People are not motivated by money.

[Janation]

but IMHO , money right now is the main idea why people do their job , but yeah not all people like that , but majority are like that and that real happens

Yes that is the truth of today.Money brings happiness to the people because if you have money,you can buy all the goods and services you want.And without having enough money today,you can barely survive in this world.

It is true that people can barely survive this world not having enough money but people should consider their salary and where should their salary make their lives better, they should consider their place to live.

I am not saying that people can't live wherever they want to live but the thing is that they will be having a poor life if they will be living in a city than living in towns or provinces. I live in a province and having a little wage do not concern us because we can get anything, not everything but be contented to what we have from nfood to entertainment.

If you like what you do and you're happy there you will not have to worry about money because you've got your dream come true and that is your passion that money cant complete it, so If I do my passion like being as a youtuber and content creator money couldn't motivate me but it can help me to do a lot of things being what I wanted.

I think people are often affected and motivated because of the success of people and have been able to get a lot of money so many people will make themselves to inspire people and many people will want to emulate their success as successful people.

Yes, but today's life style usually involved with money to make them move with accordance with the norms of society, so I think money is a factor of why people motivated to work and that is to earn money for their love one's to support their needs and wants for them to be happy and comfortable in this money driven society.

Not everyone is motivated by money. I mean slot of people have lived their lives without the thought of money simply because they're not exposed to it. Others simply wants to perfect their chosen craft. Capitalism or no, people will work their ass off not just for money but for something bigger than themselves.

Looks like majority of the people quest for this one thing called money. Without money, nations have ceased growing, starvation on its peak in majority of the South African states and so on. Every country is trying to allocate the maximum of their budget to buying weapons for increasing security and power like the North Korea.

Regardless of what old people did, today the thing is completely opposite and the more money you have, the more power and influence over the political system you enjoy. If we look at the international trade, and the currency in which the trade is being carried out since long, you actually see how America is using the power of dollar to keep its hold tight in the rest of the countries.

[Betwrong]

I would say 95% of activates are motivated by money than other stuffs.

That's right, 95% or even more are motivated by money. Only brainwashed people like those living in North Korea can be motivated by Juche ideology being in fact slaves to Kim family. Same goes for people working for free in various religious sects, but at least they can chose whether to do it or not, while people born under a regime similar to North Korean's can't choose anything. Imo in a healthy society people should be motivated by money in the first place.

People say this because they thought money is the answer to all of man's problem or even can be motivated by money.. it can be provided with right thinking and good heart but if its all for selfish gain then its wrong...sometimes people tell all these, alluring them to good fortune and great profit

[policeoo]

You think people are not motivated by money? I think this is not true. Money is that is creating all of this, and money is moving each and every one of us to go to work every day, to work hard and to earn some money, so we could save some and invest it smartly in something we find best for us and our families.

[HI KITTY]

This is a divided stand. On a normal situation when people may not need money, everything doesn't have to priced. On the other hand it would be easy to do things with money. This idea can be proven by events happening in the real world. Look at how corruption becomes an almost fulltime job for them.  This is just a clear proof that money is a motivation.

people are motivated by what they want to achieve and their love ones not by money .

Money attracts people to enter crypto, there are things that crypto gives opportunities to the needy even to those who still have and want to improves their living.

everyone will definitely want money to get it they are willing to work hard so that successful people will surely be many people who imitate for their success too

I always hear the argument for capitalism "B bb BUT people won't innovate without the profit motive" WRONG

Humans want to solve problems, create, and innovate, they do not need money to motivate them.  Cavemen were painting art 20,000 years ago without the desire of money.

True scientists like Tesla, he didn't care about money it was about the pursuit of science.

Capitalism does not cause innovation, most new technology is found by government programs like nasa (internet, smartphones, etc)

You are completely true. The kind of people you are talking about, I think they had it in themselves to do something big in life. Such people do not need any kind of motivation. They are bold and courageous enough which acts as their motivation. I don’t think so any person can make such great inventions like Microsoft, smartphone, etc in the wake of money. These people had great ideas which they implemented and money itself came to their door.

It is strange that you mentioned Microsoft in this context

And while we are at it, could you remind us what great inventions Microsoft made or how is it itself a great invention?  If anything, Microsoft has been slowing advances in IT for the last twenty years at the very least. Should I in turn remind you of their FUD campaign against Linux, their being behind SCO attack on free software, their nefarious practices of privatizing and monopolizing open standards, and whatever else they are doing to stifle and extinguish free competition in the field? On the other hand, they didn't invent anything themselves, they had just been stealing ideas and whole products (e.g. DOS) all the time and then paying or just telling people to shut the fuck up

This is horribly misguided. Humans want to solve problems, create and innovate, yes. But it is the profit motive directs and focuses that innate drive into the most efficient and productive manner. As long as money has been a concept, it has always driven activity and informed decision-making. It wasn't until money that humankind started advancing as a society. It was trade and economic activity (the pursuit of wealth) that advanced society faster and faster. To maintain we would have achieved the advancement of our society without the concept of money is naive.

Please don't compare the current life with stone age and cavemen does not desire to get money because money still not exist at that time and compare from the current age when most people life because of money then i think difficult to find there is person which does not motivated by money because admitted or not we cannot life without money and everything we buy should be use money so people were created new things basically they want to get more money

[hotBriX001]

For my own opinion, I think if there are people who are not really motivated with money maybe 10 percent of the population worldwide can be put it into this. Because as we can see the economics of each countries really need financial stability or money to get well develop and many government establishment works through money movements and circulation. So how come people will not be motivated with money as this is the important things of living.

If you are a normal person you will be motivated by money ,only the sick mind persons are not motivated because of unusual sickness ,but for those who are seeking a good a nd happy life they will be motivated by money , because this medium of exchange can really make a different thing especially for good intentions and not for greedy and selfish motive.

money is our goal for life, if we are not motivated and looking for money, what do we live for? if there is no money, what do we want to fulfill life? because all of that requires money to buy something we need

Definitely, money is now the basis of people of having a perfect life, if you huge amount of money everything are now attainable for you. Some of them are using money to solve their problem. Nowadays, money has a big impact, if you don't have any of it then everyone will criticize you as hindrance for them and that is the sad reality.

[goaldigger]

What motivates people is imagining what they dream of. But i dont agree that peoole are not motivated by money because it covers all. If a person dreamt of a comfortable life then he need money. Same as if he wants to escape debt cage. He also needed it if he want to establish his own business or even going a trip abroad. Yeah, even we dont admit, still money drives us to go further.
