In reality money and power which shows the true color of a man?  Although this is a very simple topic but there is a more meaning to it as I have seen something which I can't believe with my eyes, that  propelled me to come create this topic which I would want us to throw more light on it, to know the one that really shows the true nature of a man.

Your inputs are indeed needed as I would want us to discuss this amicable.

Only for man? nah, it's also for woman.

Didn't you see if a male friendships is really vary, it could be from poor to rich and young to old. It's opposite with female friendships, it's either poor with poor, rich with rich, businesswomen with businesswomen etc.

Now to answer your question, money or power? rather than asking to fulfill your imagination, better to start grinding and aim both of them if you capable.

What type of nature are you talking about?

Power have to do with authorities and such authorities come with responsibility and rules guiding them, e.g some one welith an elected political power,  he/she will act according to the power of the office.

Money on the other hand is an economic commodity that five people access to services and goods, so we can poi t to how it actually revearl any nature of man.

Unless you are willing to elaborate more on what you are talking about as regards to nature  of money and power.

Thank you for your contribution, i didn't really mean for man alone, the question is for both women and men

Usually money and power seems to be the same thing for me, because when you give someone money or when they become successful you would know how arrogant they could be. Again, power is intoxicative they could definitely want to use their power to over will others especially exercising to the poor people, that is why whenever you really want to know whom humans is then give them power and money then you would know their true nature in life. However, this post doesn't only connotes of man rather from my view I sense it to be generally analyzing the both parties.

When talking about power, we can refers as political power, natural power and otherwise spiritual power and or natural power. All these has their influence in a man especially that of political power which deals with authority. Anyone with political power are most time too authoritative and can easily use their power to influence people around them.
Now when talking about the rest power be it spiritual power or natural power they could use them as something to backend themselves from any attack from people who may want to harm them.
When talks about money, well, it is one common thing that easily shows whom we are in our real life as many people can't control themselves when they have money they could be that aggressive and want to command whomever that comes across there way.

The issue about power can fall under any category, So I think you're illustration and explanation should be broadly explained because power mostly involves authority that's slated on on positions and leadership though it could fall ok other aspects too. And vividly power is being exercised by any gender both females and males are generally a point of view but how do they handle it in respect to money matters. Because power is mostly influenced by the involvement of money.

In the present time, money and power are both very tempting things. But I will give more importance to money among the two things. When you have money, you can do whatever you want and can face any kind of situation at any time. Because according to the current scenario, money is the main power. If you have money, you can do everything very easily. So I think between money and power, if you have money, you can consider yourself a powerful person.

Money and power are closely related and usually used to measure the success of a man. In some instances, money can be used to acquired power especially in some country where the highest bidder wins, although this does not happen in some countries. Similarly, it is very difficult to have power without having money because power can easily be used to get money. Therefore power is more important, it brings respect and make your voice an authority. Money is just one of the product of power.

Money and power intoxicate people, causing them to act differently from their former selves(behavior) to a different being you don't understand any longer. Although that's their true nature. That's why people say you won't fully know someone’s character when they have no money or power. It's when they have money or power that their true character will unfold toward others, making one wonder what really changes about someone they know before.

Some, but not all, can change because of the money or power they have(political power or leadership) to become arrogant, disrespectful, and inhumane to others because of the influence of the money and power they possess. They now feel untouchable, and authoritative because of that.

Power is the men's weakness. Many think they can control power and make it serve a good purpose, but after all, they end being manipulated and corrupted by it. Money here is just a path towards power, what means the final and main goal is to achieve influence and dominance, although men fail accepting the fact it's power which owns them after all!

Not necessarily a man but everybody. Lack has a way of hiding peoples true colors and certain behaviors because they cannot fund and maintain it which is why people are advised not to conclude on a person's personality until they have the money to fund their temptations. When it comes to power, without discipline as a human, people tend to misuse power to the detriment of others especially when they are also more buoyant than the people too.

Again people tend to believe that their friends  who got into power should not be accorded their due respect because of past relationships and those in power may only be exhibiting discipline and following due protocols while their friends who expects to always cut corners for them see it as though power intoxicates those in power, which is very bad.

They are both heavily intertwined and usually found in the same place. However anyone who has been in a few different workplaces or just observed from the environment around them, will know that a little bit of power can sometimes go to the head of some people. Meaning that as soon as they have a level of authority over someone, they might start to micromanage or demean others, but they were probably a pretty horrible person before they got the position. Money can do a lot of things and open some doors, but it will have it's limits - if for example you broke some laws, there is irrefutable evidence against you and you're in a country with a pretty solid justice system - then even the best lawyer would not be able to keep you out of jail.

Which of the two do you have? Money or power? Either of them matters and in all thy getting, get as much of both both as you can because where one can't save you, another will save you.

Money answered all thing but power makes it easier for money to be effectively used for the things that might seems hard. Being desperate for both money and power is a bad thing but if you have the means to get both of them it's still good. Mere saying that one is better than another does not in any way change anything about the relevance of money and power.

I think both money and power reveal the true identity of a person. When a person owns more money, he will also gain power at some point. It is true that when someone gets money and power, if there is a negative aspect in it, it can come back very quickly. However, when there is money, greed generally works more in people. They tend to be arrogant. But when a person gets power, if he does not accept it as a negative but considers it as a positive, then something good will definitely be possible with it.

Why didn't you relate the title to a better explanation, in what essence are we comparing money and power. Both money and power are important, but it depends on where they are being exercised. Generally or how in my own reasoning, in this present time, money is very relevant wherever we find ourselves, i feel like money is the power everybody desires to have. People aspire for power so they can be able to control money just like what our government do, the reason for power is so they can extort without being held, keeping both to pick from, i will choose money as much important.

This is something of thought really because many people can be changed when they have this two in their lives. Initially, a man might hide his true colour and identity because of its limitations to access to somethings like money and power, but just when they get the chance to become one, their true inner self becomes obvious and you’ll see their true colours. Some will say, they’ve changed because they now have money and power but in the real sense, that is who they are and they just needed the presence of money to show themselves. Humans don’t change their attitudes and behaviours, it is the presence of something that ignites it to show their true self.

If you really have to pick one, then you are doing wrong anyways. You need it all. You need power, you need money, you need to be smart, wise, hard working, all of it. If you want to succeed in life, you can't just sit and be best at one thing, but lack something else.

If you do, then you need someone else that can do that part for you. I have worked hard to master myself in everything, outside of time (I am always running behind on my work) I am quite good at it, so I need better organizing. But at the same time, it gave me a proud life to be happy about it. This is why things are important when you do it all by yourself. You are going to end up with some good results, and that is why you should be careful about it.

Money and power are like two sides of a coin for me, because with money comes power and with power comes access to money or people who do have the money to support.

Seeing that we can't all have both money and power at same time, it creates a division in the society and that's where classification of the citizens into rich, average or poor class comes in, with the man with the power being in control of everyone.

For me, power is the most important thing. Because if you have power, it is very easy to earn money. But it is not possible to get power just by having money.

For example: A doctor who has the power to perform surgery. He can earn a lot of money through his work. But a patient who has a lot of money but has no idea about surgery. So what will he do with that money?

So for me, power is more important than money.

Having a huge sum of money makes you a powerful man, so it should be both. If not, if you don't have the money, then it's hard for you to gain that power as well. Money is always the ultimate goal, because that will certainly bring power in you, most especially if you want to gain influence for personal needs and desire. While both are undeniably as important as each other, we should not be blinded by greed with money and power.

Live a simple and peaceful life. Live a good life.

Both shows the nature of a man and these are two things that goes hand in hand,  you cannot have power or influence and broke,  it doesn't work. Money is an amplifier of a man's true character and power they say corrupts those that are already have their mental state prepared to comprise to do things that would be of benefit to them alone. To answer this question both money and power are important because they are connected, powerful men are rich men and rich men are also powerful, it is as simple as that. They both can bring out a person's true character

To me, i would say that the both shows the true color of a man because if you don't have money it is assume that you don't have power. The thing is I don't really understand the kind of power you're talking about, if it's the energy to fight your enemies I think that won't be necessary but having money is more necessary than that power because if you have money you will be guided where ever you are people won't allow any harm to fall upon you. You should know how this rich people it's being treated, most of them does not even have this type of power you're talking about but the money they have is playing the role for them, so If you ask me I would say that money is more important than power.

Both are important. If you have money, you have power, and you can buy almost everything. There is a saying that everything has a price tag, so if you have cash, nearly everything is attainable.

If you have power, especially that power comes from a position like a government position, you'll have money coming in. Take a look at politicians in our country; they come to office as poor people and they come out as wealthy because of stealing people's funds.

So if you have money, you have power, and if you have power, you have cash; if one comes first, the other will follow.

Maybe share what you have seen so we can understand more and discuss what you are trying to ask. What do you mean money and power shows the true color of a man? Do you mean a man when he has money and power will show his true colors?Or do you mean that since men worship money and power, their true colors show when they want to acquire said power.

I think both money and power are important. If one is there, the other will come. Money fulfills the basic needs of people. If someone has money, he is financially independent and can take any decision very quickly. On the other hand, power is the exclusive right to make decisions among all. If one has power, any difficult task can be done very easily. However, many times people become dictatorial to maintain their power. They easily take away the rights of others because of their power. Those who can maintain a balance between these two are remembered in society. Therefore, making decisions in the light of morality, humanity and knowledge should be the goal of an ideal wealthy person.

What if money gives you the position to have that power? So it means to say that both are giving that importance for a person.

But if I'll have to choose, I'd be fine with money and let just power don't drag into me. I might abuse it and that's why self disciplining myself is already okay by having money.

I can do a lot of things on it already and it's what a man needs for having the basic needs. I won't be abusing it if I've got so much money because it will also give me so much power, right?

A man with no money and power is never a real man, that is slowly getting the same with women on the other hand. That is why if you were to ask me which one hits the most, I would always say both. You can't live without money, and in some instances, you can't live without power even if its a biased one.

Money even gives you the power to control and navigate the people, that is why mostly our country's leaders make sure they have enough wealth on their bank accounts before they will aim to rule the country, to lead the people.

In my country there was a huge curroption that is going on right now, and huge amount of money was stolen by officials, and even though we know that something is missing and somthing is wrong on the flood control projects and is going on, there was still no one got jailed even though we already know who some of the people who stole the money. I really like the saying that money doesnt change you, but it just shows your true color, so in my opinion, I mean, it's just a really simple topic, it just shows who you are when you finally have the power and money. I can sample our politicians when they get the vote and start getting that power, they think that they can do everything, or they can get away with everything.

I mean, we see a lot of it on crypto since we know that greed is a huge thing in the market, and even though we already earn a good or a fair amount, we sometimes want more and are gonna end up losing everything sometimes. I think money and power have a connection to greed, this just means that money and power probably is the key to awaken the greed on everybody, I think when the more a person get more money, the more he wants more money, thats why we see a lot of people started to gamble more when they are already earning a huge amount or probably they just didnt stop risking it anymore until they get more and more of it. That's just really the intention.

It's just a huge bait for every person. I think all of the people are going to get tempted by money and power, and there is always going to be a possibility of getting corrupt at some point. I think it wasn't normal because I've seen some people who never give in on it, but I think a lot of people are falling into the temptation, which is why most people think that when you get money and power, you're surely gonna fall and get corrupt at some point. It doesnt mean that most of the people do it, it doesnt mean that it's normal.

I can also means about humanity so it's both portrays man and woman.

IMHO, you're right. Money and power are important but if we just want to live a simple life, money is all that matters and let the power who does enjoys it. Because if you're a lowkey person and have got that money, you've got the freedom that a person might want to have. It's true that power is entitlement and if someone is chasing for that, it's all that they need to have for themselves.

In our society, those who are financially independent can become powerful very easily, they do not have to struggle much because low-income people are always ready to flatter them. By donating to leaders and activists, they always get various benefits, if caught, they also become powerful. Political campaigns, lobbying, social control and economic dominance all require money. People already respect more if they have money. Between power and money, money will prevail because it is not possible to achieve power without money.

The two are important to humans, but the one people cherish most is money because with money you can control someone that have power, with money your family can be establish worldwide because the resources they need to acquire any kind of assets they want are there for them to fetch to become wealthy, there is no guarantee that you will be wealthy through power because there are laws that governed every country that will make you not to use your power to take over someone investments in the country, to me, I will prefer money because money is like tool these days using to fight any kind of challenges that will arise.

I think it depends on the personality of each person, not the gender.


I also have many childhood friends or friends who have studied together for a long time. But many of them have also changed significantly when they became rich, and they hardly want to communicate or maintain relationships with old friends who are still poor. On the contrary, my wife's friends or my sister, they also have rich friends, poor friends and they play with each other very equally and fairly. There has been no discrimination or major gap between them over the years.


But there’s one truth I’ve noticed, only poor people are willing to hang out with all kinds of people from different social classes, while rich people tend to hang out with rich people. It is rare that rich people like to hang out with poor people.

Both money and power are of immense importance in every person's life. Every person has to make the right decision in every field of life and if he has power then he will be able to make the right decision in his life and will be able to spread his influence. If a person has power, he can bring positive changes in his work, family and social fields. Power reveals a person's values, influence and sense of justice. So just as power plays an effective role in fulfilling our goals, money helps us to sustain our lives. Without money, we cannot fulfill our basic needs. So power is needed to fulfill our goals in life and money is needed to make the basis of life.

Power is important because in society if you have power usually the people will be more respect for you but do not forget too money is important too even for some people having money is everything because with money they can buy anything they want besides that usually the people in society will be more respect to the rich people rather than poor people that's why if you want to gets power in society having money is necessary because money can control the people and in my opinion both are important but if you have money automatically you will have the ability to became an the person who considered have power in the society

To answer your question, we know very well the answer is money. Money shows the true nature of a man, then power comes in because when there is money there is power. You have the authority to command. Without money your power doesn’t stand, there will be no respect of your authority because it will seem of no ground. But with money, you have power basically over so many things.

