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

I stick to it: money is useless without health, especially I am lying in my deathbed without being able to move a body part. Have seen some people in this condition because of cancer. I am sure they would give me a ****ing **** to money. Those people are struggling and suffering, with and without money. Healthy people have the chance to change their life at least, people who are deathly ill have this not.

Money is the only thing that can help you in that case. You'd want to die in a good setting with excellent care would you not? Tell me how you'd imagine this scenario with zero money?

You are repeating yourself. If I would ever get cancer, I would spend the rest of my days in the wild, lying under a tree. And if the pains are too bad, I shot myself into my heart with a pistol (if I have the power to do that). If I am going to die, I would try to get rid the shitty humans of. I decided to die alone, basta. Dying is pathetic, excellent care overrestimated.

I have no reason to believe what you would do in a hypothetical scenario. I also doubt that you would have the same mentality as you do now if you did indeed become terminally ill.

I repeated myself because you have still not answered my question. I'll try for the third and final time:

Is it better to live a long and healthy but destitute life with constant struggle and suffering or to live a short life in happiness despite being very ill towards a premature death?

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.

In terms of my own, I need a miracle to change my mentality.

To answer your question: a long healthy and destitute life. That fits to my attitude and it is closer to my life story.

Happiness, being content, satisfied, joy. I'd be wonderfully happy if I was living somewhere small and humble in the countryside with someone I loved very much. I'd probably write and paint and read. I'd be more than happy with such a life, but it is very subjective.

Family? Friendship? Happiness? Success in your career? The most important thing in life is whatever you want it to be. Some things (luxuries) require a lot of money, most things (nice house, travel, etc) require some money. Some things don't really require money at all.

Okay, if money makes it possible to come to god-like power to destroy the mankind - or to get my died beloved brother back - I would appreciate the meaning of money. From this point of view, I would be more interest in money.

I guess the ultimate goal of money is to make you happy, this would put happiness over money.

Have just thought some steps further. You are trying to convince me that money is the most important thing to get happiness. Happiness died in me when I have lost everything what I liked. There is no sum of money which is able to heal my wounds from the past. Did you get it? I am afraid, you can't.

Living in the wild without humans is the best quality of life which I can imagine for myself.

If you don't like anything then of course you won't need money. But you say you would want to live in the wild, and I'm afraid that will cost money. Or do you think that there is some magical land that no-one owns where you can survive for free!

Well that's a very arbitrary point of view.

Tell me what doesn't require money at all?

Which would you prefer: having family or friendship with zero money, or money but no family or friendship?

If you needed one thing and one thing only, chances are money would solve it. Put another way, if you could keep one thing with you at all times in case you need it later I would choose money (if I need food I'm covered, if I get lost I'm covered etcetc). What would you choose?

That rather depends where I was. If I were in a foreign country I'd prefer to have a friend from there who spoke the language: indeed I've heard a lot of interviews with people who travel the world, and some of them have literally managed to go for weeks without money: they hitchhike, stay with friends/couchsurf etc. If I were in the wilderness or jungle I'd want a machete, money wouldn't be much help there. If I were in a warzone I'd want a gun for protection.

So yes, in summation, if I were in a built-up area of a peaceful first world country where people spoke English, as you presumably meant, then I would choose money, because in our society money is needed for most things.
