MONEY ...it is really the in-thing in life. Who would want to live peacefully with the meagre revenue that he/she gets in life. All of us strive to amass money in plenty to appease our ever growing demands. With little money to spare your are in peril . Praise the LORD ! Praise the full wallet !

I think the secret is to know what amount is enough. When we constantly need to make more and more, we become slaves to earning money. That means more work and less time to live, rest and play. There is nothing wrong with having money in any amount. Spending every dollar will not bring fulfillment, nor will hoarding every red cent. I agree that a full wallet is nicer than an empty one. But knowing when full is full enough to suit our needs is the best of all worlds.

I don't strive to amass monstrous amounts of money. I don't dream of having more money than I know what to do with.. I only want enough money to pay the mortgage on my land. My land provides me food and shelter. My land provides for me. I only need enogh money to keep my land. I am not greedy. And I put little weight on money. There may come a time in my life when paper money means NOTHING and the ability to grow food means everything.

I know I am not the first to say that the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil. But, I wanted to make sure to make sure the word Love stands out in your mind. Most people misquote this scripture by saying that money is the root of all evil and that is not what it says. The question is, do you have money or does money have you? From the sound of your topic, the latter is the case. Now you were right when you said praise the Lord, because praise the full wallet sounds quite disturbing. In fact, if you think about it, you atre doing exactly what this scripture tells you not to do. You are worshipping money. God has told us that we can not worship him and money and he has also told of that he is a very jealous God. Did you know that when you are a child of God, you don't even need money. People put to much faith in uncertain riches and you could lose a all in a simple twist of fate. Then where will you be?

Its the life,my friend and now a days there is no life without money, i think.You have to run after it and it runs still faster, too little people can make the pace with it. Today your wallet is full and say it may get emptied the next day, so always think of future and spend 5 in place of 10.

Dear Sukumar794, In Golden old days without having had money you can live that is impossible today. Because in gone era they needed only two square meals and a dhoti to wear. Gone era provided the comfort because there was lot a dharmasala which provided food to needy and rich people provided dhoti for the needy. Population was less. Today nothing from free. Even the begger has to pay "HUFTHA" for begging. Therefoe we have to earn lot of money as every day price is ever increasing for the products for comfortable living. We have left with no alternative to pray God and request him to shower on us everything available with him because he has increased the population of earth people.

Will praising the lord or praising the full wallet make us richer? lol. I would rather praise anyone who is making me rich, if a simple praise is all it needs. I know praising my fairy godparents will bring me comforts, if not from a sugar daddy :p
