Sometimes we don’t care for our loved ones. Because we always busy in our life for earning money. Sometimes money makes differences between peoples and their loved ones. I think why every peoples runs behind money. Are money is everything for them. And nothing is important. When I asked this question to one person then he replied me that money is very importance in his life because if we have money then everyone gives us respects. And also we become more powerful if we are a rich person. So what do you say about this.

I think all of us, we need money. and some of us, they feel that Money is everything. How can you eat without buying goods, you need money to buy goods. How can you provide for your illness, if you will not buy medicine for yourself. Although there are natural and organic plants that you can just boil, but you have to buy that organic or natural plants if you are not the one planting it. How can you travel if you do not have money, if you have cars, how can you full the tank with gas without money. We use money on materials things. Everyone needs it. Although i love my family, i still need money. Actually I am desperate to earn money. But i do not treat it as a God. My happiness is not depending on money. If i have peace and free from worries, then that really matters on me. BUt i still need money but it is not everything to me.

that is their mistake. They do not have to treat money as God because that is a material thing. And let getting the money be their inspiration to work harder in legal ways.

i am not going to lie to myself and say money is not important for me, all i know is that money is not everything for me, cause i am the one that making and run money not money to me. and respect will be given to whom deserve it, money make no body better person, it makes you live comfortable but not all the time happy, family, love, God, friends, education and a good heart make you better person and also make you live better. and trust me once you put all those together every body will respect you for who you are not for what you have. we need money to survive, to pay our bills, that's why we go after it cause we need it, at the same time remember you have a life to live and aslo a family that needs you presence.

I certainly have admit that, sometimes, money does seem to take control of people's lives. When this does happen, these individuals don't seem to be aware of it. For one reason or another, it just happens. Although I don't think that we should let it happen, no matter what the reason is.

Yes sometimes money make peoples ego. And they want to earn more money and always run behind how to earn more money. But I think that is not good if you always think about money and never care for your loved ones. Anyway thanks for the response.

The more I deny the roles play by money the more it seems important to me. For me money will be nothing if only we don't use it in our lives. As long as we use it we should consider it as important thing in our lives. And it depends to your surrounding as well. I am surrounded with people with materialistic minded so they will only respect yourself when you have money or luxury which they can see by their own eyes. They don't give chance to others to get success in their own way now will give you time to build you own dreams. Only the strong will get to their own way and won't follow what others did but it will be a tough time because people judge you based on your money you have in your pocket. That is why I say that no matter how we deny it money is still an important thing as we keep use it in our daily lives.

There are times when money tends to rule our life.We forget to give time for our love ones,and some can even cause harm to other people for the sake of money.This should not be the case if God bestows us money,we should use it in a good way,to help those who are in need.No matter how much money we have,it's not everything.Money can't just give us full happiness and time comes,and we will realize that there are more important things than money like freedom,love,friendship,and harmonious relationship with God.

This is the reality. But I do think there are more things that are more important than money. We have principles that are not yielding to money.

its the fact that money now a days makes a person powerful,popular,influential and you can get all what you want.yes money is really important to our lives coz this what makes people happy contented ,however some people they really adore so much of having a lot of money.maybe its a way how to balance everyhting ..to have money and to aim more for that is not a sin but for the love of money is what makes other people become greedy.now a days you will be measured for what you have and for what you can be because of ur money...but i have to dis agree not all rich people earn a respect because of ur money its because for who you are to others..thanks you god bless..

Money is very important.It's frustrating when you want to buy things you like you find you haven't enough money.If you have money, you can do many things,like going travel,spending holidays,giving donations and so on.Those who say money isn't important can possibly be the people who have much money or those who can't earn money and they want not to lose face.writing this ,i think of a Chinese fable saying that many foxes find a grape tree full of grapes on it ,the foxes run to pick the grapes,but one of them can not reach the grape ,so he says to others,that the grapes are too sour to eat.

You can care your close people even you don't have much money if you schedule your time logical. I realize that we can be happier when we're busy with earning than we have much money. You should review the way you are spending your time.

Yes money is important to us , but it's not everything. We need money to sustain us in purchasing our needs and some wants. But working long hours just to have money, will have its toll on the family. There has to be a balance - time for making money and time for being with the family. If there will be too much time for making money, but so little time for the family, there is the possibility that the family gets wayward.

Of course money is not everyting for people. We can live without money but it does not mean everything. For me, it is part of the life. I think friendship,kinship is more important. Think about it, if you are wealth but you regrad it the most important thing in the world. You do not lend money to your friends. So your friends will leave you. Try to figure out more valuable things. You will find life is good!

to do nowadays money is everything. seems like you do not want money to live because I do not think you can handle. sometimes ignoring others for the money we have new relationships and breaking friendships. Appears to be caught in a cycle and we always happens the same. no diversity and our boring lives pogalva entirely. really anything but money should not be so. More people should ask themselves this question and answer. then maybe things will change. Very nice discussion. nice day!

Sad but it is what happens in reality. People take for granted of the essential things and focus on making money. Money is just a human construct. Even the concept that it cultivates is just a human construct too. Hence, if it can be constructed by men, it is quite easy to have. People should focus more on what human cannot construct like emotions, love and piece of mind. This can't be fabricated by men making it special and essential in life.
