Any1 who takes a good look at money will find that it's made of colored paper or some kind of alloy, i.e. its a thing to be utilized by us nt the opposite! Money is a means to buy whatever we need but it shouldnt be :
1- the thee for living
2- the reason why we feel
3- the catalyst for our actions
4- the intrinsic factor in decision making
5- the starting point for our moral standards
Money started its life span on earth due to d confidence we humans gave to support using it in our dealings lets not make it the fuel for our interactions & the air we breath when we verbalize our thoughts. There are so many other things in life that should come first like health, family ties, morals, religion, friendship, creativity, intellect, & above all self respect which shouldnt have a price!! MOrality not money is a platform from which immortality is addressed!!

No Amer it is not the most important thing in life. It is imperative, and has a good deal of value; but it is not as important as people like Conrad Black think it is.
Money is the best form of transaction we have to deal with. Bartering would come in second, but then money is a highly evolved form of barter isn't it?
We need it. Without it in today's society we would be hungry, and walking naked in the elements without shelter to keep us safe from the four seasons.
It is a necessity and must be used as such. It is a tool in which we use to pry out an education, dig a good foundation for our family, a tool that will build our houses to shelter our loved ones, and a weapon to hunt out food to keep us alive. It is a tool that will spin our clothes for us and sew them to size, it is an implement that carries our loads from day to day.
Anything after those basics is gravy, and money is/has all the tools needed to cook the gravy.
It is the most viable means of trade we have, and with that we find a valuable tool in which to live with. In which to use.

For human beings I think the most important thing in life is essentially for them what they don't have and are continuosly seeking with all their might whether it is money love friendship. To sum it up I think the most important thing in life for everybody is a dynamic thing that changes all the time so it is not even one thing for the same person.

I have not seen a person who says that he has enough money. I think the contentment is the most precious thing one should try to attain. One should search for the ways and means to achieve this state. One needs to define the goal in his life at the start of his career about the materialistic achievements and then should stop when they are achieved and then should divert himself to achieve the contentment.
In Hindu ideology human life is divided in four sections i.e.
1. Bhramhacharyashram i.e. the period of earning education
2. Grahasthastram i.e. when he gets married, raises children and fulfills his family responsibilities and
3. Vanprasthastram. He renounces the family and goes to secluded place for peace.
4. Sanyas. He denounces the world.
Though the nomenclature is changed in the present age the meaning thereof is still valid to attain that precious contentment.

No, its not.....but it is a necessary part of life if you stay in a city , I guess any place urban.
My opinion: The most important thing would be to find something you're good at doing & excel in that sphere or profession....money will then follow automatically

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO money isnt everything. some people faill to realize this. If you have LOVE, you have everything... whether its a husband or wofe or mother or father sister or brother... friend whatever... Healt and Love are way ranked over money. There are rich people who are not happy. Money may buy temporary happiness for material things but it gets old fast.. Money can not buy love or health or TRUE friends.

Absolutely not. My brother and his wife are very well off, but their marriage is horrible. On the other hand my husband and I are very poor. So we don't get to eat out much or do a lot of extra things, but we have more time to spend with each other and we wouldn't have it any other way. We will celebrate our 11 year anniversary this month!

No. Love is. All the money in the world can't buy happiness if you don't have love in your life. If you already have love though, then money sure comes in handy to make life easier! I'd love to win a lottery & not have to work!

No. While having enough money to live is necessary, it is the relationships with family, friends, and even your pets that matter. When you are on your death bed, what are you going to say? "I am so happy I made all that money that I can't take with me." or "I am so happy to have all of my loved ones by my side before I go."
