Money is never enough!

[Litzki1990]

Money is not everything in life but people run after this money. It is only for this money that various unpleasant events occur. Greed for money is terrible. From low class people to high class people all run after this money. Kidnapping, murder, embezzlement are all done by people to increase their money. Conflicts arise between people because of money.

The disparity between the rich and the poor is created because of this money. You have rightly said that when people have money, people's ego increases. The addiction to money income makes us forget that we are human beings and we all have to leave this world one day by giving up the illusion of money. If you think about these things, you will not think that money is everything in life. When you leave the world, people will say what you have done for people. If you have done something good, people will remember it for the rest of their life.

I think it all comes down to being grateful. People will never have enough money if they are not grateful for what they have. I once read these words "whoever is not grateful for a little, he will not be able to be grateful for something a lot" and these words are true.

Money is indeed our daily needs. Money is always needed all the time. But, still we should be grateful. The main core that makes us lose is too greedy.

Depends on what amount and what you are as an individual. People with big pockets are ending up broke simply because of their decisions and how they make use of their money in the first place. You could have huge amount of money but if you won't be able to use it to something which would generate more, then what's to expect?

Have you ever fetched water and keep in drum before?
Yes, this is a good example of money, whenever you are being employed and you starts working you didn't make a savings that is what would happen to you. As a man no matter how big is your drum ones you keep using it without replacement and or even refilling the drum you ends of being a loser because your drum would be empty.
Money is meant for planting and not for wasting into what you know that may not yield results to you.

The goal is to find more outlets or sources to continue filling that 'drum'. Indeed if you are jist opening up the hole or jist make use of your savings without any return it will jist be empty in the long run. Ofcourse in every action there'll be risk but atleast it should be manageable.

The cited story is somehow a reflection of how most of us are spending our own funds. No matter how huge our funds are, if it would be overwhelmed by our expenses then nothing would be left.

That's why we should also try to live within our budget and income to at least have savings, the fact is that most of us don't plan life rather we plan living. Living I mean is how we spent our time with money earn from job or whatever but real life story is hidden behind which we have to tackle. Life is to set a financial flow of income were we might able to go work and yet stay at home while your money work for your money ( meaning your business generates your money) without you going to work anymore again, this is called life planning.

Think of when you hit a jackpot, and some cool cash slide into your pocket, you feels better and step up some pride and involved arrogance, you feel like you can buy the world with your peanuts lol, bro, I little shopping out of it can makes you look like a poor man again. There is this oil dealer guy in my community who happen to be hot market pro in the oil industry, he owns an oil well but this guy it gets to his head and start contesting for political power which he has lose twice now and the worst of it now is that the oil well is dried because suck the money into politics, loss everything. This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.

The guy in your story is not contented on the money he has so he tried to gain power in politics. Losing once can already make you realize that maybe that path is not meant for you, but he tried twice resulting to financial losses followed by his failing business. In this story the guy is just greedy for wanting more even he already have money.

So it's not because money is not enough, but it's because of the greed of people for not being contented despite of having sufficient money to live comfortably. So it depends for each person and their level of contentment.

[awik p]

most people will improve their lifestyle as their income increases. or even the necessities of life will appear on their own as the business grows. therefore we must be able to be people who remain simple even though the business continues to grow. On the other hand, political factors cannot be separated from bigger businesses, and of course we must be able to calculate them properly, otherwise it will backfire on ourselves, which will eventually stop our business.

Yes, because of our needs, money is never really enough. Without it, we may not be able to purchase the things we want in life.And when we don't invest money or have other kinds of income, whatever amount of money someone may have will undoubtedly run out one day if no further funds are being added to it. During inflationary periods, someone's money may very quickly run out because the cost of commodities keeps rising. Consider a person who had $10 million 70 years ago. Had the individual not invested the money or chosen not to seek out additional sources of income, the person would not likely have as much money today.