For general question money is most important than power, but when you become a businessman both side really important not only about the money but also the power, based on what happening in my country many top businessman have much money entering to the politic get more powerful to secure their business. Having money only for top and success businessman is not enough yet how to protect their business but they really need power by entering to politic, nowadays you can see many businessman spent out much money helping the politician get more powerful how to make their business keep securing.

You have money only as businessman you can't protect well with your business project, many top business get difficult with their project without have power to protect their business. So better if you are not businessman having money only is important but after becoming businessman you must have both money and power.

These two things are inseparable, Usually people with power have money, but sometimes there are people who have both.
For me, the most important thing is power With it we can build relationships to earn more money.
However, to be respected by others, we cannot be arbitrary with our power or money Instead, we must have something to give to others so that we can be valued and respected.

Now we have different types of power ,
(1)We have spiritual power, spiritual power allowed one to have control over the spiritual aspect
2) personal power is required in every individual activities, which is the ability to do work
 
Organizational power/ political power, once an individual is been appointed or giving these type of powers,it brings out the real nature of men/women making person arrogant and rude
Money:is an e essentials thing which everyone needs in surviving once one is giving money they act so authoritatively and then acting  differently from there normal behavior,

Then question is money and power which one brings out the Ture colors of humans

There is a considerable difference between a powerful person like me and a wealthy person, the two things are almost equal. The one who has power can do everything and can make money by showing power, while the one who has more money can overthrow a powerful person. In that case, I think that if a person has a lot of money, then he can definitely remove a powerful person from power if he wants, because spending more money will make the public his own, and will force him to oppose the powerful person. So I think that everything is possible with money. If you have a lot of money, you can quickly become a powerful person. You don't have to wait for others, so the one who has more money can become a powerful person.

I understand with this context, having possessions with a high level of need from others will give a true color to human character in terms of money and influence (power) once they have it.

Not least in the example of politics, every time there is an election, officials behave well to the community and speak sweetly, but when they have got the seat of power, their nature and character are different because they already have it, they will not be as sweet and caring as before the election was over.

Then in talking about money, those who don't have money before can be polite and not do much because they realize that they don't have the power to move people's hearts or buy whatever they want, but when they have a lot of money they will be arrogant, their character will change, not like before and feel superior to anyone, especially from people whose economy is below their level.

There are those who remain good and true to their word whether in the possession of power or money, but I think such people are very few.

It is clear that money and power will clarify the nature of a person whether male or female, that's for sure, this does not mean it has a negative connotation, not a few people who are given power or money become arrogant, proud, haughty or other negatives, but there are also many people who become better, more caring and some do not change at all and live life as usual.

It would be nice for someone to be better and want to be better whether they have wealth or not and whether they have power or not, as a form of human being who understands the manners of a smart, educated and wise human being.

If someone has one of these two things, a person's true nature will be visible, for example with money. A person who previously didn't have a lot of money, even if it was possible to survive, still had to struggle, but a situation made him have a lot of money, even if he could survive in the long term, here you will see what his true character is like, even when he has a lot of money, he can rule easily with the help of the money he has and yes, the phrase "we have money, therefore we have power" is true.

You are very correct on this because I have witnessed a family brother who was made an acting LGA Chairman, and a little change was made in his life and, all of the sudden he change and I began to see his true nature. Like this person in question is someone whom we usually seat together and relates things about life but when he was opportune and was made LGA acting Chairman every thing changed and I wasn't that chanced like, free to see him as usual. One thing I have learned there is that, whomever you could be relating well with or grooving with when they receives any little life changing opportunity they can as well seized all access you had to them before, So money and power brings out the true color of a human.

Well definitely there's a possibility if someone have an opposite experience, just like you.

People who became rich have sacrifice many thing including their old/real character, they change their character which make them became rich. I mean, you can't be rich for being kind, but you have to being kind in front of people and see any possibility to earn from the relationship.

Poor people want to hangout with all kinds of people simply because they have more time than the rich, they use their time for chit-chat.

In reality, money and power can often make people look strange. Especially if a person gets power, his behavior becomes very different and he considers himself a great leader so that people respect him. But there are some powerful people who do not behave like this, but if they get power, their behavior becomes much more obvious and beautiful. Moreover, if a low-class person becomes the owner of a lot of money very quickly, he claims himself to be very big. The behavior of all these people changes a lot and they behave very badly with the poor, so money and power can take people to a level that is beyond imagination. So we should never show money and power, it will not be there oneday, so just because you have money and power, you should not treat everyone badly.

Both of these factors can define a man. Man in the sense of sex because they are ascribed to men as to being a powerful man or being a rich man. So therefore I believe the both play same role in men's life. If for example as a man you get elected into a political office and your character change, people say it is the power that is influencing the person's character. That's why they say "power intoxicates and absolute power corrupts absolutely" according to Lord Action. As a man with political power, if you start behaving arrogantly, abusive and disobeying laws people ascribe that to be the real behavior of the person. Likewise, if you suddenly become rich and have a negative character unlike what you were known with before, the general believe is that the wealth status is the realistic behavior of such person. So this is why I conclude that the two factors if power and money influence the character of a person or shows the realistic character of a male.

Not always, and I think this applies not only to men but to everyone, including women.
Money and power can indeed be factors that encourage someone to show their true colors, but isn't it true that everyone has different traits and behaviors? I think so.

For example, if someone has a strong social spirit and likes to share kindness, then power and a lot of money can strengthen their traits and behaviors. For example, their sharing of kindness becomes more significant, such as helping the poor. The power they possess can also make it easier for them to realize their intentions to do good, right?

So, money and power can indeed reveal a person's true colors, but it also depends on their traits and behaviors. If they are very kind, wouldn't that benefit many people in need? Yes.

Technically, money and power are the same because i can't see how one can exist without the other..what makes someone powerful other than money? If I had to choose between I would say money is more important though, because with it you can get access to power or influence...it's easy for people to get carried away easily when they start making money, it takes self control to be humble and disciplined

The thing is that the two work together but there is one difference which is a Powerful man can be a man without money too based on charisma and influence while a wealthy can exercise power through the influence of his money so in essence I think I will go for the statement which say "MONEY IS AN ENTITY THAT AMPLIFIES THE CHARACTER OF A MAN"  because money can make a man seek for power to control and rule which later on can bring changes to the way he is being viewed in the society.

Money and power do not distinguish between men and women both are equal when faced with money that can create power, and conversely power can also bring money. The question of true color is not something that can be generalized. The current situation is the same even women can be cruel if they have money and power in their hands.

Power is the Architecture that has the required elements or components to use either for intimidating others or even acting like someone who can bend the law on there favour, so because of this factors and privileges that associates with power it should be the highest influence to someone's nature, the reason why power could do that more than the person with only money is that power mostly come in dual capacity because people that has power also has money that backed them up so is not that somebody will only have power but do not have money, so anybody that has all of this and still humble as they are before wasn't a fake or someone that discusses.

In actual reality, money is power, because when you have a lot of money, you basically have the power to do anything you want. Whether people accept it or not, the truth is that you can buy anything with money in this world, no matter what it is, if you throw a lot of money on the table, no one will refuse to give you what you want. Those who have connections, which is considered a source of power, are all wealthy people. Have you ever seen a person with a mediocre life and a 9 to 5 job to have connections that make them so powerful? No, it's the people who are wealthy who have those connections.

You can't have any sort of power if you don't have money. You will rarely find a person who has no money but connections or friends who would do anything for them, but this world works on the rule of give and take, so if people do things for you, they expect you to do things for them as well, and if you don't have money, you can't do that, unless you have so many powerful friends that you use them to get any work done, but that's a rarity.

In my opinion, they are two different things but closely related and can transform into each other.

You can choose either, as you can buy power with money or with a lot of money. On the contrary, you will also easily earn a lot of money if you have power in your hands, because then people with money will come to you to exchange.

That reality is best reflected in politics, those who are poor but lucky enough to become politicians, they will quickly become rich. This is common in third countries. In contrast, in developed countries, the rich can buy power.

Yeah, money and power are highly interlinked. With money, you can buy power and with power, you can easily earn money. I guess that there cannot be any exception for this interlinking of money and power in third countries or in tier1 or tier2. When it is coming about politics, dirty things are happening in all types of countries. You may agree or not, what current some President is doing with cryptocurrencies are definitely misusing of power for obtaining money.

Personally, I believe that I need both money and power. Power may not possible for individual like myself but earning money is a definite possibility and I am already working hard on that. Bitcoin must be in biggest support for me to achieve my dream of making wealth.

Whatever power you mean or have in mind, the presence of money will lead you to power. Having money means your voice will be heard, but when you don't have money, nobody is even ready to listen to you. Money is very important, and if you want to be powerful, you must earn it to gain the power you desire. In the world we find ourselves in today, money and value are in control. Since money is what everyone is looking to and relying on, whoever has it abundantly is powerful. In today's politics, it takes having money to be relevant and gain a political position because money plays a significant role in modern politics.

Money will show the true color of a man. Money can make people follow those who have money. Money can also make people change. But if you think more, power can show too because he can force other people to follow what he wants although he doesn't have money. But money and power can make someone arrogant.

Perhaps you can tell what you see. That makes us know what it's all about.

You're correct because there is a saying in my local that every wealthy man's statement is seen as the truth but when a poor man speaks, his speeches are not valued and people will not see it as anything because he has nothing to offer financially, so to a very large extent, money give power and make the voices of the people that has it to be heard, in the world presently, many people worship money, they do not want to know how any one made their money whether is ill gotten money from fraud or whatever illicit business they do, what they know so that, the person is rich and he automatically gains their respect, so money is power, I have seen a man that single handedly sponsored a governor in my country, immediately the governor won the election, he came directly to ask the man speaks what he want and yo know what, the governor helped him to become a house of representative member in my country and that was how he became a politician overnight, so I don't think anyone is right if they say money is power.

Everyone may have different views on this matter, some say that money is more important than power, because if you have money, you can buy power, influence, and even the loyalty of others. but on the other hand, there are also those who argue that power is more important than money, because with power, you can get money, loyalty, and other things that will also come.

But I think it's not which is more important, but how a person uses it. there are people who have power, but because someone has money, they immediately bow down before them. but there are also people who have money, but overnight their wealth is lost by officials who have power. so we can see that the two are actually almost equal.

Have you ever seen someone who has power but no money? Honestly, I've never seen anyone like that.

As some people have said, money and power are closely related, those who have money are those who have power and those who have power will certainly have a lot of money. They always go together and are hard to separate.

So both can awaken and expose the true face if someone possesses them. That is true and applies to everyone, including us.
We often criticize and blame politicians for being corrupt and evil, but I bet if we were them, we would be just like them. Money and power will change people or make them reveal their true nature.

Your topic says money and power which is important but in your context you put them together, so if I can get you correctly you already expressed that they are inseparable. There is no way you can describe how powerful someone is without including money. Both money and power can change a man and also reveal his true nature. A poor man thinks he is humble until he makes his first millions

Money and power are like mirrors of the self, when someone gains wealth or a position of power, their true colors often show. Some become arrogant, haughty, and even use their position to control or oppress others, but this isn't always the case some people actually become better when given wealth and power, they use it to help others and positively impact those around them.

I reckon what you've said, these two are inseparable. If someone has power, he can get money and if someone has money, he can be in power.
So that it means why the two are indivisible and they both come together if a person has any of them, it makes them with both status that anyone can have if they are aiming for any of it.

This is true, but real people doesn't take advantage if they get in power and have money.

Both power and money have a way of knowing the real nature of a person,it's  been handle in a different way.
‎When a man has made money, it exposes his true identity, the way he spend it, how he treat people who don't have, and whether his going to allow the money to control him.
‎Do you know that, there are people that stay generous and kind irrespective of how rich they are, some people turn out to become arrogant and even start looking down on people, money shows a man true color.
‎But power doesn't just reveal your value but it's shows your character, A person that is in power can control others and make  decision that can affect other people's lives, power can make you command respect or people to fear you.
‎So the way he make use of the power whether to serve or oppress shows his true self.

‎

In my own opinion and with what had experienced the both of them are equally going the same direction. But what I want you to understand here is that money and power does not change human character but it only show us the true character of that particular person. In this life you will come across some people or an individual who you grown up with and you will admire his behavior but if he is tested with money or power you can see a lot of changes, those changes are not from the money or power but they help in bringing out the true character of the particular person. for example if someone is humble and have money and his humble ness continue this shows that particular person is a humble human being and nothing can change that from him because that's his character.

Money and power are both important, but if we look at certain things, it seems that power is more important than money in some aspect. That is, if we are talking about leaders like presidents and others power ranks higher peopless.like presidents can give some orders that, no matter how rich someone may be, the person can never give same other and people to obey. For that reason, I think power is more important than money. And to know the level of power that is why even rich people are looking for it no matter how rich they may be,if i will say it because of power that people are looking for that is reason why they are even going higher to make the money so they can also have the power to give orders.

Money and power are intertwined. Hey, this is where we're trying to get a clear understanding and a clearer perspective.
Men are leaders, regardless of gender equality. A man's self-esteem lies in his ability to face the hardships of life, even if he can only say "strong" when he's at his lowest point.
In a family, a man will find it easier if his partner can interpret his hard work with appropriate service. For women, perhaps their true colors lie in money. Lol.
With a lot of money, their true selves will be visible, even if they're hidden.

I also agree with this. I think those who have money, they automatically have power, because money has the power to do anything. If you are wealthy, you are powerful, and the whole world will run behind you and give you respect and everything, but if you don't have money, no one will be interested in having contacts with you or be around you because they know you are good for nothing. Your skills, social friendliness, and all other things can't give you power in society, but only money can do that.

We should look around for a minute, and we will see clear living examples of this. Those who are in power are all wealthy people, they have all that power only because they have wealth, and wealthy people tend to become friends with other wealthy people, so it's like a chain. They are give each other power, because if I'm wealthy and I'm your friend, I will get anything done for you if you say, and vice versa.

