Money is an important thing in every body's life. Without money you can't do any thing. God or bad, to implement that money is inevitable. At least to help some needy people, there should be money with us.I have seen many people without having proper cloths, food, medicines etc. They don't have money to acquire all these things. If we are having enough money, we can give them and help them.So money is good, not bad.

Money won't buy you love or happiness but it helps. I think money it's not evil if you know how to use it and you're not a slave of the money you want to earn

I think money is important to have a good health. Only with money we may have a goo nutrition, a good place to live and clothes to wear, when we are sick we need money to buy medicines.....So money helps to be in good health so that we can work to gain it and spend a sond life.....bye have a nice day.

Hi velentina, Yes money is important, but it is not everything. I think the reason you hear so much about money today is because so many are struggling, everything is sky high, and getting higher, the dollar isn't what it use yo be, that's evil. I go to the store to buy food, and the prices are shocking, I am 60 years old and never seen times as tough as they are now. popciclecold

Money is not the source of all evil, money is just a result. The people doing the evil things are the bad one. We need money, how can we buy food we exchange our money for purchase. HOw can we buy our clothes , the things that we needed like medicine and shelter. Money is important. Money earned by those person that got it illegally are still money. How much money will be needed by a person to be stable or wealthy it depends on their lifestyle and demands.

It's important but it's not the most important thing. I know a lot of people who just make themselves miserable for money they don't even get to enjoy. They just hoard it like misers. What's the point of that? I'm poor and, yes I would like more money, but the world is not going to end if I don't get it. If money is the most important thing in your life, you seriously need to re-evaluate your priorities. Otherwise, you'll become a miserable old cranky person who no one wants to be around. That's not the kind of life I want.

yes it is but it feels less important than it use to as happiness and enjoying the moment means more to me now.

Yes money is important to be able to pay bills and buy food. If you do not have money than you can not provide for your family. I think it would be night to have enough money to pay all money bills and food and then have lots left over so you can help other family members or friends that may needs help with there bills.

One should make money work for him and should not be enslaved by it. We should focus on the important things in life. We should not make it the end all and be all of our lives.

Money is very important. Without money you wont be able to buy all the things you need. Here on earth, you will not survive without it, that is why others are killing and hurting each other for that. All movements involve money. Whatever you do, whatever you need, money is the answer. The desire to earn lots money is not bad but when you treat the money as your LORD and make it the center of your life, then that is the time money becomes evil because it make a person evil. Money cant buy happiness but without money we cannot survive. Money earned in illegal way is worthless because his inner self is burning with guilt and hatred. Yes he will benefit a lot but inside he is still empty. Illegaly earned money is bad luck and will never give a person contentment and peacefulness.

Yes, I think it's very important, everybody needs money for everything.. life is so hard when you don't have enough money :( when u dont have enough money you have to work a little bit more and harder in order to have it, it can cause a lot of stress when you need money, you are always trying to figure it out how your going to do to pay your bills.. I wish I had a little bit more money.. not for spending on material stuffs.. just for paying the things I really need for surviving and living without worries :)

i think that money is importat in life, but not essencial to be happy, money on't make happyness, it's true. i'm not rich but i'm very very happy now. money is only an invection of man, in this way who have much money then others can rule and command. money is also important to live, without them you will die. so to live money is important, very important, but not necessary, 10.000 years ago we didn't have money.

I would be hypocrite if I will say that money is not important in my life. We cannot live without money because almost everything cost something. there may be some things which you can get for free but most of the things that you need are sold for a price. Money becomes evil only if you use it for something illegal or for evil motives.

To fulfill your materialistic needs money is very much needed in life. You can get almost everything if you have money. But there are few things you can never get from money, like Life, true Love, true friends, happiness, peace. At the end of the day money is not everything.

Money is not evil but the love of money is the root of all evil says the Bible.We need money on our day-to-day activities.Money is a defence but lack of it is an offence.Love of money breeds evil if we are too greedy to spend it to benefit human kind and we just want to emass more and more without using it for an humanitarian purpose.

HI! For me money is everything. Its the source of good and evil.Though many said that one couldn't live happy with all the money in this world, money makes our lives much easier to live day by day.Practically people need money.With money one can have his rights as a human being intact and well protected.And can live a life of his choice.
