In my opinion, money is a way to survive and get everything you need or want. Most people would rely on consequences of how money should be handled. Some people would say that they love money because it is their way of life. Money is actually a trade to help everyone with circumstances that would include bills, merchandises, etc. To love money is a root of evil. Money should not be a greed, it should be a need.

I have to agree with the girl who says money is life. Without money you wouldn't have much of a life, now would you? How would you pay rent or a mortgage, how would you feed yourself, how would you even get to work to make money to live? So to me money means a lot. It means a quality of life that makes life worth living, whatever that quality of life for each person is, is up to each person, but I like a good life. Without money I couldn't have bought a new car two weeks ago. A new car for means independance and freedom. I hadn't had a car for three years so I felt really tied down and felt I didn't have my freedom. Now I can do more of the things I like, like go hiking in the mountains. I couldn't do that before when I didn't have a car. So it all depends on your life style and expentancies you have of life whether money is important to you or not. Have a good day, your friend Chris

we need money to buy for food clothing, medicines and all our basic necessities in order for us to live. Money is important for us to be able to go to school. I have to be practical that, We can't live without money, that's why we work for money.

You are completely correct here. The basic needs require money to be fulfilled. Living will be very difficult without money.

Money is good.... but it's not everything in my opinion. Money can only buy you experiences, but not all experiences. So it's just nice to have, but not key to life. =)

To many people money is very important. For those who have lots of money it is not that important. But for those who is working hard for the family, for himself, for his love ones money is the key to all.

Money to me is annoying. It causes me grief when I have it and more when I don't. Money is as important to me as my way of living forces it to be. Have to have it, even if I really don't want it. Seems to be the only game in town, if I want to keep a roof over my head and indoor plumping, ect. Yes, it's life, and it's a hell.

Hi hushi! That is one shallow girl! I hope that she changes her attitude because that is one lousy way to go through life thinking! And if she keeps that up she will never make friends and probably will find alot of enemies! I think it is good to be honest and lay your cards on the table, so to speak! It is good that she is a go-getter and if she feels that responding to that question the way she did will get her far, she will probably find out the hard way! Money can only do so much! You also have to have a brain and heart and know how to use them!

when you have two children a partner a pet a house a car, bills, loans etc... then i agree with your friend money is life...i wish that wasn't the case but that is the way society has made people everything is about money, if you dont have money u cant buy your family food, clean water, medical supplies etc...go to a third world country and they will tell you that money is life, its wrong money should not exist, man should co-exist together working together, everything should be free but that is an ideals world, our world is much much crueler, i wish money didn exust but it does, i never have much of it but one day i hope that will change, id like to start my own business and provide for my family, id like to earn enough money to go to third world countries to help them build shelters for their families, to help provide them with clean drinking water and the medical supplies they need. Look at all these famous people that have millions or billions... you don't see them going and helping those in need, giving money to charity is one thing but taking your money and going and helping yourself is another, one day i hope to achieve this. I Hope to open an online business in the future and if all goes well (but ebay are thieves), ill be getting my hands dirty and spending my own money helping these poor men,women and children.

Unfortunately, money is very important these days. For us to have a quality living we need to spend. But money is not the end all of everything.

I came across a fabulous saying: Having lots of money only takes the strain of having NO money, off you...or something like that. And for me its true: Having money will really take the everyday worry off my shoulders. I wont neccesarily spend a huge amount, but imagine the luxury of not having to worry about where the money will come from to fix your brakes, your car, your teeth, your hair, whatever! The luxury of being able to buy something beautiful for your home, or yourself. Having enough money to go on a nice vacation with your family? Just money to make life more comfy. That is my aim: To live a comfortable life, not a life of excess that money can buy.

Yes, I wouldsay that money is important to feed, clothe and house us, but it is certainly not "life". I often find great pleasure in walking through the countryside and along the sea cliffs that are close by. That doesn't take any money to do whatsoever. I have noticed also, how stressed and worried very rich people can become when obsession about money takes over their life. Money is meant to serve us, not rule us. Its rewards are transient, as there is always something better to buy etc. _Derek

I agree with the girl and take no offense. While it is true what they say that money can't buy everything or others who say money can't buy happiness, you can't ignore the fact that without money, you won't be able to survive. We need money to use transportation (either public or buying a vehicle, aside from bikes, you also need gas), we need it to buy food from markets, we need it to pay for bills, water and electricity. Unless you were lucky enough to own a house you got from your parents, you may need money for rent and/or mortgage. we also need money to have fun. Hanging out with friends is all well and good but it gets lame if that's all you can do, you need cash for cinemas, to get those books you want, eating out with mates, vid games and DVDs. You need it for music. So while, money can't buy you happiness, it can buy you many things that make you happy. If you don't have money, you can do hardly anything and for a majority of people, that would not be enjoyable.

Money is important. We need it to buy the things that we need in our lives. I don't want money to rule my life though. Family, friends, and happiness are more important to me than any amount of money.

As a whole, money is so important to us life. Have a nice day!

Had the same reaction way back then. But came to realize that to be able to live in this material world, one needs money. Since it's our only way to get what we need to survive.