I agree with you because both money and power are important. When we go to do something, we must have the power to do that thing. Power does not only mean leadership. The ability to do something can also be called power. And if there is no power to do something, then it will not be possible to move forward in life. And we earn money with our power. Again, our power increases because of this earned money. So power and money are important in life because without power, there will be no power to work and without the ability to work, it will not be possible to earn money.

From an evolutionary standpoint, it is the man who must prove he has amassed value in the form of resources. And that makes sense, even though it does not seem fair to all the men in this world. But the woman must prove she has is necessary to the man, other than being some sort of add-on which brings nothing to the table and is only along for the "free ride".  We both have things we must prove and achieve otherwise finding an ideal partner is hard.

Both money and power changes man, if you really want to know or see the true colour of a man give him any of the two power or money, power are of different classes, there is political power, military power, community leaders or spiritual power any of these can change a man if in position, a man can be humble when he has no money and power and become arrogant when he has made much money or elected as a political leader, but there are still men who remain who they are humble as before even when they have money or are on power.

I understand what you are saying and I agree Money and power show the true nature of a person. i would like to add one more thing, if we have money and power ee give another person as same respect as we have. Then the difference between us in money and power will disappear. An ordinary person has the same rights as a person who has both money and power. We see many people who also have money But they don't give priority to money, Even they dedicating it to poor peoples. They know that money isn't everything They are not fond of showing off. While there are some people who consider money to be their true essence, that People are just never happy in their lives. that person which had money and power he loses his mental capacity due to his sense of power he doesn't care whether a poor person lives their life or not.

What have you seen bro, I would love to hear it from you with my own eyes.

In my opinion, money and power are both necessary for a man to have, if only the man in question, like excluding the female.

A man can be the man of the house, not necessary though, women can be too, but a man must be powerful, women can't be that powerful like a man no matter what, no matter how much muscle they build but I think it takes a lot for women to build a powerful body and physic than a man, but don't take me wrong, I did not said they can't I just said it could be hard for them.

Now speaking about money, if a man doesn't have money but power, he would be alright because with power he can get money, either way he can get the other thing.

I totally agree with you on this one, money and power is a two strong pair that can't be separated. Though in some cases money can play the two role, because when you have money you have power to command and everything will work according to your wish. Even in political aspect you still need money  to pursue some certain things that power alone will not be enough.

So money play a significant role than power but that doesn't mean that we should neglect power of course power is still required because thier are some certain things that requires power before we can also achieve them so there are areas that this two things can operate separately which is why we need them should incase we get to a point where we would want to apply any of them.

Are you looking for discussions on how money and power brings out the true nature of a man or which is more important? Also, i would like to know what you witnessed that motivated you to create this topic.
That said, in most cases, money and power are entwined as they go hand in hand. Therefore, if an individual wields one, the other isn't far behind. And yes, power and money brings out the true character of people as people almost always get intoxicated with the lifestyle and privileges that's associated with having both money and power. That feeling then lets the person openly behave as he likes, showing his true feelings and intentions.

I think the two works hand in hand, but I think money shows the true color of a man, if you are wealthy, then you going to have power. If you are rich, then people will want to be around them, and that’s when you going to see man doing crazy things. Most people will fight for money because they know if they are rich, they can easily have power. But there are some people that no matter how wealthy they are, or how powerful they are, they still going to be living a simple life, they won’t make things difficult for people around them.

Money and power are inseparable. You aim to gain money, rest assured power follows. And the fact that you are powerful, most likely you also have massive amount of funds you have been safekeeping. That's always the case IMHO.  So both are important, not just for survival, but most especially if you want to live the way you want it to be without other people's interest.

However, for most of you here, it could be money alone. But I would say money and power, because once you have them, the real changes come out.

Money and power changes the appearance of a man the moment a man who has not made money is controlling millions you see a different character of him coming out same thing with power it changes the behavior of the man that is why many say it intoxicates and can make the man do so many wrongs without considering the implications of what he has done. There are few people who can't be controlled by money but the politicians you see has been blinded by money, power and corruption they no longer see the things they way they are they are the perfect example of bad influence of power and money.

You have the money you have power from the position of money, as a wealthy man economic power flows and with your economic power you can in any case influence political decisions and policies in the society. See Bill gate for an example,  he uses his economic status through his Foundation to influences some global policies.

A demonstration that financial power can take you into the corridors of political authority. So in all a man can get, get money and power of all categories will be in your reach.

If we talk more deeply about how people's nature changes after having a lot of power or money, honestly we should not only see from the beginning (still an ordinary person) and the end (having power/money), and we don't see how the process of someone getting it, sometimes we quickly conclude that it is indeed his original nature without us knowing what background makes him like that, I try to think fairly in this perspective, because on the way to achieving success in power or having a lot of money there are always obstacles, insults, suffering that can change a person's mindset and character resulting in a different nature.

So I think we have to break down the process of why people become so changed after they get it, it could be that there is a background that can change their nature, I think that human nature is dynamic which is supported by the experiences they go through.

In conclusion, there are two reasons why people can change their nature after having power or money, first because it is their nature, second because of the experiences they go through, doesn't this make sense?

By the way, I think being rich doesn't necessarily mean you're powerful, but power almost always brings money with it. And both money & power have a strong influence on a person's character. History repeats itself... There are stories, movies, books about this matter, and we still haven't learn anything.

Money gives birth to power but I think it's necessary we specify what power we are talking about here.

As regarding the Op question, I would say money is more important than power since with money you can literally have power. Society is more loyal to money than to someone with power without money. People will see you as oppressor if you have power and not money.

Again, people with authority control everyone, not people with power. Unfortunately, few people now control both power and money with allowing it to extend to large populace.

So far we have not seen anyone who has power but no money, but depending on the situation and the goal, we may feel the need for both and can also select which one is more important. At first glance, both are important because it is not difficult to determine the nature of a real person through them. However, keep in mind that money helps us buy necessary things, and power can give us all access to resources through which it is possible to bring about change and establish ourselves globally, but be sure that if there is money, getting access to power cannot be a challenging matter. After all, with the influence of power, a individual can bring about great changes in the social field and i accept that they earn a lot of money by using power, and people who have a lot of money can overthrow powerful people.

From the way i see it, i feel that money is more likely to bring out the true colour of a man or woman. in the aspect of authority, if he or she is voted for or looked up to he will not want to mess up that opportunity so the individual will try to hid some toxic traits to retain the position.

On the other hand, onec an individual has money of his own he has nothing to hid because he is independent and not looking up to any one or group of people to retain his money so there is no character he has to hid, and he will unveil his true personality.

I adore your comment thank you for your contribution

Money and power are both important but money is more important we need money in our everyday life our basic activity requires money which makes money very important what's power without money in other to get that power one also need money either political power or any form of power tho the op wasn't specific on the nature of power we should talk about but whatever power one most aquire needs money note it is very important for a leader to be financial stable in other to earn respect not even the position the person's occupies people become more loyal and that's because of the money. Power at the other hand is influential it is said power corrupts indeed it does we don't expect a person given a position or I'll say power to act or behave thesame that's not possible at times we judge but if we could occupy such position we might do worse that how power operates

You are right that power brings money but that statement can be faulty and I will give instances. There are some people that are very powerful but hardly know how to use the power. Take for instance the US under Joe Bidden, he turned America into a laughing stock among nations, everyone ignored them but today, when America talks, everyone listens. Donald Trump just made a commend about my country and all the leaders and politicians are running up and down looking for what to prevent him from making good his threat of deploying troops to fight terrorist if our leaders fail to do something. Even the terrorists are already fleeing our country because they know that Trump does not say what he will not do.

How a leader uses power is what will determine if such power is effective or not. The same can be said for everyone who holds power, if its properly applied, it can have economic implications and vice versa.

I don't know why people say it's the behaviour of a man with power that shows their true colour but in reality every moves is their true colour, but of course power and money changes a mans behaviour, however if well observed power is as important as money and power is rarely helps without money, everything revolves around it now for a man you need both. None is more important both are.

When a person obtained a huge sum of money, his mindset and perspective change towards making more money that could lead gaining power eventually. That is most of the cases I've known, except for those who are naturally good with or without money on their lives.

However, money is still the most important, because that is where power starts when people around you start seeing you are now making a good amount of money and is living a more comfortable and quite luxurious life. People will eventually look up to you, and for that, you already have the power unconsciously.

I think the best way to explain, or answer the question is to find out which one of them has the other along with it. For instance, money is power, but power of course, is not money. A man who has money can possibly do everything thing with his money, but hardly you see a man in, or of power without money succeed in his efforts.

Therefore, I am submitting that money is more important than power. Money can buy everything, and to an extent, even life. A verse in the scripture rightly says that; "Money answereth all things" This particularly mean that money is necessarily considered more superior than power.

Money already brings in power if you know how to use it and not waste it. It's not that easy for people to have this kind of situation, usually most people who are rich, are also powerful. Maybe if you inherited money from your rich parents who were powerful, then you can be rich, but not be powerful because you do not know how that works. But aside from that, most people know how to run their money in a way that makes them quite strong.

Bribery, corruption, political toys, basically they do whatever they can to make it work. Why do you think places like Walmart or amazon can easily pay people money so little that whole nation has to pay taxes to make sure those places have workers on benefit paid by tax payers. Imagine the size of a company, where they are literally getting their workers salaries paid by tax payers. That's how rich and powerful work.

Both are interconnected, as having one will create an access to the other. So I cannot tell money is more essential than power or the vice versa, because both have real advantages in our lives. With money, survival is secured. With power, it helps us create a big difference in the long run. So if we can have them both, living life would be safe and highly secured, that creates more essence in life. As much as people wants money, they also wish to be powerful in the end, that's how I see it, and that's the reality in life now.

Both can cast influence on almost everything, so both are the same; if you have one, you will have the other. You cannot have one without the other; they coexist wherever one is present.
This is why so many people want to become politicians or leaders. Once you reach the position you desired, you get both of these, which will sustain your ego and boost your confidence to do anything you want.

Money is essential, while power is exceptional, so I have to stick with both of them. Where there is money, power easily follows.  And once you have gained them both, that makes living your life worth the time and efforts.

But in real life, not all are given privilege to access both money and power. Some do have money, while others do have power alone. But they can always find ways to make these two both inseparable.

I don't mind power, I just need money to survive in this challenging life. That was my concept before, but later on I realized having power is also beneficial especially of the type of government we have wherein those who have power will always be prioritized and those who have not will eventually get ignored. So I still chose to have them both, not to create an edge but to create balance in life. Because life itself is sometimes unfair, somehow balance is also we need.

money and power works hand in hand without money no power. I don't know what you mean by what you said, anyone proclaiming to be powerful without money has no power . According to the standard of the society today, people recorgnised a rich person and they often gain recorgnition because they have money. So you cant distinguish each of them as both works hand in hand.

That is true sha.. but in addition there are people has physical power to fight against anyone who comes across their way even without having money, there are people who sorcerer power and maneuver things we can as well call it power. Men of God also have spiritual power and most of them doesn't have money but they can pray and cast out demons these are powers. But in terms of political power, they both works in hands as you already narrated above.

It looks that we've got the same idea. All we want to have is enough money to survive and buy the things that we want and as a provider, that's what we've got in our minds. 

But later on, we see on who are getting the attention if they've got the power. I think that even having that much money, you'll be prioritized for some services in the government.

Still, it's different if you've got the power and we know that this happens in many corrupt countries and it comes with the two, money and power is a tandem that many people are hungry to have.

To make our life beautiful and enjoy it beautifully, we need both money and power. With money, you can do anything and live a luxurious life. And with power, everything will become easy for you. I have seen many people who have money but they do not have that value like a powerful person. When a powerful person goes somewhere, at least two people follow him and respect him and no one thinks of doing injustice to him. But the society does not give much value to the one who does not have power and this path of life becomes difficult for a powerless person. So to enjoy life beautifully and easily, we need both.

Money and power are both complementary to each other, especially since you can't imagine one without the other.
For example, if you have a lot of money and you spend it, you will see that one day you will get power. You have power and if you use it and can exert political influence, it won't take long for your money to come.
Now, the whole world is basically a game of power, meaning whoever has power will try to exert as much power as possible and will exploit those who are weak by showing power.

Yes money and power go side by side but for me money is real power. Money is a tool by which an individual can buy anything good life style good friends good position or recognition. If anyone want to get power he has to work hard for money. Money open the door of opportunities or provide comfort and build a powerful impact on the society. Without financial stability you have to suffer a lot. You have to suffer for not only financially but emotionally as well. Its bitter reality and its better to accept it. Now the question is that how to  earn money, for this analyse the market behavior of the rich people, ways to generate it or learn skills not focus on any short cut way.

There was a time when power gave birth to money. During the era of monarchies, kings minted money as a symbol of power, not as a medium of exchange. They printed it with the ruler's face, indicating that the value of the money came from the king's head printed on it. The function of money was to legitimize power. Thus, power created money as a means of social control.
Then there was a time when money gave birth to power.

When financial capitalism replaced monarchies during the Industrial Revolution, financial institutions began to wield political power beyond the nation. With the legitimacy of democracy, politics was financed by capitalism, meaning money was not a support for power but rather generated new powers that were subject to money.

Several theories of power view the relationship between money and power as follows:

Machiavelli:
Money is merely a tool of power (the ability to coerce submission to one's will); power is the source, and money is the fuel.

Foucault:
Power is productive and operates systematically, not through coercion. Money is a system that regulates human behavior. Money is a new form of power relations.

Marx:
Money is "universal power" that can transform anything into a commodity. Whoever owns money has the power to determine the value and direction of history. Thus, money is both a material tool and a tool of power.

Power creates money to control people. Money creates power to control the world.

The legitimacy of rulers relies on money (so that their value is recognized), while power needs money (to operate and maintain dominance). Whoever controls money controls reality; but whoever controls the meaning of money controls history.

