Money isn't all, many kids born with silver spoon 🥄 still cry and feel unhappy
It's true that money isn't everything, but you need that kind of money to realize that.

Everyone with he considers as essence of life

After all the long talk, money isn't still everything. Na because you never get the money. No amount of money can satisfy a man. A mountain full of gold can't satisfy the desire of a man. If you fall sick, if you are destined to die, no amount of money can save you. If you are destined not to have a child in this world, no ivf or surrogacy can change it. One thing or the other go still happen and you will remain childless. Paul pogba has a lot of money but when life showed him what it is made of, boy was crying like a baby. His money couldn't save him. Money is essential and very important but it is not everything. Only a teenager and young adults go think say money is everything.

Sorry about your dad, but some people have the money, fly their person outside the country for better treatment and the person still died. What will be will be either money dey or not.

Bro money is everything unless you want to live in the forest alone and avoid civilization. I lost my father because of lack of money. I don't care about anyone opinion about life if it's not money forget about it.

Dey play. Money is nothing compared to good and sound health. That one alone is better than money

We all need money to live life to the fullest.No money means no good life. Only thing you can do without money is breathing oxygen.Oxygen even come at a cost when someone is in coma. So make this money cos y. our life depends on it.

The adage is right, money is actually not everything with emphasis on EVERYTHING.

For example in the Human system, the respiratory system is not EVERYTHING about the body but surely it's something that the body cannot do without, same applies to other systems of the body.

You maybe seeing money as everything only because you do not stash them, but once you do that you'll be faced with another whole challenge that money will not flash in the option.

I believe only good health and peace of mind is everything.

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.
This !

They don’t fear for consequences of disrespecting a poor man. Because they know he doesn’t have money for lawsuit or to call police or soldier or touts. You are only fought for when you have money and give handouts every now and then.

Women disrespect you even your own mother and sisters. Your girlfriend can insult you and leave you without thinking too much about it
Re: "Money Is Not Everything" — A Lie We Were Told? by PepeXKermit: 6:24am On Jul 01, 2025
its only in a country like nigeria, a poverty stricken country that people think money is everything. go to developed countries and watch how everything you thought was normal regarding money is frowned upon. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING!

I agree with you. But keep it in context.

Somethings are just inevitable, like death. We thank God for life. If anyone had the same ailment as Yar adua, they would still die, except God intervenes.

Money gave Yaradua options. Money gave time extra days, even if it's one. Buhari, had is own near death experience and money gave him options too and he is alive.

Meanwhile, this doesn't mean we should remove the God factor.
You are the one not keeping in context. The topic says money answers EVERYTHING

Money is not health, and health is not money obviously, but when you fall sick and you're dead broke, you go understand the difference between six and half a dozen

I see many people trying every possible best to discredit MONEY meanwhile in real sense most of us sacrifice everything including our happiness because of money.

Let me ask a simple question.

1. How much of your time do you dedicate to making money? in some countries, husband and wife hardly see each other due to work shifts.
2. How good are your decisions and options when you dont have money?
3. Money does not guarantee life but can you even afford a good medical attention which is the only option?

Thank you for this point. To tell you how important money is we sacrifice our time to make money, sacrifice our relationships to make money, sacrifice our good health to make money.Have you seen some job hazards people face all because they wanna make money.People take alot of risks just to make money and someone will now say money is not everything.

It takes maturity to understand money is not everything.

If that's the peak of your existence, congratulations.
The highest defense against his stance is that money can't buy life... Nothing like maturity here my man. Even the people with mature brains are setting their kids up for a brighter future because they know life can be miserable without money... Na only monks fit make such claim of not needing much money.

Money is 99.9% everything. In this material world, we need money to be able to attain full potential.
Nothing like maturity here oga, except I don't know the kind of maturity you're talking about, in which case you'd need to explain further.
How can one use maturity to acquire the basic need of your household manhuh
Re: "Money Is Not Everything" — A Lie We Were Told? by Kingmadiba2(m): 7:49am On Jul 01, 2025
There is no point convincing anyone that money is everything or not.

Those who argue for or against it are right.
Just like every other things in this world money has its own place .

In as much as oxygen is needed to sustain life it's still not only oxygen I need to live.

I need food, I need water, I need good health, I need a shelter. What now makes money to appear to be everything is that other necessities I need to continue to live after I have been given oxygen for free requires money to get them. Be it food, water, house, clothes, education, transportation etc.

No allow your inability to make money to start propagating the idea that money is not everything ooh.

The only thing that is free is oxygen ooo, other things require money for you to be able to get them

I have been a poor man ,and I have been a rich man and I can tell you for sure there is nobility in poverty .

You got it wrong, nobody is saying you should be poor.
They're saying you shouldn't go overboard or kill yourself for Money.
Don't get it twisted.

If you know how many wealthy people died of untreatable sickness in hospitals you will understand better, Life is deeper than you think. MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS NOT MONEY.

Mind you, THE RICH ALSO CRY.

From your write up it's evidently clear you don't understand the adage. You are not even close to understanding it... I can tell you're in your early twenties.


Those who don't have money thinks money is everything... Don't worry, you'll get to the stage in life whereby you'll understand what those words mean.
Why is it anytime someone's view doesn't align with y'all view,he automatically is a teenager or child. You folks don't believe you can be wrong.
About the topic,money is everything. Even the folks that tell you that money isn't everything, tell them you won't give them 10 million and watch them grovel at you. Money solves problems and poverty doesn't solve anything

And those born with "wooden spoon" don't cry or feel unhappy?

Sickness will spare neither the rich nor poor, but the rich has a chance to exhaust all medical options before resigning to fate. The mere news of a complicated illness will kill the poor.
U are still missing the point. Anyways, rich or poor, when sick, apatite disappears, all d luxuries at ur disposal would seem useless. U would be willing to give everything u have just to be healthy again.

When they say money isnt everything, it's just means excessive obsession with money is unhealthy & unnecessary. NOT THAT U SHOULD STAY DESTITUTE & POOR(that's as bad blindly chasing money & ammasing wealth)

Gracious3105:
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.” 😭😭😂😂😂
Hmmmmmmm!

This is gold!

It is.very frustrating when you have the money to do something yet it is impossible.