[Kelvinid]

Having 1 million in our hands is not enough if we are greedy people and aiming more is literally what is on their minds. Contentment is somewhat missing if you believe yourselves that you can earn more and this is what happens to the person that you have talked about OP. And this can possibly happen to anyone who is never satisfied or never find themselves contentment. And it was hard for them to find happiness when deep inside they feel emptiness and greediness. 

[Gallar]

More precisely, it's not the money that's never enough, but the lust and desire that never has enough. Everyone in this world I believe the majority would want money and are working to get money. This action is very good, because you are definitely willing to work to be able to cover the needs of yourself and your family. But what is unnatural and seen to be controlled by money and especially by their passions, there are many people who are crazy about getting money, even though the money they have is more than enough, you could even say it is enough for seven generations. But I can't blame people like that, because it's their right and maybe it's a hobby they like. But from the point of view that I understand and understand, such things are indeed too exaggerated and too greedy.

So in conclusion, don't want to be driven and controlled by lust and money, but we as humans, on the other hand, must be able to drive and control these two things.

It all depends on the person, for some an oil well is not enough, but for some a good job will be enough. Maybe it's about ambition, I don't know, I doubt very much that I would ever want to become a politician. There is an opinion that when a person has a lot of money, he strives for power.

An oil well could definitely help fulfill any desire, and it was also possible to diversify this source of income into others, like real estate, and thus secure a comfortable life. Money is not the main thing in life, and I do not agree that money is constantly lacking, you can find a balance in which you can feel comfortable.

[KiaKia]

You use money to make more money, that's why we have to spend less and investment most of the money we make, this is the only way to be in good shape for the future, and instead of mocking the man OP you should learn from him, because what happened to him can happen to anybody.

I used the word mocking because you made it sound that way, if a man finds a way out of poverty he will change, the way he talks and compose himself will change, and many people who knew him before will believe he is now showing himself off.

You need to check yourself very well, put yourself in his shoe, the moment you are able to get into a stage that many people are struggling to get to, you are have automatically become a target of hate and envy.

He wants to grow higher, and we all know how richer one can get if they are into politics, and now that he failed, do not laugh yet, because he now has more knowledge from the experience, if he is strong, he will make a bigger come back.

For this reason, it is necessary to have fund management by allocating it to various sources of income. So, from the profit from oil, we process it into new businesses, such as investing in gas, coal, or gold. Everything should be expanded in order to avoid incidents like this. For example, Saudi Arabia, which is currently depleting its oil reserves, is starting to look for other alternatives in order to maintain the country's position as an oil-rich country. Building luxury hotel facilities for real estate investment. Expanding into the overseas business sector and having bilateral relations with several Western countries such as Russia, China, the US, and India. It's not a matter of whether money is limited or not, but depending on one flow of funds it seems as if money is limited. The government can print more money at the rate of inflation if you are willing to continue to act as a money launderer.

This caption can go in many contexts as money is never enough can be taken in contentment side thankyou are never satisfied with the money you have you always want to make more and more money those desires are endless and limitless. This greed and urge to get more sometimes leads you to wrong directions.

Because money is power. People go into politics to gain connections and establish their name to gain more power. And politics is also money. They spend a lot of funds on election campaigns as their investments. They spend on ads, people who'll campaign for them, etc so that their name can be recognized and heard by a lot of people. Because once they win, they can get back the amount they spend on the campaign, and can even gain more profit from it. Also, even if you have your own business, there are more money in politics because it's the public's fund. That's why you can see that even the rich families who have their stable businesses will still try entering politics because of connections, money, and power.

[Porfirii]

There is a sentence like "money is not everything, but everything needs money".

There is another good sentence like: "Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile". I think it is the perfect complement to your sentence.

Back to the OP, if one doesn't tame his greed with the help of love (love from others and towards others), is it worth living? The owner of the well: wouldn't he be happier if he had invested his money in businesses with a positive impact on society, or his family, than in his failed political campaign?

