If money isn't the most important thing, then what is?

Everyone knows why money is very important. The question is whether it is the most important thing.



I don't think you understand. Money is the easiest and quickest and sometimes the only way to get what you want. That is why it is the most important.

I don't need to justify it any further. This thread is about reasons why something else might be more important which you have not been able to argue. First you mentioned family, then people in general and now "other options" which I am dying to know what you mean by that...



Yeah cos we all know kids cost nothing... I'd love to hear how you've managed to live up to this point without money seeing as it 'means nothing'.



Is people not hating you the most important thing? Cos if it is, money can achieve that.

Ok yes kids do cost a bit, but only nappies really and stuff. I mean you don't even have to by baby food you can make it at home. It's not like you have to pay for school now is it.
I've been brought up not costing a lot of money for my parents, but I've had simple clothes and simple food. I didn't take up a lot of their money. It depends on personal preference really how you bring them up, I.e if you take them on holiday every year then money is going to be needed

I see money as a facilitator to experiences. It might not bring happiness in and of itself, but it will lead to some sense of content if used in the right way.

As for me, my goals are more important than money. But I need money to meet my goals.

Ergo money is more important. Would you rather have goals but no money or money but no goals? Explain your choice.

No. That's not my point. What I meant is, no one will hate you if there's nothing bad you intend to do; the latter is what matters. You might disagree with me saying someone will hate you because you do something right; I don't care about such people, and it's better to maintain minimal contact with them - only when they need you, or you need them.

My choice would be the goals. Plenty of money is out there to be both made and lost, I don't particularly place a huge personal value on it.

Interested to know your views. If you think something is more important, please explain how this can be achieved without money and whether or not money helps to achieve it.

Happiness. Being content with your life.
The saying "Money isn't everything" is both true and untrue. To be happy in life you need money. You can't be happy without money and that is a fact. Many people can argue against but that's the reality. Can you really be happy with no money? Let;s be honest, no.
However, there are many people with money who aren't happy so why aren't they happy? Well, personally I believe it's because of greed. Too much money can make you selfish resulting in unhappiness.

To be happy, you need money to be settled, but with that you need to have a clean heart, care for one another and then you will achieve the most important thing in life and that's HAPPINESS!

Would you rather have kids and no money or money but no kids?

Money is the motive

How else am I going to build my own gold plated mansion?

And die eventually, what's the point

Therefore money is more important since without money you can't be happy. Otherwise I agree with everything you said.

Kids and no money
You?

I guess you're right; I suppose money is the most important thing to lead to happiness! Sad that the reality is that money is the most important thing but thats life..
