Money is meant to follow you, while you are meant to follow value. Create value, solve problems, and do it well, you'll attract people to follow you; remember, money follows people with value.
What's your take on this?
Money is definitely a motivator if you want to live comfortably. As our world depends totally on money for achieving a comfortable life or at least meeting your obligations, earning should be one of your main goals if you truly want to experience a hassle-free life. But there lies a difference between rich and being satisfied. A person may be rich but he may feel empty on the inside especially if they have no friends, etc.
The way to deal with this is to balance a healthy lifestyle with your peers and earning money. While the latter should be one of your main focuses, you should not totally discredit other means as this will keep you active in other aspects of your life.
I don’t think our world depends totally on money for achieving a comfortable lifestyle like you say. What you would define to be a comfortable life would differ from the next person.
If you want to truly want to experience a hassle free life, search for inner peace within yourself and then get the money as money is obviously important. Only then would you lead a hassle free life. There are people who are happy and satisfied with the little they’ve got and do not need money to “live comfortably” as they’re comfortable with their way of life.
I think what he said was quite harsh, but I will agree that it is true. Nowadays, our world is entirely dependent on money, without money you will never be able to live comfortably in a world where money is used as a measure everywhere.
It is often said that money cannot buy peace or happiness, but I think that is no longer true today. I firmly believe that you will not be able to get a wife without money, nor will your marriage be happy without money. And without money, you cannot find a peaceful place in this world.