Money equal power these days since you can get anything using money anyway and the money is a tool to reserve your purchasing power.
Both can show people's true color but people change so I actually don't really care whether people showing true color or not.

At some point you just gotta add that to your equation so you can tolerate such thing to happen. Frankly, showing true color after getting power or money can happen to yourself too.

In my opinion, a person's true nature is determined by the values ​​and principles he holds, money and power are supporting factors to strengthen his true nature, but some of them still spread kindness and humility even though they have a lot of money and some become the dregs of society or have bad traits even though they have nothing.
To see a person's true character, give him money and power, then you will see his true side from both positive and negative aspects, so it is not surprising that some people become better and more generous when they have money and power, while others become more selfish, stingy and do not care about the people around them who need help.

With the revolution of social media now money is more important because if someone having this anything is possible he can change many things which will increase his power just because of this money is now more important because this is using as tool and giving unanimous power.
Creative minds can do things by their own at any level because this is always under their control but peoples those are having strong strategy and hardworking motivation also doing good but now due to technology and features which are giving good chance of increasing wealth quickly bringing serious changes.
How to increase money its always important because its never been easy its need unique ideas and strong methods which keep things into favor and anyone able to stay at his level.

Money and power workd along the line, they are very essential for us to use and have in achieving what we want, money  help us towards the path we needed to take, go after what we wanted and ensures that we have our targets meant as expected, while that of power is also necessary to realize the impact we made from other people's interference, if we truly have something to offer them, such quality drives us to being in place of power because of our influence.

Power and money are indeed inseparable, in fact many people who already have one will have both over time for example someone who has power will certainly easily have money and vice versa and what needs to be known is that with money and power we can do anything, both positive and negative, depending on how we use it.

With money a person can achieve power, but power that is good and does not abuse it will not make someone greedy. A man must be able to earn money because men were created to be responsible for their lives and families. If a man cannot earn money, he will never have any value in anyone's eyes. There is nothing wrong with this assessment because men are born leaders, both on a larger scale and on a smaller scale, such as managing their household. A responsible man can be seen in how he manages his household and perhaps not just about fulfilling life but also many other things.

I view a man based on the category of leadership, and that is not limited to small things; we are gifted with responsibility, leadership, and many other things. Men do prefer to work hard to achieve a better life and that is why men who cannot earn money have no value or self-esteem in the life environment we live in and believe it or not this is a fact that occurs.

The understanding of money and power is broad, but what we often see is that money will take someone away from their true nature, usually these people are soft, because of money they will be wild, but not all are like that, but in general it is like that.

We can understand that money can change a person's character far from what is expected, because humans have lust, which is what makes people and power dark, so they don't realize that money and power can be lost.
Like treasures and Pharaohs.

With money alone, survival is secured. So I have to say money is way more important than power.

However, if you aim to maximize earning money and establish good amount of wealth, you need power for that. Having money alone isn't enough, you have to gain power to make your life more dominant than others. That is the reason why most of the greedy people want to enter politics, because that is the only way where they can get rich and be powerful at the same time.

we have treated similar discussion in this forum like 1 year back but since it has previewed again I think it need more attention so I believe that man needs power and man also needs money but from my own basic understanding of the relationship between money and the power, it is very understanding that money is power when you don't have money you don't have power and you cannot have power without having the money, so what shows the real characteristics, of a man is money because any man who has money have a prestige so the money will make the person to have a control over people, so for my own understanding what  man needs is money

It depends on what we're looking for, because when someone targets money through their business, they'll also simultaneously expand to gain power to facilitate their business. We can see that a big businessman will always have a close relationship with a ruler. I know it's not an ordinary closeness, but it's a closeness that will benefit each other.
Especially if the rulers are corrupt, they will be very happy to be close to businessmen, because there they will reap significant benefits through the policies they issue.

It's true that when you have money, everything can be controlled, but the main focus before money vs. power is what happens before or after someone has it, whether in small or large amounts. That's where we will know someone from their speech style, whether they speak normally or are already arrogant (not their voice anymore, but the voice of money) because it's too much and people will agree even if they are wrong.

But if their life goal is influence, domination, control, or wanting mass nods, being heard = 100 percent victory for power and money can come by itself, for example, making regulations that are of a nature that indirectly benefits them. That is what will drive changes in someone's behavior and don't be surprised if seeing our friend what used to be normal, after achieving success, sometimes their way and mindset completely change beyond expectations.

Money. When one has more than enough money, the true nature of man pops out.
Money begets power, not the other way around
With money, you get access to power, control and that intoxicates.

People with money often vie for political positions to get authoritative power. Or they act buddy buddy with people in positions of power and indirectly control outcomes to better suite their tastes or desires.

You can't really be friends with anyone in power or be powerful without having money.
Money and power usually go hand in hand, but before the power trickles in, the money more often than not, causes people to act true to their nature as they can get what they want when they want.

Money is everything. What is power? Shoulder straps or subordinates? What's the point of commanding someone if you don't have money? And money is most important. It's true that you need to have a good record with the tax authorities, because large sums of money withdrawn from a card are problems that can make the situation so dire that the poor are better off. Therefore, you need to quietly earn legal income and have a stash of a fat wad of dollars to make life a little more peaceful.

How do you explain presidents like Trump, Biden, although they are not richer than billionaires like Elon, Mark and many other Americans, but they have enough power to order or do something to anyone they want? In this case, is money or power greater?
Also, do you see Trump using his power to help his family make money from crypto? That is the power of power.

Among US presidents, Trump is probably the richest with a fortune of billions of dollars, but other presidents are not that rich. Most of their assets are only a few million dollars like Barack Obama or Joe Biden. But they were once the most powerful people and could do many things that many billionaires could not do.


As many others have pointed out, money and power go hand in hand and are closely related. They are almost inseparable.

Don't you think that both are important? Because they always work together, although some people might view it in different ways but when you check it very well you would understand that both are the same thing. However, when someone has enough money the power is also there for him to get whatever he wants because there is no how you would be in power without having money to clear your way. So money is everything not power.

Both are capable to show the true color of a certain person. But that will only happen if greed comes in the picture, and forces us to do things that have already crossed our limits just to maximize earning money and gain power in order to meet the satisfaction of one's greed, though I doubt if satisfaction really exists. Once you make good amount of money, you don't stop there, but as much as possible, you want the maximum amount of it.

And here comes power, where it only appears when there is presence of huge amount of money being accumulated.

Both works together because without money you won't get power and without power you can't generate money. When you have alot of money you can buy anything you need and you can generate a lot of business or investment that you can be doing and you will be getting huge profits and anyone that is working under you are already be your boy and you can be call the boss because you have the power to ask them to do anything you need because you are the one they are working for and if you didn't pay them they won't get money so that is power and you need to have money before you can have the power to control others. Anything you need as a man if you have money you will surely do everything for your self and leave well without any difficulties in your life again.

I agree, power and money comes with the same influence to each of us so they cannot be separated.

If someone tries to separate them, we'll still end up needing both of them for which one will enjoy if we've got money and power too.

Abuse in power and being greedy, it will truly show the real personality of any person that will be drowned into these two.

Shortcuts don't generate long-term wealth, and people need to understand this. Even if someone manages to make money through a shortcut, it will probably be a risky way of making money, and that money won't last very long. Besides, what's the point of having money or wealth if you can't spend it openly and disclose the source of your income without any fear? If you are making money in a legitimate way, you won't be afraid of anything, and you can answer any questions thrown at you about your wealth and source of income. However, if you are using shortcuts and unethical or illegal ways for making money, you won't have that freedom.

So many people make a lot of money by doing bad and illegal things; they might even have power or contacts because of the business they are into, but what's the point of having that sort of money and power if you can't do anything without any problems? You can't even roam within your own city or town without fear of getting arrested by the authorities or getting assassinated or kidnapped by your enemies, etc. I don't think having this kind of money and power is worth it. :)

I think money &  power are two things that reveal a persons true nature to some extent. however the whole picture is not limited to these two. keep in mond, money can reduce empathy &  increase the tendency for people to use it as a tool. And power is also a very volatile thing,, the more power you have, the more your actions change, sometimes for the worse

other hand, money is what you can do &  power is what you want to do with that money. The true character or color of a person is revealed by how they use these two elements, not just by their presence. If you have money and you help others, then you are truly a great person. On the other hand, if you have power but you dont listen to others or lose empathy, then this can be taken as a warning sign

There's a popular quote. The poor shouldn't fight the rich, and the rich shouldn't fight power. This clearly shows that while money is important, power is still paramount. When you hold a high position in your country, even the very wealthy will eventually bow down to you. Of course, there's no power without financial support, although some individuals have managed to achieve power without it but they are rare exceptions.

With genuine wealth someone can go anywhere and doesn't feel that an enemy could attack them at a point they weren't ready because of how clean there hands and mind is but that's what those that do illegal things with connection and power do not do because they would definitely meet there nightmare if they move like an ordinary person, having money in such way affects everything that's close to that person because everybody related to them will have to go away to a place of so many different people were they cannot identify them so that they cannot use because of the things there brother did to them in making his quick money to punish them. Even if the person has attempted different investment or work and doesn't get lucky shouldn't disorient the good belief of that person into fast illegal money making because there wouldn't be joy at the end of it.

In my opinion, money plays the biggest role here. Because if you give a person 1 million dollars for 1 day. Only then will the true nature of that person come out. If he is a good person, then of course he will help other people or spend it on some other good cause. But if he is a person with a bad attitude, then of course he will misuse that money. He can do immoral things. Similarly, if power goes to good people, then maybe the country will improve, but if it goes to bad people, it will be harmful. But this is a common thing, that without money there is never power.

If you will analyze it deeply, both money and power can be the root of evilness for a person. What they were when they had nothing is far different compared to when they have it all. So it only goes to show that money and power can totally change a person, it can be for good, but mostly for bad since all they have is greed that keeps them competing from other individuals, except for those who are born naturally good with or without money and power in their lives.

I think both are important and also correlated. Power usually comes from money. Yeah there are other ways to get powerful but they are almost more difficult. For example, a YouTuber with big following also has great power but they have to work hard for years to earn it.

If I was given the choice, I go for money any day of the week. Because eventually everything comes down to money, hate saying it but that's the truth.

What does power do? Allow you access to things and resources that others don't? Well, that's what money does too, you buy it instead of getting access using your power. I hope I understood the topic right though and we are not discussing physical strength/power lol.

As far as I can understand this. In fact, when people have power, most of them use power and can do many things easily. And many continue to use that power for evil purposes. And same with money. For example when one does not have money, they tend to edit all kinds of work very well and softly. But when they have some money, most of them become arrogant. And those who are good will never harm others, no matter how much power and money they have. They respect and honor everyone. I think money and power are both very bad things (Not applicable to everyone). So bad times people's true form will always come out.

Power is crazy and works that way, a servant is powerful enough to get the master's attention than a rich man in their locality who may have to pay high amounts just to sit with the king. Power is also earned like money, today a man is the most powerful and the other, a new man emerges with a greater limelight, just thesame way riches are measured. Most powerful men don't think of money anymore, while those with money think so much about getting into power. Because having the money alone isn't enough to them anymore.

Money actually has nothing to do with a person's true character. Everyone has their own journey, with their own unique story. Experiences of life's hardships prove that money is essential for gaining respect. However, for those who have long been established, money is merely a means of transaction, as they have earned their position in society. I believe that culture, society, and one's life history can change a person's character, not money. Using money can actually strengthen it. People who change after gaining money have almost certainly experienced financial hardship and used money to increase their respect, as money can increase social status and the respect of others.

I think that money is the most important thing for a person. Power is not permanent for anyone and if you use power to do too much, it will be seen as bad in the eyes of people. But if you have enough money, then you will automatically get power. In this world, money is the biggest tool for people to live a good life. So I think money is more important than power and can keep most people happy. If you have money, you don't have to run for achieving power. Power will come to you automatically.

When money and power are together, people will abuse either of them. When a person abuses power, that person becomes more violent than a wild animal. Your power can take you to a point where you think you're okay but others get fed up with your behavior. This is the situation that prevails in the case of politicians in my country, especially when they get power and money together and reach the peak of corruption.

It could be like this, someone accumulates money and works hard to become rich and their goal is power, and once in power they will prioritize money. This is because usually people in power have privileged access to sources of money. And this pattern will continue to cycle, so I agree it has a correlation between each other.

I wouldn't generalize like this, meaning that not everyone who has money wants to be powerful, and not everyone who is powerful has money as their goal. But when it comes to this, I think it is also closely related to politics and we know what kind of system is created in politics.

Men pursue money and power to gain public appreciation, That's how the world works and although it may sound cruel, a man will only be respected if he has money and power.
I believe this because I've seen ample evidence around me that there's a strong motivation to achieve both, or at least one of them, I also believe that money and power are equally important, the point is, we must have one or the other.

As money could corrupt something, so with that kind of saying, if he gets that kind of money, then maybe he will just think of himself and be selfish and used it for him without helping any body.

So for me, both are important but it should be used in the right way. That's why we have seen many philanthropist in history that is willing to give their money and help the poor as they know that they can't bring that money to the grave.

On several occasions, money and power are twins. Where you see one you see the other, mostly in unhealthy systems where an office benefit is overrated, many will likely go for power when offered a fixed amount of money or power. However looking at it socially (society influences) some would want money and some power mostly when they know very well the money attached to it. And some people irrespective of how little the office upkeep, they will want direct service to humanity (power).
How do you see this:
on an individual basis: someone with power without money means little to nothing. But someone with money has power.
On society basis; power as in office, needs money.

From the heading of this thread, I think they both happen correlatively leaving little room for choice.

Yes. Money and power are indeed closely related and this is a real phenomenon in many countries. Money always creates power and power relations inevitably arise when money is involved. Many wealthy individuals today must engage in politics to maintain the security of their businesses or even enter politics to continue growing their businesses.

