Money addiction

[adaseb]

Everyone wants more money because more moneys means you have a greater life for yourself and your family. This isn’t to say that money will make you happy. But the general consensus is that money will in fact make it easier for you in life compared to having less money.

Those that are addicted to money and take risks with it are different. Many go and gamble their money because they are greedy and want more. There are many that take high leverage futures trades because they are greedy instead of just investing in spot. Or they don’t take profit from some alt coin that doubled in value because they think it might 10x. And it’s the greed which turns to fear.

His words should probably be changed because regardless of anything this is probably more appropriate to the necessities of life not addiction because after all in this case money is a legitimate tool that is indeed the most important part of our daily lives and everyone needs it so it cannot be said to be an addiction because if it is defined as an addiction then indeed only a handful of people really want money but for now and from the beginning everyone needs money to live and that cannot be denied.

By looking at this condition, it is actually a natural situation if indeed we cannot live and move freely without money because indeed from the beginning since the creation of money it has been set to be the most important part to make us unable to be free so it is certain that there will be a need that continues to occur because indeed money is currently the primary part that becomes the benchmark of a person's life.

Everyone has their own perception of how to increase their own money, you can’t terminate someone's perception or thinking. It is because they are greedy, and to me, I can just say that being addicted to money is like having the potential to make a lot of money, so when you want to make that much money, you have to join diverse ways and take risks, if not, you will hardly find it easy to be successful. 

Joining gambling or any source of risk is not greedy, it is just a process to get more than what you already have. Let me even ask you: How sure are you that if someone like that invests in sports, he won’t lose his money? Even the spot you are seeing is also riskier than gambling itself, so any risk carried by an investor or a rich person is not called greediness but just a source to increase your profile and income.

I don't know if it's right to use the word 'addiction' but I am not convinced that it is the right word to use. You can use word "inquisitive" Instead of addiction. People are really inquisitive to make money because money is what can be used to satisfy our needs. It becomes obvious that everyone needs money to be able to meet their end needs, people need to pay rent, pay school fee, buy house, buy car, live a healthy live, etc, so there is a wide need to be inquisitive for money.

I wouldn’t call that addiction of money. If you gave the chance so people wouldn’t work, almost everyone would take it. But you can’t be caught slacking because poverty is usually around the corner of lazy people. You do not want to appear as one. What can we do today without money? Money solves a lot of problems and without it, the problems are usually more weighty and multiple. There’s really need for striving to make money.

I agree, all people want to earn money and everyone is finding its way to earn money into different things that's why there are a lot of ways discovered in order to earn money and one of it is crypto currency, I honestly admit that I also obsessed in earning koney but of course with proper procedure, what I mean is that I do things to earn money in a right way and in a good way, I think what we can be considered to be addicted in money is those greedy people that will do anything in order to eanr koney, they can do bad things and bad stuff in order to have the wealth they want, for example scamming people, stealing and many more, but for those hard working people who do anything to earn of course with the right way, is I think should not be called addicted to money, they are just doing what they can in order to survive everyday and have a proper life that they are dreaming of.

Scamming people to make money is a really terrible thing to do. Not just to the person you’re scamming but to yourself. Many do not understand that there is an effect of properly working for your money. Asides from being on the run and always living with fear, you will never have experience because you too the short route. It’s smart to make money through due processes, learn how to grow, and even if something went wrong, with your experience you’re wealthy, because your wealth won’t be in your pocket but in your head.

There must be an addiction to money because without money you cannot move forward in life life will not be beautiful. Even if you think about the future life, you have to be addicted to money. Don't you see what is happening in your country?  Why are so many countries moving towards economic recession?  Don't you think some cliques of people in your country are looting all the money for personal gain. Your money, my money, people's money is being grabbed by political parties through power. If you look at the way of life of people in many countries of the African continent, what are the main reasons for the economic collapse of all those countries. Do you want to live like that country and its people, surely not. There is no guarantee that where the future life will be, there must be some alternative of money income from the beginning of life. If you have money you can eat, if you eat you can live.

[Hispo]

I believe it would be important for the sake of this discussion to make clear that there are many differences between addiction to money, greed and the necessity to get more money.
It would seem that in this current society, it does not matter the social or economical status people have, there is always a constant pursue to accumulate more capital, the people within the left political side will say that is not natural and it is a consequence of a predatory system, while people on the right political spectrum will say it is okey to have such a system, as helps to grow competition.

