Is money a big problem in your life/

October 22, 2010 11:04am CST
people always say that money is not everything, but I found that it is difficult to live without money. All the things that are neccessary in my life, such as house, food, clothes, must be link to money. For example, I can not even buy my own house at my recent salary level,for the price in my country is too high to afford; I want to make my parents who bring me up live comfortably. But the fact is that I do not have enough money and the only way I can go is just to working and studying hard to improve myself.

Money is a big problem in my life. Every week we seem not to have enough money for food or gas yet my wife thinks that when we do have some money instead of buying gas or pay a bill she would like to go out to lunch or dinner. We do have food in the house but I cant get her to realize this and that we need to use the money more wisely.

maybe your wife grow from a palace or a kingdom that she doesn't care about how to spend money wisely. You poor guy..! I am a wife too and it sounds that we are on the same pot, I mean. If we have money and there are bills to pay we always settle everything. If we have food at home, we always cook instead of going out. Eating out side costs almost $50 for both of us plus we have baby now( that's saturday & sunday). If we cook at home we can save almost a hundred every week.that's 400 a month. My style is, if we eat in a restaurant and there is food that we really like..I checked everything on it and cook it at home. Your wife should understand you, I know how hard to dig money nowadays, if we could only keep our money without spending it, we will do it But can't avoid wal-mart.! If she won't listen to you how to spend money then let her find a job so she will know how.! what do you think?

Yes,it is really difficult for most of us to earn money, and meanwhile all of us can not be affected by it in life. So I agree inday_lorna1970 very much: you should make your wife know that the importance of money in your family. if your wife doesn't work, you can persuade her to find a job, which will improve the economic condition in your family.

Let me ask you a question. Can you write? I know of a website where you can write short articles and make money. It's not an awful lot of money but it is better than none. Go to The Content Authority and sign up as a writer and they will give you a list from which to pick. You only get a couple dollars per article but if you can write and write a lot, you can make a little money. Hope this helps! http://thecontentauthority.com

I believe money is important, but not as important as it has been led to understand. We must have enough to eat, a shelter, right to health and education. More commodities are an excess in a planet where there are so many people starving. Probably a good way to have the lodgigs we all really need is to rent houses form the government according to the size of our family. It has been done in socialist coutries but I´m not aware how that has come out. As for me, I own a house that is way too big for me. It is a shame. My only excuse for not selling it is that it was built by my late husband and it´s the only house I know that does not have damages after the earthquakes we usually have. Still, if I knew how to transform it into 2 smaller places, it wouls be better. Take care!

I can relate to your problem. My family and I are currently going through a money crisis, but I have learned that if you make yourself happy anyways and focus on the good things in life and have a positive outlook, it wont seem so bad. Money isn't bad as long as you don't make it your number one priority in life. Work hard and good things will come with God's help. And you should improving yourself and not to far from now you will be in a better place economically. Good Luck to you!

I am a 27 years old boy, now it is time for me to consider buying my own house, but the fact is that I have been working for only 6 monthes and my salary is too low to allowed me to do it. The price of commodities especially the house rise so much that most people have to rent house. Just like what you said, only working and studying hard, we could be in a better place economically.

I know, money is hard, and I hate my small salary, I can't help in our home expenses because it is only enough for myself.

Money is not the problem in my life, it is getting the money. LOL.. I think it is such a major problem in earning for so many these days even just for the basic needs. So many of us are trying so hard but somehow are still at square one, so my prayers and faith keep me going and hopeful.

Well i think money is almost everything in life. Actually it is next to happiness. You need money to be happy many times but you can also feel happy without money also, thats why i said that money is next to happiness. But money can create problems also as other people may get jealous of you and also you may become more egoistic. Harry, :-)

Yes in present money is really a big problem for me because in present I am unemployed so always I ask to give money to me to my father. And also there are my many desires that can fulfill with the help of money. So now I am searching for a good jobs and I hope soon I find a good jobs. Because when I ask for money to giving me from my father then I feel shame on myself.

Yeah, I thing we are in a similar situation... I also want to provide a comfortable life for my family- but what can I do? I'm still a student- so I just have to study hard and finish school for now. And money really isn't everything, but it plays a big part in everyone's life. For now, money is a big problem since my family doesn't have work and my siblings and I are still in school. My parents even kind of fought once over money.. I just hope we can go through these rough times someday..