Believe me politics is only about power and money. There's nothing more to it. So when elites talk about their political motives for the people the nation or this and that it's just image building. What's really happening is that their businesses continue to thrive. Yes, politics is about power, money, and with money, you can achieve power. But we must also understand that money and success are tools for achieving power. Because with them you can have more time and opportunities to help, empower, influence, and change the lives of others.

There is this wise and popular saying that "if you want to know the true nature of a man, give him money and power." For this, the two are capable of revealing or reshaping the behaviour of a man, but the one that is more capable of doing that is what I can't really say. However, one thing is certain, they work hand-in-hand. If you have money, it naturally draws power to you, and if you have power, it naturally draws money to you. So let's just say that they are two powerful weapons that triggers the true nature of man.

So what do you think about rich or high-status people who often help others, do charity work, and participate in many social activities that are beneficial to society?

Money and power are not the root of evil and they do not change anyone. They are just catalysts to reveal a person's true nature. If someone suddenly becomes selfish, greedy and cruel when they have money and power. Or they will become a completely different person than when they were poor. It's not that they've changed, it's that they're just being true to themselves, the person they've been trying to hide for so long.

Do you think Elon Musk is capable of doing things he wishes as much as Putin wants? Or do you think Putin can do whatever he wants way more than Elon can? That should answer your question. If you are Elon Musk, you are not going to be able to wage wars whenever you want, you are not going to change the whole nation to whatever you like whenever you want neither.

But if you are Putin, you can put your nation at war for years just because you want to, and nobody will say anything, in fact, people will blame some Ukrainian stand up comedian over you, even though you started the war. Power is always more important, but depends on the kind of power you have, I rather be not be on Forbes magazine, but have power over all of them.

No, in very few cases, people become inhuman after getting money. Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, all these people have a lot of money, a lot of power, but you will not see anything aggressive in their behavior. A person's aggressive behavior is not only rooted in his money and power, but also in a lack of education within him, a lack of family education, from childhood he grows up in a violent behavior that becomes more intense after gaining power and money. That is, a person does not become bad just because he has money, and he does not use it on others when he gains power, but if someone has a cruel mentality and has never done anything good for society or the state, if he ever gains power or money at the same time, he becomes even more cruel and ill-tempered.

Powerful people sit on the wealth of those they protect and govern. The citizens only have the energy to protest against the decisions of the men in power, but atimes watch it fall rightly on deaf ears. While power is expensive for rich men to get, other men got principality by inheritance or a reward for loyalty. Not everyone who is financially stable can do all power takes to endure.

Being a magistrate over millions of people requires strong effort. And these people who don't wish for uncomfortability would rather enjoy their wealth and sponsor those in power for protection.

Instead of trying to know which one of the two is more important or intoxicates an individual. What you should know is that money and powers goes together any where you see power there is also money this is a fact that every one should get to know.Money and power corrupts an individual absolutely this is why anywhere these two things are found there is arrogance and pride because, these two are very controlling that the person that is housing money and power will not even notice that he or she is arrogant or is been influenced negatively.

I agree, both corrupts a person if they don't know how to use it. While we only wishes to have some money, the time comes when we want to have more and that's with power. So, it really goes together anytime, any day, and if someone granted with both, they're for sure going to abuse it especially if they have come from nowhere. People's desire never end and we're asking for more even if we've got more already. Money is fine and we need it to survive and I think that even we don't have power, if our main goal is to live peacefully and to survive, money has the bigger part.

Money and power work together so they both seem the same to me, and I'd also say that money and power shows the true nature of any human. According to the title of this topic, personally I would say that I prefer money as the most important because who needs power when there's no money? Absolutely not me. Even in the society when you have money to throw around power comes naturally without even asking too much for it,

Of course If there's no money you become powerless, though I'm not disputing of having power of course power is very essential more especially in a country where the leaders aren't doing well. With the power that is bestowed upon you and the money then you can be able to fight for your right and the victory is more likely to be yours because you have all it takes to fight the fight. So therefore power and money is what shows a true colour of a man which non among this two should be omitted.

Why there is a need to choose when both are equally important. Money and power have their different essential roles, but they share the common goal to make our lives more meaningful and comfortable. So as much as we want to make a more happy life, thus we need them both. However, not all have been granted with money and power, and that is why everyone is working on it. Because when there is money, power easily follows, unfortunately some power are being used to take advantage from other people.

When you aim for money, at some point, you also want to gain power in the long process, that's how greedy the people are. We are born with it so eventually, we all want money and power at all cost.

However, there are still some few individuals who just want to live with money and avoid power. Living life is still great even without power, as long as you have all the means for survival and financial stability.

And usually they snare each other, for example when the ruler has a disgrace that is known by the rich, as well as the rich have a disgrace that becomes a handle for the ruler. It becomes difficult if the system is like this and even when there is a change of power they will usually continue the same thing.

Honest people will be hated in such a system, and they will even be the ones who will be subverted. Either they become political prisoners or scenarios will be created to ensnare honest people.

You have also mentioned that this is a simple topic, which is the same as the answer, because the answer is also simple. Money brings out the true colors of people around you, both the real ones and the fake ones, which will change your perception of trust, either good or bad. Money doesn’t change the person who has it, it either improves his knowledge or breaks his trust in the people around him.

On the other hand, power brings out the true colors of the person with the power. That is when you will know if you are wicked, greedy, or humble. Power is usually beyond imagination. It can also change a humble person into the wickedest person you could ever know, because such people are often humble only when they are poor and have no influence or power. But when they get power, that is when you know who they really are.

According to me, I think money and power both are equally strong because the one who has enough money automatically gets the power to do what he wants.
On the other hand the one who has enough power can easily earn a lot of money if he requires it.
So the one who has either of them will be the one who will show their true colors when the time comes.

The consequences of this situation can vary across time and place. In other words, a person's behavior is shaped by their environment, and this behavioral style is something people acquire over time. I believe the key here is knowing what is right and wrong. When we understand what is right and wrong, our behavior improves. Money and power influence human behavior, but the true influence is self-awareness.

Sometimes, showing one's true colors may not be related to money or power, and therefore, some stereotypes may not accurately reflect human behavior.

I agree with you that money and power seems to be the same thing because when you have money, you have already have power; when you have money, the power itself will come without you looking for it; money is very important for every individual, if you have only power without money, no one will respect the power you have; but if you have money and power, you can control anything you want. I know that power is used to control people who did not have it or the poor but money is very important.

Many people will choose money because money is what people are chasing right now, and it is very important for all individuals, if you don't have money, you won't be valued, but for me, money and power looks the same because they are very important in our lives.

I would say Money is more important because power can be purchased with money. There is almost nothing that can't be purchased excluding health. Money solves almost all the problems. People will always keep on chasing money and they will only start chasing power if they have enough money because maintaining the power will again need money.

Money has turned out to be quite an important factor and the entire mankind runs behind money. If they have enough money is when they start chasing other goals. Sometimes people even neglect their health just to chase money and will start stressing themselves out in order to get a few extra bucks. In this scenario, they would never run behind power at least until and unless they are self-sufficient.

Money is the greatest power of man, money and power? If you don't have money, where is your power? Money is the main power.
Many times people say that power is more important, but in reality, money paves the way for that power, without money it is impossible to create influence, whereas with money, influence or power comes naturally.
So think about earning money, if you have money, your value is much higher everywhere, if you don't have money, you will have no value even in the family.

Not everyone is going to run behind power but money will be important to almost everyone. Without money, life seems to be like a mess and every single days starts and end with hunting for additional ways to earn money. People who have power also have the same motto to earn money with their power. What else can they use their power for? They are definitely not going to help the poor with their power. All they would want is to fill their pockets and maximize their net worth so their future generations can enjoy the perks.

So, even power is an outcome of money and is nothing but an additional way of earning money. I envy people with money and power.

Power is proportional to money if an individual has money he has power to control the things which poor people cannot. When money and power both come they make a person proud or arrogant because they feel they are untouchable or above others. People start teasing other innocent people when they have money. The main reason for this behaviour is the law which is strong against a poor but friendly with rich people. If law is equal for everyone nobody will dare to do these bad things. Bravery is that we should stay humble even if we have money and power. Money and power are not bad things bht they can be harmful if someone let them ride his mind. A wise person don’t show off his money or power in front of poor people.

If you want to obtain power, you gotta have to be rich in order to easily dominate from other people. But there are also rich that do not want power, but the type of present government favors more who are rich and powerful, so it give us an edge if we definitely gain them both.

Now speaking of being arrogant, I believe majority of those who are in power turn arrogant to other people, but I don't think it's always money and power the root cause, some people are just born arrogant already.

Power is mostly temporary. Mostly as all the powerful positions and leadership are temporary. There's a retirement age or fixed terms till you remain on bureaucratic or political position. You might feel there's no one above you and even the people with lots of money comes to you with respect and bribes. This is true till you remain in the position. There were few dictators that remained in position till death or one that still held powers even but for most it would come to an end and if you haven't accumulated money yourself, no people would come seeking you.
Money is not permanent either but if you have methodically and carefully planned, it would keep generating money for generations. You might need to keep changing your strategy according to situation to save or increase your money but when you master the art, no one could take it from you. And with so much money you could buy anything even bribe the powerful people to get things done in your favour.

On my opinion I will consider money is everything in this generation if you don't have money then you're nothing because power is derived from money, in other hands is also a ruling power let me take for instance if you don't have money you won't have that dignity no body else will even talk or think about you anywhere but when you're successful in life you can see their will be a very big change that's why some people those that's has the power to rule Nigeria today, is because of their wealth how can someone that doesn't had money can be identified anywhere to be come and compete with  a wealthy man in an election.

Money is the king maker while power is the king itself both works interchangeably but  money is superior to power because with money one can buy power, Some that fails to the acknowledge the superiority of money  always ends up making irresistible mistakes the ends up destroying there years or labour. The lasting solution to normal questions of life is gaining financial freedom and to get to this extend a lot of sacrifices must be made from which are: sacrificing time, energy, pleasure and pride once one can give up all this, coming out victoriously is always the result at last but most never forget to identify the superiority of money no matter what.

There are many people like that, they just want to have a lot of money and stay away from power to avoid unnecessary trouble. But that doesn't mean they completely shun power. It's just that they are not directly involved in the power struggle, but still have relationships with those in power and these relationships are maintained with money.

It is difficult for a person to have a great life if they are not connected to power because life today is becoming more pragmatic than ever. When everything is measured in money or lots of money, rich and smart people will always have secret relationships to help them have a great life.

Behind every ruler, there's always someone who supports them with money. And sometimes the true ruler is hidden in the shadows. Sometimes the king who appears to the public is merely a puppet, displayed by wealthy individuals who provide funding behind the scenes. While it may seem like a fairy tale, this seems to be common knowledge today. Even behind political power, it's often the owner of the largest sum of money who controls the power. While not always the case, money itself is a powerful force that can control many things today. So, we could say that power can even be bought with money. Although it is not always like that and not everything can be bought with money, this shows that money is one of the most important things in today's world.

Sometimes when I gather with friends, the one who has money is the king because for those who do not have money, they will be asked to go buy food or drinks with the money owned by other friends so it can be said that when we have money, we will have power, that is what I feel in the perspective of friendship and maybe this also happens in the upper class such as the government or even the president. Everyone, including myself, of course, wants a comfortable life and yes, one of the comfortable lives is achieving financial freedom, but not everyone can achieve it.

Money really does hold massive power in this generation it influences how people see you how much respect you get and even what opportunities come your way when you don’t have it people barely notice your existence but once you become successful everything changes people listen to you doors open and suddenly your opinions start to matter that’s how society is built now power follows wealth. In politics business and even everyday life money is the quiet king maker it decides who gets to sit at the table and who stays outside in a country like Nigeria you can clearly see how wealth shapes leadership those with financial backing have influence they can buy their way into power while those without money struggle to even be recognized that’s the kind of system we live in.

But even though money is powerful it’s also something that demands sacrifice if you want real financial freedom you give up time comfort and sometimes even relationships the path to wealth is rarely easy it needs consistency focus and the ability to keep pushing even when the results don’t show immediately and once you get there maintaining it requires discipline. The influence of money isn’t limited to big systems it shows up in smaller social circles too among friends the one who has money naturally becomes the center of attention the one others depend on and look up to it’s the same pattern just on a smaller scale it’s human nature to value those who can provide or help.

Well, Op, I don't know which types of power you are referring to because we have a lot of powers in different aspects, but both the power and the money are also very important in any aspect, and I also see them as the same thing, so power is something that has to do with having control over everything which is attached to the rules and regulations or by working with the authorities, but when you look at the concept of power itself, for example, like an individual power, for you to be powerful, you need huge amounts of money because power cannot speak or do without money being involved, so the money is the most vital foundation of power, both in government authorities and for an individual.

Im the scenario you mentioned, it should be noted that self worth is key here. Money is important, no doubt but we really shouldn't equate our usefulness or importance in someone's life cause of how much money he/she has. I do get your point and am very aware of how money can and sometimes elevate someone in the presence of their friends or peers. But what is also worth noting is among true and real friends, how much money you've got would be totally irrelevant in the shared relationship.
Everyone wants to have a comfortable lifestyle and financial stability helps in achieving it. If only it also gives people a much better perception on how to treat others better.

You need money to be powerful and you need power to get money. The two are opposites and it depends on the path that you are or you wnah to accomplish but do not forget that you will need to get one before the other. You can't get money and power the same time.
The possibility of getting more ans power at the same time might be a coincidence but it's as good as non-existent.
Make money and you can get power with the resource you have. Go for the power with backup of those that have money then after you will use the power you have to get money.

Discussing respect, success and money are certainly interrelated. Now money can buy anything, one of which is a degree. Nowadays we don't need to go to college to spend a long time to get a degree or an additional name behind it, but by using money we can buy the title which will certainly make us more respected when known by others because having a high degree as well as success, with this title opens up opportunities for us to have a successful career although it does not guarantee it either. So it makes sense to say that if we have a lot of money then power will follow.

