  5. Money can buy everything in the world, only happines not. Behind much money there is always a lot of sin and lie. I don't need a false happiness on a price like this. You can have much money, but without love and health your life has no meaning...

  7. The money is a tool to achieve my goals. Some say that if you have money, you have everything you need. I do not think so. You can have a lot of money, but you are not happy. Can you buy many things with money, but you can not buy happiness, love, respect, never.

  10. For me money is a way to live. People have to work to earn money to have a little salary, to buy food, clothes, things what are necessary. But money doesn't make you happy every time.Money has a big role in our life, but you can't buy everything. For example: you can't buy health,love with money.

  11. My opinion is that money isn't everything.For me money is important,but only because I have to pay my studies and I want to help my parents too.When I was a child I thought that with money I can buy anything,but as I got older I realized that it isn't true. With money you can buy things but you can't buy the most important things in life,like love,peace,respect and many other things. So for me money is just an object what I use to buy other objects.

  12. For me money is a necessary evil. It helps me acquire the material things that life is requesting from us, like food, clothing, medicine.

  13. I think that money is important,because without money you can't survive.You need money to buy food,to pay the rent and many other things.But I also know that with money you can't buy happiness and feelings.For me money is a thing I need to live,but if I could get things(food,clothes) without money I won't miss it.

  17. The fact that I have money is a bit like I am blond-it's fun but not vital.
    If you do everything for money,you will not succeed.
    Money is like the feet or the hands.You use it or lose it.
    Money saves us from doing what we don't like.

  19. I think the money means for everybody something else.
    There are more concepts about the money, and nobody can say that his or her
    opinion is the best. My observation is that if you don’t have money, and some relationship whit important people, you can’t do anything. You can try but it is really hard, and you have to be really intent and at the first time you have to be optimistic and realistic at the same time.
    My opinion is that, if you have money doesn’t mean that you have all what you need, but can mean that you can allow yourself things that without money you couldn’t.

  20. If money could bring happiness all the rich people would be happy, but, unfortunately it’s not like that really. Money brings you benefits, sometimes a little bit of peace of mind but not happiness. Who dreams money is the slave of them!

  21. money isn't everything but unfortunately for the most of the people money is important. the money cant bring you all that you need but it can bring you a big part of what you need.
    in my opinion today we can buy nearly everything with money.

  22. I believe that unfortunately money is everything nowadays. It can give you a beautiful and glamorous life. But there are things that money cannot buy . One of them is health. Money is important for every person. If you don’t have money you cannot have a decent life. I agree that money can offer you a position in society but it cannot make the others respect you. There are a lot of rich people who don’t have class because money cannot provide this and it cannot provide education or common sense.

  23. Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail.
    If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can't buy because money is a token of exchange that facilitates trade.

  24. About Yoyo's comment I can say that I really don't agree with him...Maybe three years ago I would, but now I know that if you have money you can't buy a friend, in fact that is what he meant, because I have true friends who have a lot or few money and they are still my friends and I treath them the same, I do not make any difference by choosing the one who has money istead of the other one.

  25. First of all money can satisfy material needs but not happiness.In my opinion money is necessary for everyday in our life.It is a value with which you can buy clothes,food and you can pay your bills.In our days 80% of our life is influenced by this value.The lack of money is the cause why the economic failure slarted.

  26. Great story! I like it because it’s so true …
    Money isn't everything. Money won't get you a Mother's love. Money won't make you intelligent. Money won't make you hard working. Money just puts food on the table and a roof above your head.
    Happiness is not defined by money.

  27. I think that the way we earn and spend our money tells a lot about who we are and what we consider important in life. In itself, money is neither good nor bad, but how it is applied to each aspect of life can alter the course of it. It can buy power, fame, lifestyle, sex, independence, shelter, food, consumables, luxury, employment, liberty, security and many other requirements of modern-day living.
    A person who sees money as only a means to satisfy needs will be relaxed and more benevolent than one who craves money for providing self-worth, security or power.

  28. Money can buy funny moments but not time. Money can buy superiority but not respect. Money can buy persons but not parents or children. I think money should not influence too much a person life.

  29. Money is not everything what matters in this life.
    Money can buy friends, but can't buy trust.
    Money means different things, for each people, some people don't even look at you if you aren't rich, but they are things what are more important than money, like real friends, health, family.Money can't buy this.

    Money can buy you computer,but not skill to use it.
    Money can buy you pets,but not appreciation to them.

    Money can buy you only materials and "advantages" but not human values.

  31. Money is just a motivation to keep us moving forward as humans. If we didn’t pay researchers, do you think they would be so eager to find cure for diseases .If we didn’t pay doctors do you think they would waste their time treating you.
    This is the real world !

  32. Or YES money is happiness, money is freedom, with money you can help other, raise a family, support your family, go on vacation, take your family out to dinner, have a nice home, support your parents, give gifts, donate to charity, buy yourself a gift, ...money is happiness, security and protection.

