Life is meaningless without money. Even your pastor can't survive without your tithe, offering and donations. Pastor needs your money to survive too. |

You should understand that poverty has a way of making poor people come up with phrases that cushion its effect on them and 'money is not everything' is one of them. |

Money is important, no doubt. But you also need good health to stay committed to whatever you want to do. So if you have both money and good health, you're set you can go after anything you want in life. |

A rich friend once said, “When you have money, you’ll realize there are things it can’t buy, you can only try. And it’s even more painful when you know you have the resources, yet still can’t get what you want. That’s when you begin to value hope and even being poor, because at least when you were poor, you had the hope that if you had money, you could have gotten it. That hope gave you the strength to keep fighting and pushing for something better. Sometimes, it even gave you peace of mind—especially when you believed the thing was just out of reach. But when you’re rich and still can’t get it, you start to feel worthless. Before you know it, you may even turn to drugs.” Then a friend replied, “ King Solomon this too is vanity.” 😭😭😂😂😂 |

Na the default disrespect dey pain me pass, like people do things to you without stopping to think about consequences, Na poor man they fit give drink to open with his teeth, they'll never think of asking a rich man to do that, that's one perfect example, you're disrespected by default if you're poor and they don't give it a second thought when they wan disrespect you. |

erad:Money is everything However due to the fact that human wants are insatiable. After getting money, one will discover that his or her want is not only money but something else which may be priceless. But man's basic needs - food, cloth and shelter must be met before meeting secondary ones then tertiary needs. Money is required to meet basic needs. It is after meeting the basic needs of man that it is not end |

Time is even more important than money. Things like happiness, and good health are even much better than money. Power is another tool when use adequately outrun money. Knowledge is sometimes more valuable than money. Someone said anything that can not be manmade/produced are even much more valuable than money. Examples are natural resources, blood and human organs.

people just want to serve money so bad. True spirituality dont carter to any spirit..wealth or poverty it find nagative in wealth and positive in poverty and vice versa. True spiritulity is a balance between the poverty and welath consciousness. Like negative and positive providing electricity. |

Dpsychologist:After everything, you find out that money is really not everything. That doesn't negate the truth that money is a useful servant. These two truths coexist, don't play. |

Dpsychologist:You honestly lack understanding. The fact they say it's not everything already acknowledges it's important. They never said "money is nothing", which you seem to be replying to. If you understood that, you won't be writing this unnecessary epistle. |

Money is not everything,my friend.It does not mean you have to be dirt poor or live in penury.A lot of rich folks are miserable or die prematurely.l would rather want a middle class income with a better health and fitness than much money and live like IBB or die like Steve jobs,Doyin Okupe or Kashamu. I don't want to look like Elon Musk,Don jazzy,Cubana chief priest,Tinubu etc with all the money.There is a difference between being alive and living.l want to be able to sprint,squat,jump, hand stand,dead lift,run marathons even in my 80s and such activities requires not much money.This to me gives life its meaning and purpose. |

My Final Take On This Thread. In real sense and spirituality. MONEY IS JUST A MATERIAL THING It is just a medium used as an exchange and Humans are the ones who invented it because of their greed and insatiable pursuits in life. If Humans were Truly Kind and stayed in tandem with nature even as they evolve, We will all have the things of life ranging from Peace Of Mind, Goodhealth, Feeding, Housing and Material Things in abundance. But since it is not news that Humans are mostly Unkind Beings and have decided to make things the way they are. There is no need for long stories. |
