Well, it depends on what we want in life, actually. All I can say is YES money is important. You know, money is not everything but every thing needs money these days. But of course we should not value money above the rest. There are still many far more important things than money. Love, family, friendship are among those more important things than money in my opinion. Don't you agree?

when I was younger and more naive I used to think its not all about the money. Then, a friend of mine told me that the only people that say that money is not important are people who don't have any money. As I've become a parent I have realized that money is significant. U can't live without out. There's not a whole lot that u can do without it, especially in this country. A lot of problems that people face can be solved with some dollar bills. In fact, I'll say most problems can be. When u think about health insurance and medical care, money makes the difference between one person dying and another living - with the same sickness. So, yeah, money really is that important. But, so aren't a lot of other things.

I think it would be very important to people like me who have to eat and who have no money. I would think it is supremely important. To someone who is wealthy, it would no be as important. Cheers!

Money is very important nowadays. We live in a very materialistic world and every step we make involves money.

You can have a try that you can live in the world without money for 6 days . I think that you can unstand the importance of money ! But I consider that the most importance is a good health , without good health , we can't earn money ,even we can't live in the world . Without a good health , if you have a lot of money , you won't be happy !

For me making money is only important in that my goal is to achieve financial freedom, which for me does not mean being mega rich. The desire to make more and more money till I am mega rich is not something that I aspire to as a long term plan as it becomes an addiction. But for now making money is important or else I won't achieve my goal. But here is the twist. Once I have managed to reach financial freedom will I give up on making money. Not for a second. I may slow down my endeavours and enjoy my freedom but I plan to use my knowledge of making money to allow me to be charitable with the extra money I make.
