that threshold earning more money wouldn't make you happier anymore I can see these people chasing that high, which then leads them to feats that are so stupid all for the love of money.

The desire to have money and accumulate wealth can vary from person to person. So there are many people who will never feel satisfied with the assets they hold, which leads to the relentless pursuit of more wealth. Even being arrogant and getting a sense of greatness just from material possessions won't be satisfying in the long run. The value of money is not fixed, and currency can fluctuate in value. Even so, there are still a lot of people pursuing it, which is why more and more people are pursuing this nature.

I don't think money breeds pride because there many people that are poor but proud. The richest man in my country is one of the meekest personalities I have ever come across. He lives a modest life than many people that even depend on him to make money. Anybody that becomes proud when he becomes rich has some traces of pride before the money came. If we understand that money comes and goes we will be more humble. There is no need to be arrogant because of money because someone's earns in seconds what you have acquired throughout your lifetime.


Money is not enough for people that are not content with what they have. Based on your story the reason why this man went into politics is not to serve the people but to make more money and show off. He is a greedy folk that is not content with his income from the oil well. This is what happens to people that don't appreciate what they have so they end up losing what they had in the process of chasing what they don't have.


Presidents of a country are not expected to amass wealth while in office. The only reason why they become super rich is because they steal from public funds. So it is not out of place for ex-presidents to go into business or other ventures to make money. It is only in some corrupt countries that past presidents are even richer than most global businessmen because of corruption.

This is true. Money can always satisfy you only upto a certain level after that you only want to reach to the next higher level. When a person doesn't have any money even a little salary is enough for him, but after he starts earning that little salary eventually that'll also not be enough and he'll want more because we humans have that tendency to increase our needs, lifestyle and wants with our increasing salaries.

Well, your story has come with a moral in the end: don't get engaged with politics! Especially if you consider yourself a threat to consolidated structures inside your local society. There will be retaliation later, without any doubts...

We can't say with sure the intentions of your oil dealer friend on his political misadventures, but the chances are that a greedy, unscrupulous individual is more likely to win than to lose, and considering he has lost twice already, the chances are that he isn't on the level of cunning and trickery politics demands from a person.

In your example, you have expressed money is never enough for the oil dealer, but thinking by the other side, he didn't have a spot in politics because money wasn't enough for his adversaries.

Maybe you've heard about lottery winners with jackpots that get up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and some even touch millions of dollars, they become arrogant because they buy whatever they want because they have a lot in their pocket, but in a few years the person is far poor again after do not use their money properly, then money that is never enough is for people who are greedy and can have control over their management.

As for the oil dealer, then it will deal with politics/government whereas for me politics is cruel with every big opportunity he will enter and reap the money, so it's no wonder there will be a power struggle and whoever is tough will win.
I don't know whether the oil source is owned by someone or the government because of political power, this is a struggle.

Owns an oil well you say...!
Are you sure you know what means or entails?
As little as trying to run for politics twice won't be enough to finish the money that could be generated by an individual with a single oil well. Come on, let's be more realistic about that.  Yeah, there would be other constraints to what might get the individual bankrupt but, am not so sure that individual owned an oil well in the first place.

When we refer to money, we've got to understand that it diminishes with time. Money not well spent and by that mean invested would as well diminish. There is a reason why continual earnings is regarded as income. Its supposed to keep coming as you spend. If you aren't getting regular income, then you ought not to spending more.

you need to know that whatever amount of money we have is transitory, the more you have a lot of money, the lifestyle will increase so that you only waste money on things that are not important. but it does not apply to people who can take advantage of opportunities and can control themselves. so when you have a lot of money. the first is to immediately lend your money so that your money is still there. Second, immediately invest your money to keep your money and increase the wealth you have. third, immediately try to start your business so you can learn to manage money and even if you lose you will get expensive experience, so that later when you start another business it will be better because there has been an evaluation of the previous business so you don't experience losses.

and the man who runs the oil industry fails to take advantage of the opportunities that come his way and cannot organize and manage what he gets.
