The Importance of Money

Tweet

Many of us hold money in high regard. Some of us worship and covet it, though I do neither. Why is money really important? Forgive me for stating the obvious, but money is a means to an end. We need money to get things that we need or want. Sometimes the distinction between what we need and want becomes blurred. Clothing, food, shelter, and various other necessities are essential for survival, and relative access to these things also determines how much more we are able to acquire. If you wonder what I am getting at, let me ask, have you seen a homeless a person who has no access to both facilities and change of clothes. Money cannot buy happiness, but it is indispensable for allowing you and those you love to lead a healthy life. And in the end, what is money worth if you have no one to share it with???
