Let’s talk, guys:

Have you also started feeling like money is EVERYTHING in today’s world?

Or do you still believe peace > paper?

Drop your thoughts. This one’s personal.
Money is not everything doesn't teach you not to chase money rather you shouldn't chase money at the expense of moral value.

I guess you are between 18-30. My advise is get to 60 first before you revisit this your opinion
If you're poor @60, even your children will relate with you at arm's length.

Nobody is telling/encouraging you to be poor, but indeed MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING

Just take an objective look at Nigeria and you'd understand what happens to any society that worships money
Money will always be worshiped in a poverty-ridden environment.


There are several Nations better, stronger, richer than Nigeria, why isn't money being worshiped there huh

if I'm asked to choose between:
a. Have money and be sad
Or
b. Be poor and be happy

I will choose the first one.

They say money is not everything but it can solve almost everything. 99%
I dey tell you but why do some rich men commit suicide?

Been poor get levels sha... There is different between been poor but you have your own house and small car then earn small small money here and there.

I prefer that kind of simple life but been reached or pauper is not an option

If you don't have money.. ur wife will leave you to another man.. she may endure at first but give her 2months.. family without money is hell..
People are still waiting for another hell fire.. A married man without money is the definition of hell fire they were talking about in the Bible.

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.
Apt! 😂

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.
Money can buy time, power and knowledge.

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
money rules the world bro, it's a very sad reality we must accept and normalize.

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.
True talk tbh
The guy no even understand the message sef

It’s true. Money is not everything. We need more than money. We need healthcare, love, friends, family, art, music, literature, education, mental and physical strength, confidence, and more.
Can't money bring almost everything you listed here?
Think again.
WHEN A MAN CLAIMS THAT MONEY DOESN'T BUY HAPPINESS, IT IS EITHER HE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH OR HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO SHOP.
Stop believing that lie. Money is everything especially in today's Nigeria.

Our poor parent who couldn't explain to us why they gave birth to us in poverty, had to tell us that lie in order to maintain their sanity. But must we tell same lie to our children if we really want them to grow and become rich? Absolutely NO!
IF YOUR CHILDREN EVER ASK YOU WHY YOU ARE NOT RICH, TELL THEM IT'S BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS LIED TO YOU THAT MONEY ISN'T IMPORTANT, BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LIE TO THEM. TELL THEM THE TRUTH AND SEE HOW THAT SHAPE THEIR MINDS FOR WEALTH.

Bro I learnt the hard way. Lost my marriage due to lack of enough finances a year ago bro. On the 21st of April to be precise my ex left with my two kids. They tell u love conquers all. It's money that does that bro. I thank God that I am in a better place now. Making 4 times what I did just a year ago. I am living my best life, comfortable n at peace with myself. I have no need to worry about finances. Am paying my kids school fees, monthly upkeep n other things without any stress. Paid my rent all at once for the first time in my life. Money good oooo. Money is good bro.
Poverty is bad; it makes people pretend BUT money brings out the real character of a person.

Money is for something
But not for everything.
Something greatly surpassed money.
The Bible comments and made a comparison

12  For wisdom is a protection just as money is a protection, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner. Ecclesiastes Chapter 7:12
And also
At same Bible book of Ecclesiastes 10: 1919  stated Bread is made for laughter, and wine makes life enjoyable; but money answers every need.
Money is important to some limit.

sonofsteven:
Money is not everything, but money can solve 80% of every one's needs

Money can't buy you life or good health, but Money can help you eat healthy to live healthy, Money can take you to the best hospital and any hospital you go to will treat you specially

Take a case of the vdm video about 3rd mainland accident victims, out of 50k for blood, they brought 40k,hospital refused and victims died, if na very important person or wealthy man,hospital go first treat am before payment because they know say him go pay more than enough... but Money can't buy you life, but Money can make you age well... poverty no good at all o
Exactly! 👌

chibuikejohn:
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?
Chief2410:
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.
Make una no mind them.

Let them keep living in self-deception. cheesy

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.
Still doesn't mean poverty is better than money

Celestialsword:
MONEY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HUMAN BEING TO FUNCTION BUT IT IS NOT everything in life

You will only know when you've gotten much of it

It's only the poor that thinks that money is everything because of their mental state of lack.

Money can buy you bed but can't buy sleep

Money can buy you a house but can't buy a home

Money can marry a beautiful woman but can't buy a happy family

If you are a slave to money,then you've sold your peace and happiness
Rather it is poor people who think money is not everything. They try ti justify why they don't have money.

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
When you get to that stage you'll understand... Not everything that needs explanation.

There is reasons why most billionaires end up philanthropist

You're wrong,rather,the poor sees many things they have effortlessly and the rich doesn't have or struggling to have it.

You are missing it here.

We are not taking of abject poverty here but an average person and a wealthy person

Abject poverty is a course

Money is not everything but it is almost everything. Yes, the importance of money cannot be over emphasized.

'Money is not Everything'', is an everlasting truism.

This does not imply that money is not important. Money solves many challenges/ problems but definitely not all challenges/problems.

Only a confirmed dullard would still find this to comprehend.

Our moral compass is gone indeed. We worship money and those who have it. A brief look around and you'll see the decadence.
Its so sad, to even misplace a phone now its as good as gone....

Comprehension = zero

Topic: Money answers EVERYTHING

Is health challenges part or EVERYTHING - Yes

Does money solve ALL health challenges - No

What is the colour of your problem
you lack understanding.

No body will even admit you if you fall sick and have no money. So invariably yes, money solves all health challenges.

If it's your time to go, you will go rich, poor, tall, short. That has nothing to do with money.

There are people in pitiable conditions in the hospital now because their case worsened and that's because no more money to further treatment, if they did, they would have gone home since.

Your country Nigeria refuses to invest in healthcare which requires a lot of money and that's why you may kpai in that local hospital because it is lacking a lot. Even good doctors need to be paid very well which requires money.

Ask yourself why doctors are leaving Nigeria to overseas, money!!!

I'd rather be rich and be able to treat myself should I fall sick than be dead broke like you and be hospitalized. Hellfire straight grin
