Between money, health and family, which is the order of priority for you ?

Question

Please rank in order of your choice eg. 1) money 2) family 3) health and then give good reasons why you choose in that order.

Answer 1

1) Health for the reasons that others have already listed, plus you can have all the money in the world, and while it might buy better health care, it cannot buy health.

2) Family- hopefully they would stick by me through good times and bad, health & sickness, richer or poorer.
However, there is a flip-side to this. In some cases there is only so much you can do for a family member, before they either take advantage of you, or totally disrespect you. So I guess that might be selective family member.

3) Money- can't live too much without a least a bit of it. If I couldn't have money, I would hope that I could develop a skill that I could barter for food & shelter. Because withouth food and shelter, your health will diminish, and then you cannot be there for your family.

I think the moral of all this is that the 3 are intertwined. Each taking the more important role at differing times.

Answer 2

(1) Family
(2) health
(3) money

Answer 3

#1 has to be family.

But it is impossible to take care of the family or have money if a person is not healthy. So the priority list is:

1. Maintain good health or get back to it, so that
2. I can take care of my family needs, which includes priority #3,
3. to earn enough income and/or assist the family living with living within the budgeted family resources.

Answer 4

1)Health (in order to take care for your family and not let them worry,you have to maintain a good health.Moreover,you need good health in order to enjoy family life and your money)

2)Family (Family will be more important than money because they are the ones who give you love,support,companionship unconditionally)

3)Money (money cannot buy all of the above)

Answer 5

Health...1 because with out health you cannot have what you want.
Family...2 because family is your expression of life
money...3 because it can always be earned anytime. IT is something you can save and use it later, but with health if you dont take care of it today sickness will take away all your time and family cannot wait either!

Answer 6

1. Health - Without it I can't take care of my Family and become a burden on them
2. Family - Friends Included because I feel Friends are the Family you choose
3. Money - Only because it is a tool that gives me freedom, security and the ability to help others.

Answer 7

1)Family, because I care about them more than anything in the world.
2) Health because I want myself to be healthy in order to take care of my family.
3) Money, it is only fleeting, and I have found that I am much happier with less than with more. More money equals more stuff, more stuff equals more worries.
I am happy with what I have.

Answer 8

1) health (because you can't have the other two without it) 2) family (because I only have one and I didn't have to earn it) 3) money (there is always more if I work for it)

Answer 9

Yes, the road you walk will be far easier with Jesus, Mary, saints and all of us fellow Catholics walking it with you. I will pray for you friend, I hope dearly your problems can be resolved. Just visit a local parish and consult a priest, find a good one and he will council you to the best of his ability free of any charge. When you convert and receive communion, you will find it the greatest joy in your life! I pray for those who try and spread falsehoods about the Church on these boards. Ruth obviously knows nothing about Catholicism, as it is Christianity, the original Christianity, the full Christianity, that is what Catholic means, full, complete. Brainwashing??? I don't know what church she went to, but it certainly was not Catholic, judging and brainwashing are both grave sins and I will pray for her to stop spreading such horrendous lies. Peace be with you, brother.