It is true that money and power are deeply connected but very difficult to achieve together but I don't think it is entirely a case of "one before the other". Because sometimes influence, relationships or knowledge create a kind of power from which money comes while on the other hand money creates opportunities where power is gradually built but it all depends on which aspect you value more for example financial freedom or social influence. Attitude, morality and motives also play a big role in this for example many people consider money as the key to power while some believe that real power comes from influence and wisdom. So it can be said that money and power complement each other, if you can use one wisely, the other will also come in due course.

Generally, people will believe someone can or is capable of investing when they have the funds or money to invest. When just saying "I will invest" with the following descriptions, I think many won't believe it. Of course, the first step is the desire to have constant money, and ultimately, the ability to manage to the highest level, then one is said to have strong financial power. Only then will many come. For example, Mr. Michael J. Saylor, who was initially just ordinary, has now become a highly anticipated person, especially when BTC drops.

You can have money and have no single power, in fact you can have money and people will not still respect you. I have seen politicians be hated because people don't their behavior, they reject their money because they don't want to have anything to do with them, people can hate you for no reason if you have money, they are going to reject your money and don't want to be with you but you see power, you can have power and control people like you want.

Have you seen how people abuse power and yet they don't have anything? They can have nothing and be brutal and people will still respect them, they can be nice and people are going to still respect. Like in my country, we are made to understand that traditional rulers have power to control people than even the so called polival leaders. During election, they come around to beg this traditional rulers for support because without them you are not having that positive, that's what power can give and money can't give you.

Am sure you are not talking about physical power to fight right? It's power to rule and people take your orders right? Well them, money or power?  Are they not twin? Can you have money without power?, or can you have power without money? For me, the both walks together hand in hand. I community leader who has power also has money. In fact, it is with his money that he walked into that position. So we can't see power where there is no money, and you can't also have money without having power. Get one and get the both simultaneously.

Ha ha ha, lolz, money is the most powerful, with money you can get everything, with money you can also get happiness. The most important thing for me is that money is worthless, without it you fail in all areas, with money you can marry the person you love, buy the things you like, fulfill all your dreams, achieve everything. But without money, even your family members will feel like a burden at times.

What I see is that human satisfaction knows no bounds. When someone lacks money, they will work hard to attain wealth, and when they achieve it, they will consider pursuing power. Because with power they are respected, and that includes facilitating their business operations.

So the two are inevitably interconnected. When someone is rich, they will seek fame and respect, and conversely, those in power will certainly seek wealth to maintain their power. Just look at how many people in this world are entering politics; their goal is clearly to gain power.

In my opinion, both are important, but if you're talking specifically about men, I'll say money is more important because when you have money, you have everything, including power. But generally power is also important in many aspects, despite the fact that a country or individual cannot have full authority or power without money. You may be the richest person in the country, but you cannot have authority like the person with power. The person with power can influence actions or give orders in the system, while the richest person cannot, so there are many ways in which power cannot be compared to money and the same goes for money over power.

Nowadays, money and power are inseparable, like two sides of a coin. Money is needed to attract power, and once power is obtained, with the influence of power you can easily intervene in policies, making it easier to obtain money. Many countries are currently controlled by oligarchic groups with such a pattern. Initially, they seek money by doing business, but after their business grows, the money they earn will be invested in the political arena, they will buy policies in that country for their business interests. The elected politicians then work to secure their businesses. So, in my opinion, money and power both work together. Power needs money, and money needs power to continue to grow.

Sometimes there are some people who think that money can't buy happiness, actually, if you think about it further, that's a bit wrong because I think money is one of the things that can make us happy, and yes, in my opinion, money can buy us happiness. I once shared with people from the lower middle class, even though the amount was not large, they were happy and from there I felt the happiness I got. So, I think money can buy happiness. Besides, what you said is true, when we are adults and don't have a job or income, sometimes we will feel embarrassed in front of other family members, maybe even some of them don't like us because we are adults but don't have a definite job. It's different if we already have a job, especially one with a high salary, their behavior will be more attentive to us.

Most people are like that but there are also those who don't need power or want it, the important thing is to earn money and then live according to their heart's desire.

I agree with the saying that a man's true character is revealed when he has either money or power, His good or bad nature is revealed when he uses that power.
And in my opinion, which is more important for us to achieve between the two ultimately comes down to our own desires and passions, but what is clear is that as a man, we must have one or the other.

In today's era of globalization, the reality is indeed like that. People with a lot of money will more quickly achieve something, whether in politics or business. Because power without financial support is too difficult to achieve, even though the ultimate goal is sometimes not what we envision. But when both are in place, the journey to achieving something is certainly easier.
In the business world, let's look at an employee who has worked at a store for a long time but is certainly interested in starting his own business. But we need to ask why he chooses to remain a permanent employee at a store. Perhaps because he thinks he already has the knowledge but doesn't yet have the capital. This means that, as discussed above, there is a similar connection between money and power.

To me , money shows someone what they want . Once people get money they start to see things they really care about like how they spend it,  who they help and what they chase. Some use it to make life better for others and some use it to flex.
While power, shows how a person treats or sees others. When someone has power, they can make decisions that can affect others that’s when their real character shows, some stay humble and fair  , while others start acting like gods. So yes money shows someone’s desires but Power shows their Character.

Money gives you freedom, and how you use it is important. Will you influence the lives of others with it, or will you spend it solely on yourself and invest it in endless pursuits? In fact, how you spend your money can unknowingly limit your freedom, even while believing you're gaining freedom. Power gives you influence, allowing you to control situations and influence others.

You can't influence others or control every situation with just money, that's different.

Men value themselves more, and a man may be willing to do anything if his dignity is trampled upon by others.
Power and money shape a person's identity, and this isn't limited to men, as everyone, when involved with money and power, can often lose their sense of self.
Sometimes talking about money and power is difficult to understand, as we often see people who were previously quite good, but after acquiring a lot of money and power, their behavior changes rapidly.
This is natural, as human nature can change rapidly. However, how can one position themselves in a humanistic way that allows others to be treated with dignity? This way, we can see the difference.

Human nature does indeed possess ego, whether it's power or money, but this must be viewed in light of human needs, especially in social settings and relationships within society.

with the current situation money has become the pursuit of every human being and with money we can buy power this is a fact that occurs in the field both in government agencies and in other places that can always be relied on with money, so it is everything so that we look for various ways to get money, and money can reflect a person's character until someone is not aware of what they say because they rely too much on money, actually this is the wrong way and should be like you said we can use money for investment and daily needs, and we also have to respect people whose income is not equal to ours instead of insulting, so this life should not be ruled by money.

I mean... with money you can get power, with power you can get money, they are quite equivalent between one another. Though, depending whom you ask, there will be people who would prefer to have money over power, since there is a less perceived responsibility and more perceived freedom. People talk about financial freedom and never talk about "power freedom" or "political freedom".

Either way, it is true power and money both show the true colors of a person, generally power corrupts people and money does the same.
Also, in general bad people with power and money tend to multiply the damage which could be done against others.

You're actually right in saying that money gives freedom, but despite that the freedom has limit, that is why you see some of our rich men jumping into politics not because they are looking for money but they want Power so that they are freedom will be a complete one. No matter how much money you have, your freedom still depends on how you use your money, if you didn't make a last cycle with your money, you will not have so much freedom because your freedom will only lies on where your money stop.

Having both money and power will make you dance in freedom, these two are very important and when it goes together that is when your freedom will be achieved 100%.

Money show the true man in any occasion. Someone that have money and someone that have power if they attend any occasion, do you know that people will recognize the one that have money than the one that have power. The era of using power has passed because money is the power people are using these days.

Whenever someone tells me that men care more about dignity, what I see instead is that the majority of men have been taught to follow a single script of value. Status, control, competence. You touch that, they are erased. I've been there. Someone doubts your ability in front of a crowd and then suddenly you are prepared to destroy a relationship to make yourself feel that you still matter

Money and power do not make new personalities; they minimize restrictions. The part of you who wanted to dominate and didn't - because you relied on others? When you are rich or powerful, then that dependency diminishes. And your naked nature now appears. It is the reason why good people can turn so quickly

My own humanistic positioning, which you discuss, begins with a single brutal question:
"What if I lost my job, I lost my income, I lost my image, who would I be useful to and why?"

Suppose we say no one, unless it is on account of power, or money, then dignity is a weapon, and never a value. Treating others with dignity means intentionally not making their worth tied to their usefulness to you. Particularly when it is possible to afford not to care. That is the real test and not how gentle you are when you are weak

Money is power you are powerless if you don't have money,money conquer all if you have money you have power to control the most powerful man ,with your money you can be paying the most powerful man on earth to be your gate man so the respect for money is over emphasize,eat your power let me eat my money,you will definitely need money because you can't eat power,with my money I can control you to do something for me and I pay you,but with your power you can't control me it can't work I will use my money to subdue your power immediately I will opress you with money if you try to raise shoulder over me

Two things are greatly involved actually but this is just it .

Both.

Money and power works hand in hand, without one, you're nothing but just a privilege citizen who's only but a step above the average class in the society.

Guess what? Without power, your money commands only but a little respect out there (family excluded though). And why is that? The answer is simple, you're not the only fortunate fellow out there who's able to make enough to live comfortably.

You may not understand what I mean in the previous paragraph, but when you find yourself in a country where harassment by military personnel is the order of the day, you'll know why power is as important as money and vice versa.

To be realistic both are the same because when money is shows up you tends to see how people reacts and behave, then when they have power I mean political power you also see the bad side of them because they would want to use it to will over people and to those whom they think is under them. It's only few people who can actually control themselves and these are those who already knows how to control themselves towards wealth and powers more like those who are into wealthy families.

I must admit, we often see how money or power can change a person, but I think it’s more accurate to say these are tools that reveal who we truly are, not what shapes our character.

From a young age, we all develop our own traits and behaviors, regardless of wealth. Some people are naturally greedy, selfish, or arrogant, while others are generous and humble. Money or power doesn’t create these traits, it just makes them more visible.

So, the real question is: do you think a person’s true character always comes out when they gain wealth or authority? Or can some people handle it without letting it change who they are?

This is because the power of the rich is far greater than that of those with power without money. In some areas, those with power were once supported by the rich to gain positions. Therefore, when attending an event, the nobility of the rich will certainly be far greater than that of other powerful leaders, even though they always have a different place than ordinary people at any event. I absolutely do not deny this, because this is indeed the era where each of us must become wealthy if we want to be truly respected by everyone at any event.

It is very important that if you do not manage your money properly and spend it in the wrong place, then it will just get lost. Manage your money in such a way that it covers your daily expenses and also creates a financial foundation for the future. Do not waste it completely on unnecessary things, but rather apply it in the right place so that you can get good financial output from it after a specific certain period of time. Spend money wisely and save and invest, so that  it can generate more money.

I quite agree with this because for now the two can be interrelated and when we have one of them, it is certain that we can get the other one without any real difficulty.

Money and power today have always been a benchmark for some people but when we get one of them (money / power) then it is certain that the others will follow considering that when we have money then there will be a lot of people who want to try to crowd by our side just because they want to take advantage of the situation and even our money as well as power because when we have power then money will come by itself without us having to bother looking for it because conditions like this seem to look quite normal now.

If you have money and you are not physical strong then the person who has gun will steal your money and you will cry and nobody will do anything in this case because that is your fault and you didn't work on your health. Money is less important than power in life  because we are watching the condition of countries and every country want to be dominant on other country and powerful country will stay on earth and weak country have to be part of powerful country because they will support them in bad days . America is  ememy of Russia and if any country have no power to be independent then it has to be friend of these two countries, otherwise, these two countries will attack on them and try to be dominant in these countries.

For me sha, money and power do not really change a someone, it just amplify whatever was already inside him or her..

For instant, give a wicked person money or power, and he becomes louder with that wickedness…. Give a good person the same thing, and you will see his goodness too..  So for me, money is power is not the real issue… it is the character that was already there before any of those things came in..

Money and power is almost the same thing if I’m to say the truth , without money yo can’t control some things or have the authority to command things , but when the money is there you can command things , so in our society now money is very important, with money you are nothing and powerless , so I would say money and power go both ways .

Money gives you all the power you desire, if you want power, get money and I have not seen any man who claims to be powerful without money.
Money makes the world go round and there are several types of power but for when generalizing these things, it is best to note that, money is same as power.

Both money and power are very important. Well, if you have both, then you are unstoppable in this current world we live in. I know many people think money is more important. The reason is that when you have money, you can push for power, pay for power, most importantly, do anything to get power just to remain in that position where the money keeps flowing into your hands. Since the choice is to choose one out of the two, I will be going for money. Not because I don't want the power, but I can have any power when there is money.

These two things are indeed different, but ultimately they are interconnected in a way that can make us respected individuals.
Money can create its own power because when we have money, relationships will naturally develop as long as we have enough money. The same goes for power, where those who have sufficient power can easily obtain money.

Therefore, it is only natural that many of us are still competing to obtain these things.
If we have one of them, we can certainly achieve the other. For example, when we have money, power will indirectly follow, and this can be clearly proven by the fact that when we have a lot of money, many people will consider us to be powerful, even though there may be those who are more powerful than us.

Money is most important thing for the Women because they are greedy and they like a person who has more money And more success and they want to buy luxury cars and apartment and they want to enjoy more in life. Men always do hard work for the family and they are not interested to but luxury cars and they know that they need a small money to survive in a life And they are doing hard work in the abroad to make more money for the family. Men have difficult life as competition to women because everyone will not demand money from Women and every women will see men with a perspective of money only.Money And power are both things which are attractive to the society because many government employees have power and good salary .

