the value of money is placed when there is a lack of money in a dire situation and depending on the circumstances really determines how important it is to people.

Money is an interesting phenomenon. Through out the ages many different things, such as salt, gold, and women, have served as payment and currency. Whatever people used has sparked war and changed the landscape of the area (the gold rush). Many people's true character has been revealed when offered a bag of money.
We live in a society that requires money. However, the value of money is what we place on it. A poor person can be poor their whole lives and be far happier than a rich person. Money is also needed for rich people to help bribe the government to make decisions to benefit big business. Also, when someone orders a $1.07 hamburger and pays with a hundred, you can look at that person and think they are a jerk.

The technically correct answer to your question is whatever you and I agree that it is. I will assume though that you are asking more of a philosophical question. Money is nothing more than the expression of energy. It's value is derived by someone putting forth energy in creativity, sales or service that is rewarded by an individual or community. In my opinion, when it comes to values, money must be kept in perspective. It comes down the list, after the real golden rule, family, health, spiritual growth etc. Money can be used to help people and to give oneself independence and basic sustenance. Value the good that one can do with it but not the money itself.

It beats the heck out of trade and barter. Try driving a herd of cattle to town so you can buy a pair of Pradas.
To some people the value of money = the value of wealth. To me it is just a convenient tool so I don't have to be paid in jet parts once a week. Hard to take them to the grocery store (although the titanium is a little lighter than the other parts) but beats standing in line behind a donkey. They kick, and the mess, whooo yuck!
I'm trying to imagine my boss saying "you give me your titanium that you worked so hard to dig up and go hungry while my guys make enough parts so I can get paid with a whole jet and then I'll give you half a jet."
Seriously, the value of today's money is much more constant than it was when all we had was beads and shells.

I honestly don't care much about money. Sure, it can buy stuff. But what's important to me can't be bought. What's important to me is my family, friends, and bf. Love and happiness. And finding a career I enjoy, not simply because it has a big paycheck. And with the jobs I'm looking at (environmental field), I'm pretty sure I'm going to be poor for life. But I'm still pretty happy, because I already have everything that I really need. Money has very little value to me.

something it won't pay you back, is a waste of money. That being the damaging are damaging and the midde-classification are that way (being that the damaging wastes funds on minor expenses like foodstuff, lease, and products, whilst the midsection classification wastes funds on liabilities like residences with rents and vehicles with coverage funds, cellular telephones with extra useful properties that harbor high priced expenses. the wealthy purchase cashflow producing components, issues which will pay them back - regardless of if it rather is in simple terms in a while in time, as though with an appreciating residing house in an outstanding section which you 1031 exchanged or have income flowing from a employer appropriate undertaking as though a licensing deal or in simple terms sales from a product. shares are additionally in this record, by Dividend sales and capital useful properties whilst they develop in fee. This being precisely why I somewhat have the freetime to be able to interrupt out a laptop and do stupid issues like this each time i want.

Paying bill buying food and filling up my gas tank. Then I put the rest in the bank. If I need something I get it. I don't shop for fun. Maybe every couple of months. I safe money even pennies. I give to the church my % I'm suppose to every pay day and other then that I don't spend it. Money is a good thing to have.

Money is only as valuable as people say it is or believe it is. For example, in some third-world countries, U.S. dollars and Euros are worth more than the local currency even though the exchange rates say they should be worth less.

The value of money is dependent on the value that we give it.
That's why on the back of the US currency it says "In God We Trust".
