people who say that money isn't everything usually have a large amount of it. that doesn't mean they're wrong, just that their motivations are suspect. at many points in our lives, crisis points, it becomes clear that money is far less important than life, health, happiness, any number of other things. money usually makes things easier and with enough, it removes a major concern so we may concentrate on the other problems and joys in life.

I guess money would be a 9 out of ten in a ten scale rating. Nobody could deny the importance of money in person's life - more so if one considers a person's social standing and monetary value in society. But I guess in the current state, most of the people (who are employed) get by enough to live their lives by their wages. Of course, there are still people who are under the poverty and needed help from other movers in society, especially the government.

How would I rate it? Pretty lousy. Real low. I think money can be a real problem for people. Especially the ones who feel they have to have all the bells and whistles. Those folks get into real trouble real fast with money. It is sad how much money speaks to people now day.s

Well, obviously money plays a very important role in each and every one of our lies. However, I don't think that having a lot of money is something that is able to make us happy. Money is necessary so that we are able to fulfill our basic requirements as a human being, such as food, shelter, etc. However, money isn't something that we have to have in order to have relationships with other people. In other words, money does not buy our happiness.

Hi doctordidi Money is certainly essential, we have the three basic needs, food, cloth and shelter, money can only buy that for us, so we have to earn money lol But it must be earned by decent means only, not too much, it has to spent frugally too, money can buy a house, not a home, it can buy a wooman not a wife, it can never buy happiness or peace of mind.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . God bless you. Welcome always.

for me money is important, but not to the point that it will ruin relationships. it has to be of a good use.

hidoctordidi here in mylot sometimes I think a lot of people just do not do anything but think,eat,drink, and maybe make love to it in some way. it gets so I want to scream there are other things in life that are important too,your loved one, your families, your pets, your job, your health. why do we all spend all our time talking about it like its a magic cureall for everyhing, just throw some money at it, or at her or him, that will make them love you, or be your friend or whatever. Money is inert, its paper or metal, it cannot hold you when you are sad, make love to you when you are needy,feed you when you are hungry.money is a medium of exchange for the good we need and to pay our bills but it is not a thing to worship. lets just put money back in its place and talk of something else for change.

Money plays an important role in human life. Sometimes money makes people forget. Lost relatives, friends forget, forget the wife / husband, and forget everything. Human can not live without money. So people, willing to do anything to get money.

Money is the cause of many vices yet it is so very essential. I would rate money on the Second place but somewhere I know it is on top for millions around. Cheers, theSids.

Of course, money play an very important role in our life, unless you stay far away from the civilization and live on something natural. You will need money to live, you will need money to buy food, pay bill, pay for you transportation fees and so on, so isn't important? For me money is really important and always in the 1st place.

Money is currently, also important in my life. Why? Because money is important for buying daily things.

Role of money in life is very important because we can't do without it. Everything needs money to pay for. Household electrical bills and water usage all needs money to pay for. UNless the government says we can use something to trade for those usage, only then money won't be that anymore as all others are bound to follow suit. However that won't happen for sure because government needs money from the taxes they collect from us for other purposes.

hy DoctoDidi, money is very important for us all, because with the money we could support our needs every day. and money is very important for every human being who needs it. in the world today money is very difficult for the search because so many people who compete for money in order to fulfill their lives. so, let not spend money just because it is a waste.

Depends on the personality , but in today's world everything is money or at least that's what everybody is saying . I personally don't focus on money that much , but some people do and live their lives obsessed of the little green papers.

I think that money is a very important part in your life, or atleast in this society. But: MONEY DOES NOT EQUAL JOY! People really need to understand that, of course you can enjoy money, but money is not joy! You need to be careful with money, because it can be very evil, it can steal your friends and make your beloved ones look worthless. Some people realise this too late sadly...
