Topic: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? - page 6. (Read 3776 times)

I don't think it is that way. For instance, we have people of ye olde who toil their asses off in the field for a master that pays them peanuts. They were born into this and had unfortunately died under this imaginary class system, while their masters steadily grew richer and richer, so much so that they were able to hold their family's status even up to this day. Back then it doesn't matter how skilled you are, and even in a capitalist society that isn't the case. The only difference from then and now is the idea that money is much more valuable back then fhan it is now, and stuff is cheaper. Which is why they were able to buy stuff like real estate on jobs that nowadays wouldn't even have you survive in a month
 

Money is truly a motivating factor and even without been told, we should know that money answereth all things.
I strongly agree with you on the things you've said about money because I've seen situations where money allowed money get into their heads and making them misuse the money and this situation is mostly associated with free money(money gotten without effort).
One thing is to have money and the other thing is to let the money get into your head and one of the reasons why people allow money get into their head is the is to meet up unnecessary competition.

Money is good but when not used wisely, it becomes a wrong tool.

where I live there is a saying "Don't be lazy in bed unless you can make money in bed". I think money is definitely a motivating factor for many people.
money is not everything but money makes everything easier. because of money I have to fight, it's sad that I can't help my parents or siblings because of money problems.

the biggest target in my life is to have a lot of money so I can be a generous person, hopefully my life can be useful for others.

Follow the money if you want to be wealthy; if you want to change the world, follow your passion. This is how I see the world.
You already know that pursuing your passion will ultimately lead to financial success, mental tranquility, and fulfillment.
Most often, following the money results in anxiety, stress, and depression. Because the person is more concerned with their money account balance, etc., rather than with slowing down and enjoying life.
His interactions with his family and friends will be impacted. Due of their lack of family time, wealthy, workaholic individuals frequently get divorced. They continue to work even while they are at home.

after a lot of thinking and consideration - I have realized one thing
One should not accumulated much - one should have a decent living and have some emergency fund. And that is it. Living and enjoying life should be the main aim of the person.

if you ever get a chance to spend an hour on road side with out money and you are starving - we would realize how motivating the money is! But having said - I must mention my thought - one should not spend so much time in saving up for the other people or for their kids. I have seen children moving abroad and the parents property become the bone of contention for the other

Money can motivate you, demoralized you and also encourage you as long as you desired seing the consequences through handling money, we must not let money control our emotions, behaviors lest we ride on others or step on their toes, money creates value, but we need to position this value to our good advantage and this will make us to utilize it the proper way, money is not the root of all evil, but we humans.

if you leave home once without your purse - you will realize that how had it is to survive for a second.
Money truly is the motivating factor - without money there is no life. For sure. Unless you live in a jungle.

It depends on how you manage money, money is not evil and misguided, those who have real money are perverted and evil.

Maybe you've heard that money can do whatever you want to do, that's true, while you can manage money, not the other way around money governs you, everything human determines if you talk about money, many in this world do the opposite and can cause chaos, country, household, friends and so on.

Likewise with investing or trading, whether it's related to crypto or other things that are real world, don't ever do stupid things with the money you have, thus you are smarter than money.

Indeed, we will need money for most things we are living daily. And we also need money for whatever we expect for the future. Related to the motivating factor, indeed, money is the motivation. Probably the motivating factor is what I need for life daily and also what I hope for the future, but to realize it, we always need money. Today, money also becomes one of the decisive thoughts of someone being successful or not, being honored by others or not, and sadly this becomes the difference between the economic society levels in society. We cannot deny that people with much more money will be more honored than less. This is ironic but this is what commonly happens in this life (although not all people like this, it's almost)

I once forgot to bring my wallet even when I was treating my family. I was very panicked because I couldn't possibly get my parents to pay for it. It's very lucky if this restaurant also accepts payments through online wallets or mbanking so I can make transfers. Nowadays money is not only cash or cards but also digital money and this is very helpful. What if later cryptocurrency becomes commonplace for transactions and is legal here, this will make it easier right?

that is so true and when people don't have money and they have debt over their head they become desperate
But I have also notice there to well to do person who get desperate for money although they are not poor - they are lazy and curel to get other people's money
I met three losers in my life. I remember how they got money from me for their desperation

You wont survive on daily living if you dont have the money which is given or already an automatic thing because it would really be just common sense that you arent living for free or you could acquire things for free.

This is why people are really that desperate on taking up lots of different income sources just to make themselves that able to survive and the rest would really be pertaining on buying up their wants aside from needs
which is already a different thing compared to other people.This is why we should really be wise on taking up some decisions specially on investment.
We do need to take up risks to earn something because if you wont make a move then you wont really progress.

Once I forgot my purse at home - its has all the cards and cash in it. I was there without even a single penny that day I realized how it feels to live without money
I felt so helpless that I was unable get food for $2 - I rushed home quickly and thanked God. Money obviously is the most important factor in one's life. 

Money move the world - but after COVID I realized there is another very important thing which is health.
I worked hard but I did not compromised on my health. Many of my friends very ill - that they were unable to move. So money is motivating factor but so is health.
Take care of both ...

I don't know if I am the only one - who feels depressed when there is limited money in my bank account.
I feel sad too. And when I get money - I feel so happy and satisfied that I have no words to explain my feeling of joy. For me it is definitely a motivating factor and without money - my life is so gloomy

one should have money - where everyone should be spending good and luxurious life. one should not be accumulating for the future because tomorrow never comes.
But then again - Money gives you happiness and joy. and that is it.

Money is the tool of a system that people set up and consent to in order to get everything we need and store our savings. But money has ceased to be a tool and has become the object of wishes and desires. Due to the unlimited purchasing power of money, people have not been happy to meet only their basic needs and have pushed their possibilities with the effect of their desires. Having enough money to have food and shelter did not make people happy. As a result, people who are overly fond of money have emerged. Jean-Jacques Rousseau “The money we have is our freedom; the money we are chasing is the instrument of slavery.” he said. He perfectly summed up the bond that humanity has established with life through money. In summary, money is a tool as the primary object of the end, an end for the person who wants to gain power by owning the resources.

money is the motivating factor for sure - I have seen people getting depressed when they dont have money
and people very happy when their account is full. So without money there is no happiness

Money answer all things; without money we would not be able to take care of our basic needs, which are food, clothing, and shelter. And also money is mostly just the fuel for better, more exiting ventures.
At least for most people. Some are just greedy like that. When you get a lot of money, you want more. It's an addiction. If it's the main motivating factor for you, take a close look at yourself.

In this case I agree with what you say, because it is very clear that human nature will show how authentic it is when he doesn't have a penny. And one more thing is that every motivation and driving force is also very clear because of money, so that everyone's standard of success is also seen through the amount of money he already has in his life by other people.

The main factor is to have a job that makes money, so that each person will not feel sad and sick because he has better expectations of that job. And I think the motivator for everyone to work continuously is money, nothing else. Because many problems can be solved when someone already has a lot of money in his life.

As I said above, that money can solve more problems in life. So it is not surprising that more people come to the homes of the rich when there is a disaster, especially if the rich person is a person who is always generous in social life. It is certain that the rich man is a person who is always seen by many people in his life environment.

Expecting inheritance from our own parents is not wrong, and even then if our parents are rich people. But if our parents are poor, what inheritance can we expect from them?
In working to make money there must be sacrificed, one of which is time. Because time is the initial capital besides health and skills needed at work. That's why not a few people are looking for skills so they can work better by saving more time and being able to maintain their health while looking for money.