The question is what's power and what's money when you know the difference between the both key word then we can go ahead to knowing which one is more important depending on the individual that is considering them. Money serve the purpose of exchange while Power is the ability of influence haven known what this is then you will agree with me that the importance of each of them is dependent on the individual perspective like I said earlier though a politician will consider power for money as most important because who has power controls he who has money for example, the president of a country is not the richest but endorses policy that controls both the richest people and the poorest.
To me power is more important
Power is the key🗝️
In all you do think power because you will have to be in charge of both your space and environment
Thank you

Having money also makes power possible but it's not easy to achieve because you need a substantial amount of money to have power.
Everyone wants both but we can't set high goals, The first thing we can pursue is making more money, Regardless of whether power is attainable or not, having money makes life easier.

Not entirely true because a person's true nature cannot be measured based on the money and power he has. In my viewpoint from the facts that occur around my life, money and power can influence a person's behavior, but overall do not determine his true nature. It is not surprising that we still find rich people who are generous, they are more likely to use their money and power to help others. Likewise, there are still honest poor people around us, even though they live in constant hardship due to lack of money, but they possess high integrity and honesty.

Reality wise lets be frank right here we knew that the money is the power right now if you have the money, you can get an access, control, and even the power to manipulate if you have the money but of course if you use it in a proper way for sure you will improve what do you have right now even with the people in your environment you can help them too so now the question is are you going to make selfish with your money or you are going to help other people thats the point even you have the power still its all about how you treat it its just a tool or its an opportunity to take an advantage.

If you have money, you can gain power, and if you have power, you can gain money, and if you have both, you can achieve many things in life. Those who have achieved money and power in life have essentially been able to influence people, whether positively or negatively. Those who have acquired both money and power and misused it have been ruined in life. On the other hand, many have used money well, have dedicated themselves to the welfare of people in life, and they are still loved by people.

You watch game of throne? "Power is power". You can have all the money, you will be able to do alot but power will limit you to alot of places. Take for instance America for example, Elon Musk is stinkingly rich and wealthy individual but he lacks power during Biden administration, he was frustrated in many ways, he couldn't do much because he is always surpress when he try to do or air some opinions but you see how he became verbal when Donald was campaigning, it's because they are friends and was part of his election sponsor, withiut him he is money will be limited.

Even as a sitting president, he can have power but there are power that can over rule another power. Donald has never been the friend of Powel which is the current chairman of Federal Reserve. He hate him for personal gain but he can't sack him for that reason and that reason he doesn't have. So there is restrictions to things he can do, that is power by law. He has sack alot of people illegally and there is nothing anyone can do about it because he has it but in this case he is limited.

If you simply want to find ease in life, of course, the solution is simply having more money for yourself. But if you desire power or both in life, it's clearly not enough to simply have money; you also need to have certain groups in various circles who are willing to listen to you and support you in various ways. So, having power is clearly not easy because it always requires a broader scope as initial support, and even support from the government so that the power we desire can be easily achieved immediately.

Yes, that's why money is the root of everything, money is the most powerful, if you have money, you will have everything, and that's why in reality the first step is always to earn money, if you have money, you can live, create security, strengthen your position, everything is possible. The source of power is money, but if you don't have money, you have no value, you have no power, and that's why look at money first, then you will have everything.

Most people in the world want both power and money, these two are very important. But yes, if you have money, of course every person can do anything, everything is possible with money. In the present time, we can see in different societies that the one who has more money is valued. You are right if you have money, then of course you can buy power, above all, money is above all, everything can be done using it. A person with money can be powerful, but a person who does not have money can never be a powerful person. In this world, whoever has more money can take that power, so I must say that money is more important than power, if you have money, power will come automatically.

By having power and money, of course it will be easier to achieve everything they want, but this of course requires a process that is not easy, there are many things they have to prepare to be able to achieve these two things and when someone has obtained these two things but cannot use them for the benefit of many people, it will be very sad when they fall and lose what they have obtained, of course other people only watch without wanting to help them get up, but when someone has money and power can help many people, of course what has been obtained will continue to increase over time, so it is very important for anyone who has money and power to be able to use it for things that are beneficial to many people.

Money is a fundamental part of a person's life; its size and significance can have a significant impact on their lives. It's no surprise, then, that those with a lot of money often command high bargaining power. Some wealthy individuals naturally desire power.

Power typically increases a person's wealth by allowing them to finance major projects and control certain businesses. It's no surprise, then, that many wealthy individuals enter politics to achieve power.

In today's world, it is possible to get power through money, and it is difficult to call someone who does not have money powerful. However, the power of power without money is not strong, because he has to sell that power to a rich person.

So, whether male or female, people show their true colors only when they have a lot of money. When a person, despite having a lot of money, behaves like a normal person and stays away from violence, then you can be sure that even if he is powerful, he will not oppress anyone. I am not talking about masked leaders, because you can never see their real face.

I quite understand all what you have said, but the point I want you to understand here is that money and power does not influence anyone, but what I believed, it show us the true Nature of that particular person. Having money doesn't mean that person will be arrogant but what I want to make clear for you is that you will see some people when they have nothing, they are very humble but immediately they start having money their character change.

Note: i am not generalizing the sudden change of habit, because is not applicable to everyone. Some people are naturally humble and no amount of money will change them.

Money is not power! Money is use to get the finer things in life. And sometimes in most cases money give you access to powerful people who then in turn might use his or her influence for your aid but getting power requires relationships with people in power.

Power can be gotten through coercion and brute force, if you know if you don’t obey there is consequences this in turn gives power to those who wield power the ability to do their bid

So money might give you freedom but power controls how things are perceived and how things work.

What you say is a fact because money is very important for most people in life, which is why everyone seeks it. Furthermore we could also say that money is more important than power, because in any country power can be bought or with money we can easily gain power.

But in human conscience when you become wealthy you will seek honor and that honor can be obtained from power. In fact, the richer you are, the more power becomes the next target. It's not surprising that today we see many wealthy people entering politics because besides seeking honor, they also want to maintain their wealth or businesses. In my country the cost of achieving power is very high; only the wealthy can afford to run for office. We could say that money and power often go hand in hand.

What you said at the end is the actual point. When you have money, you basically have all the power in the world, because you can literally do anything in the world with money, so the more money you have, the more power you have, and if you don't have any money, you don't have any power, basically. Will you ever find a poor person in a gathering where only rich people are present? No, you will never see that, because those who have money and power will only make friends with those who they think are on their level, so if you have money, you are on their level, so money helps you build power.

If you manage to get into the gatherings of the rich and powerful, you basically start to become powerful as you make friends and relationships with those who already have power, and that is only possible if you have a lot of money. So, the moral of the story is, that money is power, and so it's not about which one is more important, because both are important, but one can only be achieved, if you have the other, and the other I'm talking about is money. :)

even Money and power have a great importance in this world. Money gives us many opportunities. Which necessary to meet the needs of our life. When a person has money, he has power like authority. If they uses it positively, they will be able to lead a successful life. it does not mean that you should use your money and power to harm anyone. If we run after money and power, we will lose our true nature and the distinction between good and evil within us will disappear. Although money is useful only you can find solutions to your problems. Your success lies in using money and power for justice and truth. Despite having money and power, if You don't help anyone So you cannot progress in this society.

Money can now transform a person's lifestyle, and this is evident in how some people approach various aspects of life. Money has now become a primary reason in all circles, becoming a crucial bargaining tool.

A person who attains power has certainly traveled many paths, one of which is having a lot of money. A person can have a strong foundation in a particular activity, potentially opening up opportunities when receiving offers from various sources. However, it's not surprising that such things can happen among people with established lifestyles, and they can also afford anything by gaining rights and power.

This means that indirectly money and power are important, but seeing which one is more important depends on how you want to be in which position, personal perspective will indicate the desire within yourself to have power or have money, but at least people who have money must have power and people who have power will definitely be easy for them to get money, these two things can go hand in hand, looking for which one is more important to choose this will be like a paradox because both are very important and very related, money is important and power is important for yourself and your environment.

These kinds of things depend on how the interpretation of power and money is meant in the scope of thinking.

When someone has money, there's a chance they can also gain power but the main capital is still having a lot of money.
I agree that with money, someone will look different but in this world, someone must have money to get everything even respect which comes with having money, So we just need to focus on making as much money as possible, Power is a bonus and I don't deny that almost everyone wants both.

Money and power have a very crucial position in life, especially if they involve a country. Both of them can really influence the policies that will come out, whether they are in favor of ordinary people or more in favor of people who have influence too.

Usually this is based on political interests, and in some cases the two will continue to be seen together. This is actually one of the problems why a country doesn't move, because people who have power and people who have money both think about what will make them profit without thinking about other people, and clearly this is very dangerous.

For me power and money  sounds the same, because once a person is given power that person may decide to intimidate you with his or her power there's nothing anyone can do about it, power simply means an authority given to a person to control and rule just like our politicians, they do anything they like because they have the power, so power and money is similar because once a person has money or in. Power that is when you will know the real character of that person, it's also applicable to both gender.

On my own opinion moreover I think the both sides are important because when it comes to money is what we need to get food and shelter, goods and services all this fundamental needs is allowed when there's money making other purchases and business you can as well live happy with your family, money provides freedom to make personal choices and decisions for yourself making your life easier and more comfortable.


When it comes to power they're some reason it should be very important though the both sides requires freedom because they're some changes that will occur today in the country that will last long in the society either the Rich or poor, exactly what is happening to Nigeria today, money can be stolen but the power can not be stolen.

If I had only one choice as a starting point, I'd also choose money over power. Some people think that gaining power first will allow you to pursue money because businesspeople will rely on you to make policies. But the problem is, if that power isn't strong enough, you can be pressured by those with more power above you. But with money, you can gradually approach those with power at every level. This will give you power with your money. Yes, that's my personal opinion, and I've seen many people who choose money over power.

In my opinion, money can see the true face of a person. Because money is the main power in the current world. A person has a lot of power when he has money. Moreover, if someone is a big fan of power, he also gets sold to money.

To see the true face of a person, you can understand it only by looking at the money he has and the way he uses it. All the powerful people sell their power to a rich person. So in my opinion, money is the most important thing.

Both elements are important or in many cases both depends on each other. If a person have power but lacks money, cannot much influence to anyone. If a wealthier person gain power, they can influence any society or any decision. However if a person have money but no power his influence is limited, they can buy the things but they cannot change the rules they can solve the problems but cannot stop powerful people from affecting them To build powerful and strong image in a society, needs both factors. It's personal approach some people don't care about it but many want to strive for both. So which one is better depends on the personal choices, someone prefer comfort while other like power.

Truth is not all people show true color when having so much money, some people just have a really good PR or genuinely good from the beginning.
I think human show true color a lot more when they're desperate, such as in a financial crisis, etc.

But to reach people who have high power and can sell power to you, you need not only money but a lot of money. You won't be able to access people high powered people with just a little money.

It can be said that both power and money are almost equally powerful, and they feed each other. You can't get ultimate power for just a little money. Or you will make more money more easily and faster if you have ultimate power.

No offense but if someone just chooses money and thinks it's more important, they are just struggling financially and they are just choosing what they need. For those who understand the importance of money and power, they will have to choose between both and find a way to balance them. Owning either of these doesn't guarantee anything.

Most of the time, you won't have power if you don't have money, and we can see this usually in the politics world, among ordinary people — there are those who can, and whatever they say, you're respected only if they think you're rich, so others follow them and give them respect.

Though I’m not saying that all people think or view things this way, I’m only saying this based on what I’ve watched and seen happening in the nature of politics in our country, to be honest.
As others say, you cannot have power if you don’t have a lot of money, which I also believe is really true, in my opinion.

That's what I think, too, when someone has money that can be said to last a long time and in large amounts, people around us will respect us, and indirectly, it also grants power. Those with slightly twisted minds will exploit this, but those with a wise mindset won't exploit it for anything.

I've experienced this myself in my family life. Not having a job or income made me less well-respected in my family. But the situation reversed when I had a job and income, which can also be used as an example of money and power. But I agree that power is a bonus.

However, I think money is definitely necessary it gives security it gives freedom but it seems a bit hollow to say that everything is based on money, because not all respect can be bought with money, and power cannot always be held solely by the power of money. Some people use money to look down on others while others choose a very simple life even if they have money. So it seems that money opens doors, but how a person behaves once inside depends on their mind.

I think that a person's true nature can only be seen and revealed most clearly when they are at the peak of their career and success, not when they are at their most desperate.
Those who have money have power but remain unchanged and not much different from before they were rich. They are really good people and that is their true nature.
And in desperate situations, I think people will behave and act the same. Because then they will be scared, defensive and show more survival instinct than character. In those cases, they react according to the circumstances, not according to their human nature.

Money and power are somehow related and sometimes work hand in hand .
People believe that when you're successful and you have the money you can get to any position you want . I believe that a bit , because there are people I know because of their money given one position or the other and have gotten to levels they want to attain.
 
Likewise same same thing with power. If you're influential leader and someone with authority and power you will always have the money .

The true form of a person is money. If a person has a lot of money or if a person owns a lot of money, then forgiveness will come to him automatically. Everyone in the world runs after money. A person who has money is already a powerful person, he does not have to earn power separately.

A few days ago, I saw in a news that this world is run completely by businessmen, as it were. Big leaders are only fighting in front and a businessman is doing such activities from behind. Yes, I agree on this issue. Because a country's money policy depends on the businessmen of their country. Seeing all this, it seems to me that if there is money, a person becomes a powerful person.

Money and power are not only related, but they are deeply and inseparably connected. They support and nurture each other.

That is why you see that whoever is successful and has money, they will also have power or have connections with people who have power. Or those who have power somehow, they will also be quickly sought out by rich people and earn a lot of money in a short time.

I have never seen anyone who has money but no power or connections to powerful people, and vice versa. Money and power always nurture each other and go hand in hand.

Actually, both money and power show the real face of a person. Now, if I don't have money, then I will never be able to have power. When I have a lot of money, then I will have power. Then I can do whatever I want with my power. But the main thing is, money is the source of all power for me because if people don't have money, then it never has value. Only money is creating a person's power. Imagine one thing. Suppose you don't have money, then no one will care about you. But when you have a lot of money, people will have the mentality of spending money and if you can spend a lot of money, then people will accept your leadership. Whenever people accept your leadership, then you can exercise power over people. So for me, money plays the biggest role in showing people their real face. Then power plays the biggest role.