  33. For me happiness is waking up in the morning and loving what I get to do for a living. We chase different things in life of course money is essential, but it isn't everything .But many people think :
    ’’Money indirectly buys happiness. You can not prosper in Romania without money. It is not a solution to everything but it is simply naive to think that it does not buy happiness.Humans cling to tangible objects of value. In our case it is money. ’’

  34. For me money is like a magnifying glass,it will increase the intensity of everything.If we are miserable then it will increase the misery.If we are happy then,whith money,we will have more ways to experience happiness.

  35. For me money are some papers that we use to buy everything and for some people,unfortunately,even their happiness.Even many people dont want to admit money makes people different and if they have money they think they are very important and that nothing can touch them.For me money is something that destroyed people thinking and their happiness.Now nothing can make us truly happy because we allready have seen to much.

  36. Money is not simply money. Money represents power, love, joy, and much more. Money plays an important role in all our lives; For me money is just a necessity. I need/want just enough money to meet life’s basics needs. I also think of it as a way to help reach my goals.To other’s money means freedom and independence ,but it also means security .

  41. After all, money is only a tool, a way to buy something.
    Unfortunately, nowadays, money tends to become a sign of power, replacing the true intellectual and moral values.

  42. There is a proverb:
    "Money does not bring happiness, but maintain it !"
    Indeed, money does not make us better, happier and more intelligent, but
    when financial condition is very poor, some problems may occur.

  43. We need money for living, to buy clothes, food, to ensure scholarship to our children, but in the same time it brings sadness and misery because people become envious to those who have more. Unfortunately we can't change these facts.

  44. In my life money is not everything but I can`t survive without money because the survival of the society is based on goods,like food,house,close...,which can be bought with money.Some people say that money is not everything.Yes,I agree with them,but money is almost everything.

    ReplyDelete
  45. My opinion is that those people who put the money in the center of their life
    can became slaves of money.
    Those people who are concentrated just to collect the money and they want to have more and more, can’t enjoy it.
    Those people who are thinking that they can resolve all the problems with the money
    are wrong, because there are some problems that can’t be resolved just by money.
    Those people who want a lot of money, always more than they actually own, will never get them because they don’t know what means the word “ enough ”.
    Those people who are thinking that if they are rich they are more valuable than a poor person, are wrong.

  49. Many people have the idea that if only they had more money, all of their problems would disappear. Well, some problems might go away. They probably would not have to worry about paying the phone bill, but that does not mean that they would be happy.

  50. For me money means only a necessity for proper life, and a way to live every day, buying food...naturaly.
    In many families the quarrels are for the money. I know a proverb "love of money is the root of all evel"
    If someone loves money better than his own life, then he will do anyting to have more and more money.
    Where is lot of money, there is no happinessand peace of mind.
    I prefer to have less money, and be happy, than with lot of money and unhappy.

  51. I agree with Marczika Reka.In our society you can`t survive without money,you can buy material things and yes,money is very important in our life,but I remind you Reka the human values.You can`t buy people with money,expecially people who have faith and honor.

  52. For me money is everything and nothing. If we have a fortune we have headaches .
    If we do not have money we have a big problem. So I think that money is something that destroyes people thinking and their happiness but we need money to live.

  53. Money is very important but it is not everything. We can't live without money because everything has its own price. Even if we have a lot of money, it's possible to be unhappy.We can buy just material things, not feelings and love.

  54. A very important and rich person was proud about his richeness and belived that he was invincible and nothing in the world could distroy him. One day, when his only son died in a terrible accident, he realised that money can't buy life.

  55. We often hear that money isn't everything, money can't bring you happiness, they can't make you love someone only because he/she has money. But let's be honest and say loud that nowadays money IS EVERITHING, because we work for money, we live for money and we die for money, because if you don't have money you're nobody!!!

  56. Some say that money shouldn't be one of the golf balls in anyone's life ,but even if we admit it or not,it sometimes orders it.They can have a big influence especially on those with weak character like the unsecure teens,but also on unqualified,bad-paid,or displeased people.But whatever you are or aim to be you should always remember that money isn't the key to happiness.

  57. The way you can buy friendship with money is by having a lot of money and buying your friends gifts and other things.But this kind of friendship is just an illusion,it's false because the friends you make like this don't care about you,they only love your money.

  58. I agree with you mamaruta.Teens and unsecured people can easily be influenced by money and by many people who make them do anything for money.This is why many teens stole and kill for money,they believe that money will make everything good for them.This is a very sad thing.

  59. It`s true that in today`s world you can`t survive without money, because you need money for everything. If you have family, you have to support them but you have to teach your children that money doesn`t mean everything. I think the only way we estimate our things if we earn the money for it ourselves.

  60. Money can't bring you happiness,but in life money is an important element to survive,without money you can't study,eat,because you need money for everything,with money you can buy material things,but love,feelings,health,you can't buy.In conclusion,money is important in life,but not the most important,they can't bring you happiness and health.
