If you have money you can buy every thing, everything in this world, even health, because you can have better health, get treated if you are sick. if you have money you get more love, you love others, elders, children loved once etc, you need money to buy them gifts or something, you need money to please them too. you need money to keep yourself with good food, too you need money to help others too, to please even god. without money you cannot even show an act of kindness these days. without money you are lost, not loved, ill sick and likes to rob feel like having something but cannot buy become jealousy greedy and angry and become a bad person too. YES OR NO IF NO HOW ?

It is said that money cannot buy you happiness, however it can make your misery a lot of comfortable. We could all do with more money, right now I need every penny I can find as I have lost my job. Money, used properly can bring great benefits to many people, if I had a lot of money I would be able to help a lot of people. But money cannot buy you friends, cannot buy you true happiness, cannot buy you a kind and loving heart

There are a lot of things that money can't buy in this world. I will give you some here. 1. happiness 2. life 3. a child 4. love 5. trust I can go on but it would be a very long list that money can't buy. Therefore, even if you have all the money in the world, you still can't have everything.

Wrong. Even if you have a huge amount of money you still don't have everything.. Money cannot buy real love, the kind 'love' that money buys is fake and will not last a second if the money is gone. Yes money is essential for a person to live, to buy food, medicine, pay for the bills but a person's life should not revolve around money alone. I know one rich person who have lots of money to pay for his hospital bills but he only lived after 1 week of being confined in the hospital, his millions cannot save him because his liver failed due to different kinds of medicine given by the hospital. Still think that money is everything?

what is love, when you love your children but cant afford to give them good education, to give good education you need money ? what is love when your mother is dying of cancer and need money to treat her.... you said the rich man lived only one week, but thats a different part as long has he lived he did not worry that he did not have money for treatment. I am not saying money can save your life and make you everlasting.

Well I would agree with you up to a point but money cannot always buy our health at all with some of the diseases in the world today. You can try to have better health but money cannot give you good health, yes you can have more love but how do you know that this is real love as real love does not mean you can buy love sorry, I disagree with what you have said here. But you can buy almost everything with money but not everything. As I know many people in my country that are millionaires but still have problems due to the above.

According to me, there are two kinds of life we live. 1. Work/Business/Proffessional Life 2. Personal Life Money is everything only as far as our first kind if life is concerned. But we should also have a good Personal life, which is definitely beautified by money to some extent but not totally. If you dont have a sound personal life, you dont have the potential & motivation to work to the quality & quantity that you can. You will be very much depressed at times. It is very much difficult to work in such hard times. If you have support from your lifepartner in your hardtimes you will be able to fight this hard time quickly and much easily than in the other case. Money does cure your ill health, buy gifts to show your family your love, give chance to travel the world like you want, have good food, help others, be polite, be mentally fit etc. You do need money for all these. Yet money cannot buy you LOVE. I have seen men who ruin thier personal lives in earning money. These men work about 18-22 Hours in a day. They do not give any time to thier wife because thier wife's love is something small to them as compared to money. But these very little things mean much to thier wife. That is all that women want from men. Here's a example what happens when men dont give time thier wife: I read a autobiography of one of the richest men of the world. RICHARD BRANSON, Chairman of VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRLINES His first wife, Kristen, left him. He used to work more than 16 hours. Even the rest hours when he was home he used to attend his phone calls which constantly kept ringing. May be, I am a kid to discuss these topic to many other people. But the man, RICHARD BRANSON, himselfs admits today that his first wife, Kristen, was right to resist him from attending the phone calls. You should draw a good line for balance between your work and love. If you run after money getting crazy, you may have only money but not anyone to love you. The worst hit class in such cases are thier children who dont get love from either mother or father. They become aimless. They dont understand the difference between good and bad, right and wrong etc. Money is important to everyone as it beatifies your life, but money is not everything.....

