Raining Money

Philippines
November 12, 2011 10:47am CST
Before I graduated, I never thought that making money was difficult since I only ask from my parents and then 'Voila!' money appears. I don't abuse though. Now, after graduating, passing the board exam and currently soul/career searching, I realized that it's really hard to earn money. You have to work for it to earn it. But since I am a lazy bum, I had this weird query, "What will the world be like if it is raining money?" Have you ever thought about it or am I being weird again? Please share your thoughts. Thank you. ^_^

My friends says that if it would always rain money then the world will be easier but a lot will be hungry! Well, a lot of people will have a lot of money and that makes no one to do any work.. Even the farmers. So everyone of us will die rich but hungry if that ever happens!

your statement was so perfect and i also agree with you because like you said if there will be a rain money every one will get rich even they are not working for themselves and a lot of people will decide to stop their work because they are financially stabled. there will be no farmer,butcher or even a government employee. there will be an imbalance with the people and their work and field.

Indeed! We will all be rich but we will probably be hungry because since everyone has the money, they will not work anymore... So yea, everyone of us don't need to be that super rich.. Because even if we are just simple, we are helping other people, including the rich and poor to live in some ways!

If it starts raining money, money will lose its value.

Well said! I agree with you. Probably our mode of transaction might not be through money but through something else.

I think your idea will work if you could make money rain on one chosen spot only. I don't know if you have ever heard about shamans who made rain stop to give way to a football game or some outdoor tournaments. If they can stop the rain in a particular area, I wonder whether they can make money fall like rain? Lol.. This is only an imagination of mine, and if it happens in your backyard you will be rich! Think about it. He he.. As for now, since money hasn't rained in my yard I guess I have to continue working. Work, work, work. Nice knowing you. Have a nice day!

I think if it ever started raining money than the prices on everything would go up maybe triple times what it is now because the government will figure hay they can afford things now so lets boost the prices up the government try's to keep things where the rich can pay for the high priced things an the middle an low class can pay for the things that are average so to stay in control of everything an remain leaders of the world they would have to boost prices up

I don't think it would ever happen. It is just fiction in stories where people can make anything. But it really happen people will not much care for their jobs then they will just care is when it will rain again? lol One more rainy season and we will have a car. Think what mother will say their children when they will ask to double their pocket money.

Yepz, it will never happen but we never know. I'm open to possibilities. Heheheh... But if ever it will happen then we should have our helmets on especially if it's coins that will fall not paper money. ;P I have to agree with you that people will be lazy and that they will just wait for another rainy season. Poor mom. I bet this will be her reaction - o_O

Well if that happens, there would be no problem at all. Sometimes, I also hope that money would just be like rain so I just have to pick it up and solve all my problems. In my opinion, money is one of the root cause of problem and if all of us are just picking up money everywhere, we wouldn't have much problem at all. But that was indeed impossible.

By saying "raining money", are you mean to say that you don't have to put in any effort and simply get whatever you wanted? That just won't happen in a reality. In your fantasy world, it might be one of the greatest thing that ever happen though. We all knew the truth. We have to work so hard for everything in order to gain something.

I guess, the raining money means the easily money we can earn from gambling, lottery and so on. However, there is no easy money for me. We have to work hard in order to earn for it.

Well, if the world is raining with money, all the economies will suffer. That is why central banks of different nations control the amount of money circulating within their nations. Having too much of something diminishes its value. Therefore, money will lose its value and no one will work for money anymore. Is that a good thing? Well, if no one will work then humanity and technology will not grow as working people helps in the development and are the main manpower to sustain technology and improve it. Then something about that will be already wrong. But it would be nice if the amount of money raining will be divided accordingly to the value of the things a man/woman does in this world. Because sometimes, some individuals don't deserve so much money with how they get it. Just my thoughts.

hahaha.. you have a very interesting imagination. :) i haven't thought of raining money, just raining chocolates or something.. haha but if it will start raining money, then i guess, everyone's gonna be rich. they'll be able to buy what they want, and everyone's gonna be lazy bums

I do dream about raining money. Maybe I'll be so excite and don't know what to do if it will happen.It may cause a lot of trouble if things like this occur.

If it's raining money, the government would probably create a really big net so they could catch all of it and keep all of it to themselves. Kidding aside, I don't think it would be a great thing if money is as easy as that to get. Yes, everyone of us would have access to money but come to think of it, I'm sure every single person in the world would just be bumming around if that happens. No one would do anything but to accumulate all the money they could get. No one would be willing to apply for a job and be a slave of their companies. Famers would no longer farm and we would go hungry! Yes we have lots and lots of money but we, together with our economy, are going to die eventually!

Still the same or even worse. Money cannot buy happiness.

Well let me tell you, if you play it smart you don't need to work hard to get payed well. You just need to pretend you are working hard. Many lazy people work that way and have a great income. At this moment economics are far of great so it's important to start working as early as possible, even if you are still at school or studying. The older you get the less chance you have to find a job since there will always be people who are cheaper as you are (boss can pay them less). If it starts raining money? That will mean money is not worth anything anymore. If there is plenty of it you have to pay way more for everything so probably the world will be worser and we all go bankrupt and have to start all over again. If that's possible.

Earning money is not an easy thing. People who were born with golden spoon in their mouth are lucky enough for them to have a secure future. For us though, what made us luckier than them is we experience how hard it is to earn money. We sweat and bleed and in the process we learn. Nothing in this world can buy knowledge and that's our advantage over those who were born millionaire and doesn't need to work hard to live.
