To me money isn't that important. Don't get me wrong i like money and do have a job but the thing is greed is so horrible and there are more important things. im not a rich person at all and work hard just to get through and help out my family...i want to know who feels the same? how important is money to you?

i can't deny the fact that money is important especially nowadays when almost nothing is free anymore. the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the house or apartment we're staying, or even the bus or train we take, we need to pay for all of these. and to think they are our basic needs, how much more our wants in life. so if we're talking about surviving in this world, money is indeed important. but in other non-physical aspects of life, such as emotional and spiritual satisfaction, then that's the part where money is the least significant thing.

Yes,you are right,fortune or something like that couldn't be purchased by money.there is a proverb in China:"you couldn't do all the things with money,but you almost couldn't do anything without money."So money is indeed important,but it isn't that important.You should control it,don't let it control you.

I agree with you. I believe money is important so that we and our families can survive, have comfort and do what we need to do. But a small cute home, reliable transportation, decent clothes on my back and reasonable entertainment are enough for me. I'd rather avoid spending every waking hour working and obsessing about money to have the bigger home, hotter car, or more high-end wardrobe, and instead have the time to do what I love doing with the people I love being with. The most important thing money can buy to me is freedom. By that, I mean I would love to be able to save enough money to be able to take a lower-paying, lower-stress job or not work for a while, and still be able to pay my bills while pursuing other dreams (like seeing if I can make a living as a full-time freelance writer!).

I agree that greed is horrible and I wouldn't ever make money an issue in family/friends relationships but the unfortunate fact is that I need money to accomplish a lot of my goals. Traveling abroad, purchasing my own home, etc. I wish it wasn't that way but it is.

To me money is important. It is what allows us to have a roof over our heads and food to feed my family. By having money I have the ability to drive where I want, when I want and buy what I want or need. I have the freedom of choice. Too much money can make a person forget other important things in life just like having too little money does. You start focussing on having money or the lack of it and your life can become unbalanced. The main thing is to keep things in perspective.