Feeling like having more money  is not a mental illness, because it obviously makes our life easier and better. The addiction of money to be is a synonym for greed. And greed can only lewd to evil, evil specifically committed fit the sake of accumulation of wealth.

Just think a bit about it, there are people in this planet who have enough money to live comfortably the rest of their life and the coming generations of their family and yet they to increase their value through devious means. That is what is supposed to be called out by us.

In this life, of course, everyone needs money to be able to meet the needs they need and it is very unlikely that someone who doesn't have money will be able to meet their needs, so it is important for us to have a job that can provide us with income so that we can meet the needs we need.

It is true that there are some countries whose rulers are greedy and only care about a part of their group and the people in these countries will have economic difficulties and even the poverty level in these countries is very high and many people also have difficulty finding jobs that give them money to meet their needs.

Capitalist economic systems exist throughout the world where the majority of wealth is held by a few and the majority of people are largely poor or middle class. Those who have mountains of wealth are eager to get more wealth at any cost. They are exploiting the poor people in various ways like increasing the prices of goods. They are not paying proper wages to various lower and middle class people. Governments of different countries also continue to support them because they have a lot of resources. Ordinary people act only as usable agents. The rich class of people are enticing to make laws in their favor and increase their wealth even more by raising the prices of goods at every stage and reaping their profits.

I agree with you here because almost everyone has a high interest in making money in this world. There is no level of finance that this 9% will be satisfied with. The problem is that most of these people get to have more and more responsibility as time goes by and inflation increases every month I would say yearly. And it's so annoying that the monthly income or minimum wages of workers remain the same every single year and the government is not doing anything to harness the situation. Op, I wouldn't call it addiction because almost everyone wants the money and it is what it is. People in high places want more what do you think the poor and the middle class would do? There is no solution to money addiction and as time goes by the urge for money will continue to increase.

On a scale of 1-10 I will say 9 out of every 10 are addicted to making more money even though not everyone attain this height at the end of the day. We live in an every hiking economic society. Prices of commodities keep changing as each day passes by. This has invariably triggered the addiction to more money as the usual earnings is no longer enough to maintain once life style.

Many have been forced into adapting to their current spending ability, others have deviced means to earn more so as to meet up others has choosen the looting method just to survive.

Based on this Ninety percent of people in every sector of life has higher chances of looting only that most people are not privileged to get the opportunity to carryout what's in their minds

Our needs influence our actions. So we are constantly working to meet our needs (which may increase due to social or economic reasons). Think back to a few decades ago when there was no such upward movement in market value, so people were not as desperate for extra income as they are today. As the price of everything is constantly increasing nowadays people are engaging in various activities for extra income. It even gives rise to crime. Another reason is that nowadays people are much more aware and worried about the future than in the past. Due to this almost everyone is addicted to making money.

[adiksau0414]

it is normal. People live and need money to buy all the necessity needed for everyday life. I can say its 10 out of 10 scale, because all of wants money. In any means people will seek money. But as time goes by and everything changes in prices, more people are doing double time to make money. Even children are also more practical in choosing money rather than buying some toys. ( cause most of this children now are exposed in the reality of life)

Now that's just some seriously bad English, son.  You lost me with the first sentence, and I can't say that anything you wrote after that makes much more sense.  I'd say this was an AI-generated post, but it's missing the 'intelligence' component and I doubt an AI program would write something as nonsensical as this.

And look at these replies that follow....wow.  This forum is going downhill faster than it was in 2017 or thereabouts.

Your point is noted, indeed, the rising wave of financial discontent and difficulties that many face, struggling to keep their heads above water in a sea of mounting duties and inflation. While it is true that most seek ways to bump up their income in tandem with the ever-spiraling cost of living, reality often paints a different picture. As if stuck in stasis, incomes stagnate; meanwhile costs merrily pirouette upwards without restraint. This disparity exerts colossal pressure, particularly bearing down heavily upon the already burdened poor and middle class strata within society.

The problem is significant enough that the government needs to act but, typically, standalone actions by governments are inadequate. A minimum wage that does not keep up with inflation leads to erosion of people's purchasing power which in turn exacerbates the economic inequality. What has to be done with stronger determination is more pro-worker policies so as to lead people towards greater decent livelihood.

