Do you think that money is important to you? Why many people chase about money? How come don't let money to chase us? Money can make people feel satisfaction, whereas it also can cause people to do wrong thing in their life. That why many illegal cases happen, which causes many victim. What do you think about money? Is it important to you?

It is not very important for me, but life becomes easier when you have it. I am trying to save and earn more at the moment, but only to be able to have some more free time further on. Having time to do what you want is important to me, and more money would enable me to do that to a larger extent. But money itself is not something I strive for.

I get your point. Money is not everything in life.There are certain other things which are more important and serious than money.Even a millionaire is not contented and happy and he has his share of problems too. People are racing with each other to become richer and successful day by day and due to this they have become self centered and materialistic. They forgot what exactly they want, why they live in this world. We should not be a slave of money. We should not be running for money from day by day. Rather we should look for internal peace, satisfaction and happiness for our-self and for our family. Although money is very important for our living but it just cannot equate with happiness and contentment.

Money has to be important to a degree because of the way our world depends on it for everything. Most of us wouldn't have a place to live, food to eat or even water to drink without it. I think it's what money can do, more than money itself, that is important to most people, but there are those who become obsessed with it and will do anything to get it. "The love of money is the root of all evil." Notice, it says "the love of money" not money itself. Money is a symbol of power and control to many. It's a big subject you've approached here!

Ya, you are right. Many people say "Money is the root of all evil", why they say like this?? Is it because the individual's who say this have had negative experiences with money. I tend to think so. This statement is just false. If money were the root of all evil, then how do you explain a serial killer? Are you really telling me that they do what they do because of money? No, I refuse to believe that. Money, as well as your business if handled correctly, can be used to achieve great things. My point here is that money is not evil. Money is a symbol of power and freedom and when harnessed to do good, anything is possible. So don't go into business with dollar signs in your eyes but instead with passion and honesty in your heart. If you chose passion and honesty, then trust me, the money will flow in. Also, don't rush into anything, take time and really reflect on what is your passion. When you find it, turn it into a business that will be destined to succeed.

Of course money is very important to me. Because with my money is not difficult to meet all my needs. If I do not have money, I would feel sad and confused. every day I always difficulties, financial problems. I am always sad because of this. I really wish I could have more money.

honestly, i believe money is very important for me.. i can't satisfy my wants without money.. Money is quoted as evil because it is also true that a lot of bad things happen when money is involved.. i also believe that it depends upon the person who uses "the money".. good or bad the person still holds the decision on how to use money..

Ya, you are right. Good and bad depend on how you make use of money. Some people will say that money can't buy you love. While this is true, it is a ridiculous statement. Love is an emotion, not a product available at the local grocery store. Do people who say this believe that you think you can actually buy love? Are they just expressing negative feelings for money because of their lack of it? No matter what people say about money, the fact remains that is a vital part of life today. Money remains the only standardized trade for goods, services, information, personal debts and travel. Without money you can't properly educate yourself Without money you can't afford to eat the food that gives you energy. Without money you cannot spend your time doing the things you love. Without money you cannot travel and experience a variety of cultures and societies. In fact it would be hard to imagine having the lack of happiness in the presence of the things listed above. The fact also remains that the good you can do on this planet is strictly limited to your presence, without substantial financial backing.

Money is an exchange medium that allows me to have food, shelter, and clothing without having to actually do what it takes myself to have those things. In other words, I don't have to build a house in order to have or live in one, I don't have to unless I choose to grow my own food and prepare it, and I don't have to make my ensemble for the day before going out the door. So even though money is hard to come by at times, I think it is harder to do all those other things and then go after money. It is less challenging in my opinion to make money and then use it to meet my needs.