To me, there is a point where money is enough, but that's not the way we are educated in West countries.

[Sterbens]

There are several differences in the perspectives of the poor and the rich regarding the income they earn. Let's say poor people get a Jackpot where they will spend on items they have never bought as a form of fulfilling their ambitions while still poor. But if the jackpot goes to the rich with enough fulfillment, they can either spend it or turn it into a source of investment because the rich know better how to expand their funding.

Money is never enough? Of course money is pretty hot, the more money you have, the more you want to own something. The greater the income, the greater the expenses. No wonder why you say the money you have can never be enough to fulfill someone's ambition. However, just like your friend who has sufficient finances and oil resources, if he is unable to manage them, he will be confused. Even though he claimed to be pro-market in the oil industry. doesn't that sound weird?

Money can never be enough because the price of things keep rising, inflation keeps making the money you have saved lose value that's why it's better to invest your more in assets like Bitcoin that'll increase the value of your money than saving or investing with banks that don't give you good profits instead make you lose money with their service changes.

Money is never enough that's why you need to learn a skills that can help you with your current job to get a better pay or help you later in life when you don't have a salary job. Also the skills can help you earn more as a side hustle so you have enough money to take care of bills.

From low class people to high class people all run after this money. Kidnapping, murder, embezzlement are all done by people to increase their money. Conflicts arise between people because of money.

All the sins you mentioned are not caused by money, the root of everything is human greed, selfishness, absolutely not money's fault. Money is just a product that we create to serve us, but we also make it into something we have to run after and obey, but in the end, the manipulator behind everything is our greed.

The disparity between the rich and the poor is created because of this money. You have rightly said that when people have money, people's ego increases. The addiction to money income makes us forget that we are human beings and we all have to leave this world one day by giving up the illusion of money.

If you have done something good, people will remember it for the rest of their life.

I believe everyone, including you and I are aware of this. But we can't do that because no money in this day and age affects not only you but also the lives of your loved ones. So you can't stop making money and always treat it as everything because when you have money, you will have it all.

Broadly speaking in the world that Money is everything and with Money we will have everything we need and it's no wonder those who live in a thirsty world looking for money everywhere, but to be honest when Money can control someone I think from here they will slowly be destroyed by money, like the story of your friend who tried to join in politics and caused the oil wells he owned to almost run dry because of his financing to participate in politics, and the result was a failure.

People who feel thirsty and greedy for money, we think they will always fail in their lives, take the example of those who always have enough control over their finances, even though the strength is relatively low compared to other entrepreneurs, but the example here is the management of their finances which the orderly, and I think they will always have enough of that.

Everyone has a different point of view, sometimes they already occupy positions above with relatively high income but what they want is more, they will compete to want more, because the bigger the position, the bigger the need because sometimes people never feel enough, and give birth that money is never enough, and this does not apply to those who are wise in managing their finances.

You need to study Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to understand the motivations for human behavior. Money are at the bottom of that model and at the top you will get self-actualization. Once you achieved the lower level of needs (money gives you food and water and security) .. then you strive to achieve the higher levels of needs.

The oil tycoon achieved the lower levels of his needs and to get power as a politician, was simply the next step in the evolution of humans. (Money and Power goes hand in hand)

Be careful not to fall into Kahneman's "theory-induced blindness":

Once you have accepted a theory and used it as a tool in your thinking, it is extraordinarily difficult to notice its flaws. If you come upon an observation that does not seem to fit the model, you assume that there must be a perfectly good explanation that you are somehow missing. You give the theory the benefit of the doubt, trusting the community of experts who have accepted it.

Think that Maslow's hierarchy of needs may not be universal. Franciscans and other mendicant friars, for instance, leave the satisfaction of the lowest levels of needs to the end. I guess that Maslow's only right in a capitalist economic model, and even there some people are free to change the hierarchy, or at least find a more original way of self-actualisation than Power.