It is important, however, to appreciate that the aspiration for more wealth is not always negative. Money serves as a tool for satisfying our needs, attaining security and even contributing to societal well-being.

Money has become a part of we humans just like without air we can't live and is normal to say without money things won't go the way we want (is ok to say we need money in our life), we have to push ourselves to that extra miles to make that money. Even after making that money we as humans can never be satisfied which means we need more money, to some they only need the money just to be financially stable.
When we get obsessed with money that thought of getting it will never leave our mind, it becomes difficult to only think of a positive way to get it, whichever way either by stealing or looting like the OP said will always be an option. Worries about money take up the emotional mental space of our life, things we do is all about calculating how or when to get it, staying with people around us becomes a problem and is like we need to meet up to the standard of thae world meanwhile we forget that is not everything that works the way we plan them, and we won't devote the little time we have to enjoy life and being with loved ones all in the name of how we feel about money and how to get it.

A fact. From a better point of view, many people are just aware of how high the market price of marketable goods have increased and being addicted to "make money" became their coping mechanism. Many people by now are even having two to four jobs at the same time. Well, if it works for you then that's good but you should also be checking your health on a daily basis 'coz it might be taxed with that drive, if you're one of these people.

Many people are also becoming innovative and embracing the risk of starting up business and investment plans, to again generate a bigger source of income. Addiction on earning more money might sound good to some people but limitations should be always considered. Keep in mind that anything which is too much is bad. Addiction in any form should be conditioned or regulated by the one who's becoming problematic.

Yes, that's right, bro, excessive actions are not good, because anything that is done excessively will produce bad results, for example, excessive nights out and taking excessive drugs will also harm ourselves, because if we are addicted to excessive money, it will make us miserable, because there is nothing about money, all actions must be related to money, this is all the beginning of our own harm, look for enough money according to our needs, don't let everything about our social life disappear because we are addicted to money, money will also make us we will be in trouble, a lot of money will also make us uncomfortable with our condition, the most important thing is our health is the most important thing, it's useless to have a lot of money but if we are sick, over time the money will run out because we can no longer make money because our bodies are weak pain.

[OrangeII]

I think it's a trait that almost everyone has. Wanting lots of money and wanting to continue earning it, even the richest people in the world do this. I think most people will try to make money until they achieve financial freedom. It's no secret that we want luxury items, and that all costs money. So, we need to make a lot of money so that we can let go of our desires about what we want.

[wiss19]

Maybe you are right or wrong but you just don't think everybody is like you that believe that every opportunity in life need to be utilized to steal funds and do something imoral. People are not actually like this. You just don't judge thinking everything has the potential to think like you. It is true that we all wants to make money but not everybody wants to make.monwy from the wrong path. We need to sensitize people that have such mentality of stealing and taking what does not belong to them just to make extra money. We need to make the world a better place for the young ones coming up so they would not have to believe that doing illegal things or participating in fraud is the only way forward.

There are people who only look for blessings in everything they do, this is related to their belief and confidence that it can make their life happier and feel sufficient. It's different with the nature of someone who wants to pursue a lifestyle, so whatever he does is to cover up a lifestyle that he's proud of, such as seeking approval from other people, and I'm sure that kind of person will actually make his life's burden heavier. therefore religious values need to be applied

Belief in terms of what? Religious? Or belief because of self-entitlement? But whatever belief was it, it is still wrong to have that kind of mindset you're telling. We must accept that not all things will fall into us. There are things in life that are better treated as a lifestyle because lifestyle can mean that we are still balancing things.

There are also things that does not necessarily need an approval from others. Religion is part of the human life but there are people who forgot to include it on their lifestyle. I think is one of the reasons on why they are miserable but it's not too late yet. They still can go back on worshiping their own gods again.

[glendall]

addicted to money???
I think it's normal for people to actively earn money to meet their living needs and lifestyle, as long as they are willing to work and try, it doesn't matter, not by being lazy but wanting to live the same as that person is someone who can be said to be unreasonable and lazy.
Basically, money is everything for all sectors of life, so it is natural that everyone is active in seeking money for the prosperity of themselves and their families.