You get power when you have the money because people see rich people are successful ones and they are ready to follow the successful ones which give the power right? But which one is important is kind of subjective and I feel one can be rich and doesn't want to be a powerful, just stay as an average person so the one who likes it will have at it. So what we have is the choice when we have money.

Both work hand in hand, but I can say that power is more important, because even if you have the money, with power you will have to look for the power so that you will be able to have a say in the community. People tend to forget that power is also necessary. Although there is no point when you have money, you must have power, because money comes with its own power.

I must say, this debate on money and power will not have many points, because both of them work hand in hand. If the topic was money and fame, which one is more important, then the discussion would be sweeter and more encouraging, because people would have their thoughts and would choose the one they think is better, as some don’t know which is better among the two. So by bringing such a discussion, it will make them know more and also understand the difference between both.

Money and power aren't the same thing but they works hand in hand. For me, money is more important than power because when you have money, you have power. With money, you can buy your way into power, control and influence people on power. People will follow the man with a big bag than a man with integrity . You may not hold political offices but people will fear you because you have too much to throw around. Most times, because of Money, a serving military general who commands others to obey orders will be answerable to you when you have money, because money commands loyalty.

This is why so many rich people that we have been seeing with different businesses and investment portfolios have a lot of power to influence the market and make decisions and there will be nobody to dare them. Money is power and that has been one of the reasons why rich people don't brag, they use am their power with the money they have to make decisions that will favour them. There are still people that have power but don't have as much as money that can influence the finances market. These people do use their power to to make rich people bow to them.

After all, no one said money isn't important.
We all agree that money is essential in life because it allows us to survive in the current situation.
It all depends on our mindset. It's pointless to have a government that only cares about money; its honor can be bought. It's a real-life example of how sometimes authorities, while on duty, side with the wrong side, and that's certainly because of money.

It all comes back to one's own personality, it's simple if money can make us fulfill our desires and that will make us happy, I'm not saying that money is for the necessities of life because it is a necessity, it doesn't mean that we only look for money to fulfill our needs but there are many things that must be pursued and fulfilled with money, for example fulfilling desires.
Money is very important and power is also important, these are two things that humans want.

It is true that we cannot deny that money can control everything and is often the main tool for gaining access, influence, and even power in modern society. This usually happens during the campaign in their country during the parliamentary elections in their country. Powerful people are often associated with wealth and money, and how someone handles it can reveal their character, whether they're generous, greedy, or wise. Almost all of them are extremely greedy for wealth and money.

A person is always in a good position because of his power and you cannot achieve that power without money. In any sector where you want power, you have to spend labor and money, so if you have either power or money, you can be in a good position in the society, but if you do not have either of these two, people in the society consider you insignificant. I think money is more important than power because if you have enough money, you can live a good life with your family and also you can use the people who have power as you wish.

That is why we should focus on earning money while we have time, if we want to live well and with respect, and also buy all the things we like, then we definitely need money a lot. Without money, we are actually immobile everywhere, unsuccessful in everything, all hopes and desires will remain unfulfilled, if we cannot earn money. We have to survive before power, and even if we want to live well, we need a lot of money. So the main driving force of life is only money, so think about earning money.

Yes, one of the points of happiness is when we have a lot of money because with it we can fulfill our desires, especially since we live, of course we have desires that we definitely want to achieve and sometimes it requires money to get it or achieve it, even not sometimes, but indeed most of our desires can be fulfilled if we have money. Money is like a basic need that everyone needs, I think there is no one who does not need money in their life. With power itself, I do not pursue it because what I pursue is money because power will follow itself when we have a lot of money.

To have power you need to buy it with a lot of money, it won't come just because you have money. But the opposite is true, if you have power, money will come to you.

But I guess most of us will just need money, few will think about needing power at this point. Because most of us are not financially well off and all the troubles we face in life revolve around money. So, given a choice between the two, most of us would choose money over power.

I personally, I strongly believe that money is more important than power, money and power may be the same, but what I believe is they are strongly connect, the world we are living now money becomes bridge to respect and influence, the reason why I said so because with money you can be able to buy or influence power, when there's money you don't bother to hold political offices, with money they will put you in a room where titles don't matter at all, that is why I believe that money is important, the honest person may be respected, but a person with funds is often followed, that's reality of people in life, so while power is value, money still remains foundation.

Both reinforce each other, and the initial requirement is certainly having basic capital: money. Money is a medium to convince people that we have sufficient capital to gain political power. But behind all this, the reality we often see is that in many cases, integrity always earns long-term respect, but money only provides real influence in day-to-day decisions.

When compared to everyday behavior, it's inevitable that people tend to respect the wealthy and listen to all their words and requests. So, it's not surprising, because this is the way it is and has become a social custom in everyday life.

Money and power can influence a person's true character, and this often affects how they interact in real life. I've seen several changes in people when they have money and power, and their behavior can generally change drastically in their social and other areas. Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, as many people with wealth and power also live their social lives as usual. But this often happens to those who previously lacked money and power. When they achieve both simultaneously, their attitudes and behaviors can change rapidly.

A person's character becomes more apparent when they have a lot of money and power because of the habit of losing awareness of how they normally live when they have both. We tend to see this problem in our social environment, and even the rapid changes that occur after they acquire both.

Money and power are like mirrors they don’t really change a person they just reveal who they already are deep down when someone gets access to wealth or authority the mask they used to wear falls off because they finally have the freedom to act without fear of consequences.

You can tell the difference between someone who was humble because they had no choice and someone who’s genuinely kind by how they behave when they’re in control money gives comfort and choices power gives influence and command both can expose greed arrogance or compassion depending on what’s inside the person. Most times people who come from nothing and suddenly gain both tend to change the fastest not because they were bad before but because they never had the discipline or self awareness to handle it it’s why some stay grounded and others lose themselves completely money and power don’t corrupt on their own they just amplify whatever was already within.

It makes sense, we have opposing views, and that's good.
After reading your statement, I'm thinking that with money, everyone can submit, and with power, everyone can submit too, but sometimes money can still trump power, in my opinion. I respect your opinion; it's a good one, my friend.

Realistically, everyone needs money. I believe money is something everyone needs, whether to survive or to fulfill their own desires.

In my own perspective and principle, it may be true that through money, a person's true colors or character is revealed whether an individual is good or bad. And through it, people are also made to follow it. But there are others who are the ones controlling money.

Those people who are controlled by money are the individuals whose mindset is that they cannot live without money this is just my opinion. Because if money is used in moderation,
I think one wouldn't need power like what politicians and wealthy people do when they desire such things.

What you say is indeed a fact that we can see for ourselves in life, as I have often seen people with a lot of money manipulate those in power at will. This is especially true if those in power are ordinary people who were once poor and desperately wanted to enrich themselves when they held certain positions in government. Naturally, they will also care more about people with money and a way of thinking similar to theirs. For some people who already have power and money, it feels like a perfect life, making anything they want to do become very easy.

Well it depends on the segment of power you are focusing? Because as for me we have different kinds of power that really influenced people in different minds and perspectives, we have the following perspectives of power, and mind you power and money works in pareparsue that is work in side by side, the importance is as follows

1. Power gives you right to control people.to have influence on other people
    With the power invested in you, you are capable of controlling things

2. While money gives you, comfortable  with )

Men are judged by their money, but women are judged by their beauty, and I've seen this happen in almost every country.

However, between money and power, power is the most influential. That's why many wealthy people compete to become heads of state, even willing to spend large sums of money.

Why should we focus on choices? Isn't doing good or living a normal life as usual in a social relationship a necessary behavior in society? Money and power are merely tools for a person, and they never last forever. There are times when they are faced with losing both simultaneously. Power is only a temporary gift that will disappear at any time according to the political influence of the power they gain. Money and power will disrupt the social fabric of society because people generally lose themselves when they acquire both simultaneously.

What drives people to change, and money and power are usually two important tools that can propel them to achieve change beyond their usual means. Greed and arrogance over their achievements can cause people to forget their roots, leading them to act arbitrarily in their daily lives. Although not everyone may behave the same way when they acquire both simultaneously, money and power typically change people's character.

Money is power, and power means everything possible to their eyes, who have already decided this earth is everything for them. Power implies the ability to do anything, whether legally or illegally. And if it’s inculcated with money, then it’s dangerous. Basically, for someone who has a lot of money, this earth is easy to survive. If not, the Lord goes against him.

In general, it says, "People are known very well when they are in power.
At present, you will notice that humans are crazy to earn money, and for that, they are sacrificing their honesty, and after becoming wealthy, they are becoming more corrupt.

I think the freedom of democracy is stronger than anything else. If you compare money here, money will lose. Because even though money can buy everything, it cannot buy the inner heart of a person, nor can it buy courage or respect.
If I talk about the context of my country, after 16 long years, the dictatorial ruler of our country has fallen, where 1400 people were martyred and millions of people were injured. But from that moment till now, the dictator has looted billions of dollars through corruption. Even though they have money in their hands, they could not survive the power of the people.

I'm disagree with the idea of confining man to money and woman to beauty it is not a standard or criteria to judge anyone. we do not create gender discrimination, for the economy men and women both are important and both can play role to stimulate the economy. Attaching women only beauty is unfair. While in the choice of money or power, power is not ultimate goal for every one. Some people prefer to making wealth, building business and developing more projects. However for me both are closely interelated But do not give important one factor only. it's money who made the road easy for you. With money you can get nobel place in the society. Through your respectable image you can build influencial  impact on the others. Whereas Money is a tool by which you can buy anything, power often follow. if you have money it means you have power

Simple answer I think, you have money absolutely you have full power control everything how nowadays many rich person plunge into the world of politics to be able to have full power. The power actually depend on how much money do you have firstly and difficult get power without support with the money, if you want comparison which one important between money and power fully my answer is money.

Have much money you can do anything and easily control top politician person, without have money if you have good decision can't accept well by many people but with the money easily to change people's minds. If want to build anything as business or politician you must have much money first than the power will follow you easily.

I disagree with the idea that having money gives you complete control over everything. Like what is happening in US politics, Elon is the richest man in America and has quite a bit of influence in politics. But do you think he can control the Trump administration and do whatever he wants? I believe you also know about the argument between them a few months ago, and you also see who has the upper hand, right?

So it is not entirely true to say that money alone can control and dominate everything. If you want to have full power and do whatever you want, you need to have both money and power.

The reality that is happening now is that money is everything, if we have a lot of money then power will also be easy for us to get, the same thing applies to women who currently always rely on men who have a lot of money to be their life partners, and for those of us who do not have money or power, we must accept this, so as you said if we have a lot of money we can control everything and those who have high positions will submit to us, this has been proven in the field and is no longer foreign to all of us as humans.

It is not wrong to say that money is everything and that is why the whole world is racing to make money by any means. But to say that with money we can control everything, including power, I am a bit skeptical.

In my opinion, power and money go hand in hand, they complement and nourish each other. Because you can buy power if you have a lot of money but it's also easier to make more money if you have power. People of high status will serve and satisfy your needs when you have a lot of money but when you have power, people with money will come to flatter you.

To be able to control anything, you need both money and power.

Money is everything, money can buy everything, that is probably only true for ordinary people like us. But I don't think money can buy everything when it comes to politics. I believe that politics and power in politics are perhaps more complex and beyond our imagination.

Like what happened in my country. For example, there are many rich people and billionaires who still have to go to jail and pay the price if their bad behavior or fraudulent business operations are exposed. It can be said that they are super rich, not just wealthy. If money can buy everything, including supreme power, why can't they escape?

In my opinion, power in politics does not come only from money, and money is not the most powerful thing and can do everything in politics.

Money have limitation not even in politics alone, for instance most of our celebrities you see today, they have this money and they use this money to prevent themselves of getting old, fixing their skin everyday but despite that the nature count on them. This shows that money have limitation, and again most of them die due to a lot of loneliness.

In this regard it's all depends on the nations that are not corrupt, unlike our nation honestly if you have money you can go a long way because money and politics are connected, those that have money get involve in politics to protect themselves. All this is done, by spending it out for politicians before assuming office.

Yes, power and money are two different things, that is why people that already have money are seriously eager to have power so that no one can stop them. When you have power you have money but when you have money you look for power.

The difference lies in the facilities, sometimes those who have a lot of power or wealth but the circumstances when they are caught and detained are usually they are detained in comfortable conditions, this proves that they still have power even though they are detained, and I think there are also people who are rich with wealth who can escape from detention whether during trial or after being detained. Because I have never experienced it myself, so I can only speculate. Everyone needs money, and maybe those who are rich and detained but cannot escape because they failed to master the security environment, in other words the security is really good, because they could be released quickly if the rich perpetrator managed to bribe the security.

I think your country probably values ​​fairness, so everyone is treated equally. I mean, in most countries, wealthy people, especially billionaires, have privileges that middle-class or poor people don't. Rich people will still have problems with the law. And if they have to go to jail due to public pressure, they'll have access to luxury amenities that others don't. Billionaires get VIP rooms and can probably go in and out of prison for vacations. I think money still equates to power, because you can get special treatment with it.

It is very natural that those who have a lot of money will definitely get more benefits than others. The most valuable thing in the world is only money, if you have money, you can get all kinds of benefits, you will not be left behind in anything, if you have money. I agree that in all cases, everywhere, there will be a difference between the rich and the poor, in all cases, if a poor person makes a mistake, it is a crime, if a rich person makes the same mistake, it is called a wrong decision, but it does not matter, dark Reality.

That will certainly happen, with having a lot of money they will have privileges that poor people don't have. But that shows that money is powerful but not necessarily can buy everything as we think. If it could buy everything including ultimate power then those rich people would not have to go to jail. Because even if they are treated like a king in prison, the truth is they still have to go to prison and be punished by the law no matter how rich they are.

Money cannot exert its full power without the support of power.
