Money is essential. Money is good. Money keeps us working so hard all day. But money doesn't give us the full happiness that we want. But money is still important. I have been thinking of earning money a lot but my health can't do that. I can't work for a long time for I need some rest time. I need to earn more money for my goals. i want a house. I want a car. I want to go shopping. Oh my.there are so many things I want to do with my life. But I just can't make it happen because of my family situation. I have a niece, a nephew and a sister to feed. Money. I need you. I can't have a vacation without you. I need extra money for myself. Money is power.

Hi Tess, I worry about money too. The more I worry, the more it evades me, I feel. These past few years have been tough for me, and I believe it may get tougher. It'd very difficult to see myself living a good life during my retirement. I'm still thinking how to get around to supplement my retirement income. But I guess I have to do this slowly but surely. A little bit of planning, take action and a lot of monitoring to achieve financial goals you want.

Just curious, how come the brunt of the responsibility for your niece and nephew falls on you? How come your sister is not doing that herself?

Hi..that's what I feel..the more I worry the more I feel stress. LOL! I need to stop thinking about the future too much because it makes me weak. I know that my salary is not sufficent enough and I don't only worry for myself but also for my nieces. Gosh, I feel like I am already married. I'm thinking of retirement as well. A good insurance and everything. I am beginning to fear that I might be able to have a good life later. Ah, I just need to focus on my goals and be happy for what I have now.

Hello Tess, If we focus too much on money you become greedy and doesn't realize how happy you can be. I wish that one day money won't be the driving force of ourlives and instead focus on their dream and helping other people achieve theirs. money has made a lot of people selfish all over the other.

Right money is one of the sources of powers...without money we can't move. Though if we have enough we must remain humble and generous. Too much money is no longer good if we become proud and selfish or we forget God already as we are busy on dealing with so many things as we have enough money.

We all need money. Money is so vital that may I label it as good instrument to keep almost every thing rolling. That's why I always put in mind that I should treat money as a power to secure our needs and wants - to be healthy and satisfied. That having too much money can give too much power that can be abused, they can be so tempting, to do whatever it takes even at the expense of innocent ones. Right now, I'm working hard to earn money but I doing my best to find time to rest and sleep though. Health is still wealth. It is really too expensive to get sick nowadays

I agree with you, money is a powerful thing, it has even been called the root of all evil. Money pays for things that we need and want, but what it cannot buy is even more powerful. We work hard to have money to pay the bills and then after we pay them, we wonder why there is so little left. While you are earning money, don't forget to take time to remember those wonderful, priceless things. A loving family and their smiles. Take care of yourself and don't work too hard.

Hey girl,why can't your sister work more hours? Do you have any creative skills? Maybe you could sign up on my link with Inbox Dollars. They give you 5bucks just for signing up, and extra money for every friend referral.

Ye, that's true that money is very important. It is very hard to find money right now especially that you are feeding too many people.. Maybe someday you can save a little bit and you can enjoy yourself.

craving for more money isn't that evil since everything we do on earth involves money.it's just that it must be for the positive side.we all just have to have control over it.here are some things that we need to note. Understand your money habits.Set motivating and realistic goals.Reduce and control spending.Start a consistent savings plan.Build sustainable wealth.Put together your own personal investment plan.Understand your investing habits, where you are in the investing cycle and what to do next. Implement the right money management system that supports you and your lifestyle. hope these help.

Absolutely true. I can feel your condition very well because so is mine also. How cruel but the hard truth I have ever faced in my life.

It really depends on the person. Some people may say that money is the greatest thing of all time, while others my say that it's one of the worst because it influences people to do irrational things to get things.. (in this case) like power. I haven't experienced much bitterness in my life, so I don't suppose I have a strong enough opinion to support myself when I say that money is essentially useless. In the end, money stops people from doing selfless tasks; It makes us cold-hearted beings, while makes us have the mindset that you "need" to purchase that (Television Set, that New Apple Iphone, that new Ferrari/whatnot.) I think money isn't power.. it's a combined process of personality, morality, and intelligence that makes us powerful.
