Answer 1

I once heard someone say, "the love of money is the root of all evil." People seem to think, myself included occassionally, that having more money would solve problems. Deep inside, I know better. I can see the effects of greed all around me. Wars are started b/c someone, or some group feels they have sole ownership to something, they feel that they don't have enough of something, or that they shouldn't share what they have. I take notice of the rich and famous in the media, all the problems they still have and many of them have greater or more problems than us common folk. Many of them get involved with drugs and sorts, so I think I can be quite sure in my own mind that money obviously isn't the answer. Plus once you've obtained a lot of it, you are worried about who's trying to get it. Your quality of life may improve, yes, but then there's more going out than coming in if you are not careful, so then you need more, and more, and more, and more....get it? It becomes a neverending cycle of misery and greed for some. Was it Confucious who said "A fool and his money shall soon be parted?" If he didn't say it, someone did. No, I don't think money makes people happy. The value that money is associated with is symbolic of the value we should place on ourselves and all of creation as a whole. It is a tool useful in the potential improvement in one's quality of life and helping out others if they don't have as much, but if you don't think your quality of life is good at any financial stage you're at, you probably never will.

Answer 2

I am the same as you, just stuck around the middle. I say try your best to improve yourself, never feel sorry for yourself because their are people much worse off than you. But I can understand "looking up" to the people with more, I do many times.

But usually the case is that they didn't have to anything for thier money, they were BORN rich---and I have no special respect for people like that. The people who started with nothing and ended up wealthy did something to change it, and you should be inspired by them.

After all, there are people living humbly in the jungle that are perfectly happy with there lives, and never would trade thier place with anyone in the world.Life is not about money, life is about Love, and you don't need to be rich to experience Love.

Answer 3

You should live the life that God has given you. No one should think that only money makes you happy. Money never makes anyone happy. Its family and friends. Spend time with people who don't complain all the time about not having money to do this or that. Go to the park, it doesn't cost money to go there. Have a bbq. Stuff like that makes your life seem more exciting.

Answer 4

Well first of all good question another thing is well money does make life way easier I mean way way easier but does not mean that only to have money and to live and if you do not have enough money go do a suicide. I guess you got in a wrong foot there so what I am trying to say is as long as you are happy and living in Harmony thats all is to it. And another thing in this world is money does not buy happiness or buy you things that have no value "PRICELESS"

Answer 5

"The more you have, the more you have to worry about."-That quote was in reference to money and is a Zen belief. I had a lot of money and lost it during the technical stock failure to Worldcom. Believe it or not I am living a life (now) that is free from the burden of money. When I had money, I worried about it and just thought about it too much. I guess I thought I was nothing without my monetary cushion. I am living paycheck to paycheck today; but, I am young and smart. Someday I will have a cushion again and hopefully I won't be obsessed by it again.

Life is short and money is really just a symbol.

Answer 6

then you quite'll ought to spend it? is this purely for the basics, or for medical coverage, too? Are you speaking on the subject of the final individual, or ME? I had a automobile crash/dain bramage/coma/epilepsy, so i'd like a great variety of drugs. coverage says approximately $20,000 a month (they pay it). It additionally relies upon the place you reside. i've got heard approximately those inventory properties the government plans to construct in Japan, despite if it additionally relies upon in what city you reside. NYC and l. a. in many cases fee plenty extra suitable than a small city, and that isn't even counting the county taxes. Then there is state tax, which varies, and federal tax. in case you have the desire to make ALL human existence surely monogenetic and have the government cope with us like in "1984", then no person could desire ANY income any respect. We does no longer be waiting to purchase or sell something to a minimum of one yet another. no longer something new could ever get invented. existence could be boring.

Answer 7

You have to decide what you consider to be "living". The most precious moments, events, memories, etc. in my life have nothing to do with money or objects purchased therewith, but with relationships either with family, friends, pets. And, I've been extremely close to being homeless, with nothing, and that's what truly builds character and when you actually have to "live". I, myself, am truly grateful for what I now have and know that I am a good person no matter what the balance in my checkbook is.

Answer 8

No. Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Making money the centre of your reason for living is very shallow and can only end in disaster. Being happy is being at peace with yourself, which means that you can accept whatever life gives you and deal with it. One truth is that the only thing that can make anyone happy is themselves. If they hold their happiness hostage to outside criteria then not only do they loose control of themselves they also guarantee that happiness will be only fleeting.

Answer 9

live your life as fully as you can.money is not always the answer,but it does help..If you apply your self to be happy, loved and respected and give all of that in return then you are and have lived a happy fulfilled life.
Don't always do as your friends do. They can be wrong and in this case they are. When your money is gone you have only what you spent it on. If you have love , respect and happiness, you will always have all of that.

Answer 10

money can not buy happiness. My life as a child was near to poverty. It was a struggle for my parents trying to support 8 children.But my Dad was an honest, hard working man who provided for his family in every way. We were happy and content with the little we had, (which wasn't much for lots of years) but we had each other......