Equating love and money is a habit we often pick up from our families. Rather than saying "I love you" or spending time showing it, parents indulge their children with material gifts as a way of demonstrating or compensating for affection. When these kids become adults, they can feel unloved unless they are being given something. Money can be a hot-button issue for women because it's intertwined with the concept of caretaking. "You could take two independent, capable people, but when you put them in a relationship, their expectations around money change. Self-worth issues easily become magnified in relationships--and the lower the self-esteem, the higher the need or expectation.

Money can buy materialistic things. Yes money will help you to be charitable and help you get good medication. But money cannot buy peace of mind, happiness, selfless love. A person who loves you for money will ditch you the minute you lose everything. The person who truly loves you will take care of you when you are sick and old. This is irrespective of whether you have money or not.

My heart will agree with you that once you have money, you have everything. My big head tells me otherwise. Yes, money can buy lots of things - love, friendship,etc, everything under the sky that is tangible, produced or nurtured. All these however, will be gone once money is gone or depreciated. You may also do anything just to ensure there is ample supply of money, not impossible though... except for one thing. In my opinion, the one thing money has no power over is "aging". You may have money to spent on supplements to ensure good health and prevent aging, but there is no way money can stop the body from aging.

This is the most tricky question. Its answer can not be perfect yes or perfect no. As those people who donot have enough to fulfill their dreams who are struggling hard to meet their ends, who are always in a deep cruch after paying all the household bills and still worried for their retirement funds and childs future. Who are trying every legal things to earn money as the more and more people writing more and more discussions to earn more pennies.. For them money can buy everything... Ask those who has more than enough..... They are in pains for their ego satisfaction, status in society, property problems, business problems and tensions..they will make you count the money wont buy happiness, love and a lot of other things.. So the meanings bears different importance for different peopples depadning their circumstances and situations..

NO! You will only have everything if God reigns in your life. Nothing beats the life lived in faithfulness to the Holy One. Money may provide you with the things you wanted the most, but all of them are just temporary things. They will make us happy for awhile! Just for awhile. Remember, it will not last! It will never be yours forever. - Ron Reyes www.ronreyes.co.nr

its a big no. ive been there, i mean im not boasting but to my experience, i have all the money i need to buy this and that and to go there and everywhere i want but at the end of the day you still have that thought of 'i think i lack something' -- thats either love, friends, family, courage, skills, or health, or whatever..

I don't think that's completely true. I think money may certainly make your life not feel as bad, but I think for the most part, money certainly doesn't buy happiness nor mean you have everything. I think money really is the root of all evil. People are more motivated for money far more than they are anything else in the world. That's definitely saying something.

today money is very important to our lives, if you dont have money you cant buy foods to eat,no clothes,for transportation..when you have lots of money you have to know how to handle..money can lead to conflicts to human,and money cant buy happiness and friends..

Well Though money is important yet its not everything.Yes it could provide you more opportunities in life but in the end its your personality that matters in the end that how u use these opportunities.So First of all its how u r that matters and not what u have.

one thing i must say that you have kept your point in a simple and a beautiful way.It really makes me think.I think you are right i think you are wrong.Oh!yes money is important to fill your belly your little ones belly but thats not the only thing one needs.Love dosent see money if it does thats not true love. yes without money you are lost,people seldom care to look after you .You are left all alone to fend for yourself,thats very true. Lack of money definitely distroyes the person one is its so hard on one self you suffer so your near dear ones that makes you seperate from the good self in you.Yes poor people at times happen to be bad people but not always.Some poor people show exceptional acts of kindness. Poor people loose everything but not their hearts our poor grandparents loose their money after us but that dosent make them bad.They still hold themselves with dignity.People who are after the mad race often feel more poor then they really are.Ta

Yes Money play a big role in every aspect of ones life, but surely money isnt all and all. I have lots and lots of people who have money, but cant sleep without using sleeping pills. That shows Peace of mind is more than money. Some cant even buy everythiny, like money cant buy pure love, somethings it buys lust, infatuation and the rest. No, if you have money, you dont have everything. And remeber money cant buy LIFE.
