Money can create many problems and can complicate life if it's not kept in the right priority. You need money to buy a home, food, clothes, etc.
"Love of money is the root of all evil" (The Bible)

Here's my recall of a tale I once read that put things into perspective:
A fisherman was met at the dock one early afternoon by an expert on money. The fisherman had just finished for the day. The expert asked him why he was quitting so early. The fisherman responded that he had caught some fish and he wanted to spend some time playing with his children, have dinner, listen to some music and relax a little with his friends.
The expert said that if he'd work a little longer the fisherman could earn some extra money. The fisherman said "Why?" The expert said that if the fisherman worked very hard he could soon have enough money to buy a second boat and hire people to work for him. "Why would I do that?" asked the fisherman. The expert replied that if the fisherman kept it up he could someday own a whole fleet of boats working for him. "And then?" asked the fisherman. "That's when things get really interesting" said the expert. "Then you could sell the whole company for a great sum of money and go retire. Then you'll have the time to fish a little if you want, go home early to play with your children, have some dinner, listen to some music and relax with your friends later...

Money is nice and seems to solve a lot of problems for people, but sometimes it just creates more than it solves. (greed) I have always said that if I was to win the lottery or another multi-million dollar contest that the first thing I would do is pay off all of my families and friends dets and then invest a large sum in something that I know would bring in enough in revenue to live off of the interest alone. Give some each year to charity and pay "my" taxes and not be like all of these others that try to find loopholes to get out of paying theirs.

funds should be a attitude to facilitating commerce. even as human beings purchase and promote, one among them in many cases brings a huge pile of money, even as the different one in many cases brings something else. If both one among them want what the different individual has more effective than what's of their fingers now, they change. the cost of money is widely speaking its liquidity. the cost of the different merchandise is widely speaking its software. The differing desires of diverse human beings is why trades proper to funds take position. although, a funds gadget might want to correctly be a swindle in cover. Such is the case for the "US" overseas money, it truly is somewhat Federal Reserve banknotes. The Federal Reserve is an vast counterfeiting operation that has been run by technique of Jewish bankers considering 1913. below this funds gadget, funds comes into existence as an accounting get entry to. In different words that is made out of no longer something. In nonetheless different words, the type of money is a fiction, a fantasy, a fraud. The bankers who create it do no artwork, yet they suck wealth from those who artwork with the interest they value for loans. each of the money in stream today is the mixture imperative of those loans. although if all the money were to go back to the monetary organisation as funds, nonetheless a lot more effective funds might want to be owed because of the interest. And there might want to be no more effective funds to pay with. So the bankers might want to call the police, call the sheriff, call out the nationwide shelter if needed, and grab human beings's resources. The police call the type of fraud a "numbers racket." that is like a ponzi or chain-letter rip-off. because they convey funds as a attitude to gaining wealth without operating for it, the bankers are easily counterfeiting. that is criminal even as they do it because they have a authorities license. And that is an unique license that no individual else can get. even regardless of the reality that some human beings may be in a position to artwork their way out of debt, they could accomplish that in common words by technique of creating issues worse for some different person. The usa as an total ought to save sliding into debt to the Jews because the money gadget makes no different result plausible. to positioned it yet in a special way: the Federal Reserve's funds gadget is a catch, and we human beings have fallen right into the pit.

Money is the answer to no problems. I had a friend who died from cancer and she always used to say "if money will solve your problem, you don't have a problem." She was so right.

There are so many movie stars, etc who have more money than they can possibly spend in their life times, yet they seem so miserable or they have a terrible disease that can't be cured. What good is their money?

this is a great question to keep us focused on what is important.

Thanks

Studies have actually been done on this subject. Studies show that money does bring happiness, but only to a certain point and then money no longer affects you. I believe they quantified the point of diminishing marginal returns at around $60,000 or so.

No, it is not the answer to all problems, but it can make life more comfortable when you are able to provide food, clothing and shelter for yourself instead of worrying about where the money will come from to pay for those necessities.

There's a saying that "Money is everything", but it is really depends on the person. But for me, money is not the answer to all the problems. For me, happiness is better than money.

For me, the answer is, how do a person can handle the problem.

Money doesn't create happiness, but neither does being broke.

Some people use money and love people. Others love money and use people.
