Money seems to be the driving force behind every action, motive, or desire. To me, money is a very inconveniencing and rather moronic invention. What is the point in money if we could more easily just trade things we own? There would be no need for currency transactions, virtually no inflation, and just a lot less hassle for people in general.
However, as things currently are, money is very important. It determines whether people live a life of poverty or luxury (obviously), whether people live healthily or not, whether people can afford things that make life easier, etc.
“How much is enough?” is an interesting question. I don’t think there is a set amount of money one needs to obtain to have “enough;” enough to sustain the lifestyle one wishes to have I suppose. It is simply in the eyes of the beholder.
The lack of money seems to make things very hard in life. Strike that – the lack of money does make things very hard in life. It makes for affording things like healthcare, shelter, and transportation difficult, and quite frankly, without financial support, most things both necessary and not in life are made not acquirable. In essence, most would like to say that money can’t buy one happiness. This may be true, but money can buy one things that make one happy, among other things. I believe it indirectly makes the world go round.
