Money addiction

[passwordnow]

Call someone who's not addicted in making money who works harder each day and those that are jobless are the ones that are not addicted to it. There's a problem between addressing the two, someone who is a casual worker works for his/her family isn't addicted to it but that's obligation. And someone who's not addicted to making money because he/she is jobless is dealing with difficulty finding a job that suits their need. But in today's situation, you don't have to look for opportunities that you like but the opportunity that is there and can provide your needs.

I've forgotten the rich business people and they are creating more jobs so as they have become addicted to making more money, they contribute largely to economy and they create more people that shall fill those jobs so that there will be more people that are going to be addicted in making money. In a crazy world, there's always been the issue that someone's doing whether he work hard or not but I think there's a negative thought that comes to our mind when we hear the word "addiction" maybe needed to fix that OP.

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.

As most users said, 90% were behind on money. This is not out of interest but out of compulsion, as they're already committed. The remaining 10% used to be passionate about what they did without expecting any return on their efforts. This, in the long run, gives the best return, whereas the same isn't possible for everyone, as they have more responsibilities and no savings. In the present economic situation, without money, it is very hard to survive, and the same keeps people running behind money even though they're interested in something else.

I'd probably be dead by now because being addicted to making money means that I would disregard my sleeping schedule to the point of exhaustion and that I would be disregarding my health and I would have a hard time with keeping up with people that I care the most, so far, I can still have a good night sleep and I can still socialize and I don't get sick because of my work so I would say that I'm still around 4 or 5 at best, I don't think that I'm addicted to money making though, if you've got a really good foundation about wanting and needing material things, you won't probably get to the point that you would be addicted to it or obsessed that you end up dying or getting sick because of your obsession. I don't agree with your assessment though, 9 out of 10 are in addicted to money making? Who said that? What data are you pulling this out? If this is only a conjecture then it's possible that you might be wrong about things, and if you form that opinion out of observation in this forum then you're not seeing the bigger picture that the forum is probably not something that really takes so much of the time of many people.

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

I don't really agree with the percentage figures you gave and even though currently people are having difficulty finding money to fulfill their lives. Looting occurs because someone does not have the ability to think and they do it for reasons that are far from rational. If the reason is not having money then there are people who currently don't have a job but they don't loot even though life is difficult. Generally, people who commit these crimes are because they are lazy about working and I think there are jobs that we can do even though the salary is not very big.

The problem occurs because people are proud of work and they choose to work in sectors that are much lighter and earn more money, but if thoughts like that are embedded in people's lives then I am sure their lives will be much more difficult. Choosing the wrong path by looting other people's property is a bad decision and is not a good choice for anyone.

I think, some wealthy men deserved what you are seeing around them, because it has been long they have be into some investments that is bringing income for them to use to create other companies that is increasing their income today. They work hard to achieved their wealth in a genuine way, which many investors are working for every night and day to ensure they make millions from decentralized currency to be counted among the millionaires in the environment, which they will definitely achieve their goal in the future.  Those that adopted crypto investment, I don't think they are experiencing what other people are experiencing in this inflation season, because crypto investors don't know inflation and those that invested in crypto grow their income every bullish season to handle any challenges that may come their way.

It's not money addiction, it's the need for money. You can't turn on your lights and gas if you have no money. We are slaves to work constantly because of the need to have money to live.

There are places where you don't need money but it would be in the most remote areas where the community lives in a slow lane.

Money has really be part of our lifestyle, as it has been mostly used in this century, I don't think that we do in our daily activities that don't require money, we can't eat or get educated without money being involved, although money is not actually everything but without money in our lives, we can be comfortably in some areas of our life and there are things in this life, that if we don't have money, we won't achieve it, so that is why money is mostly needed in this lifetime.

[AirtelBuzz]

Money is the most essential thing in life. OP What you mentioned I can also call it money addiction and need money. The prices of the things that we need to live are increasing day by day but our income is not increasing, due to which everyone is now mad for the need of money and how to earn more money.
Economic recession has occurred in various countries of the world which has affected various working people. People living very simple lives are now running out of all the money they earn from their jobs to support their families and pay rent. As a result people are looking for ways to make more money and focus on making more money, which you consider as money addiction.

Well we must always make it so we can have money. It is 1 thing we must have in this life if we want to survive. We need it for our food for the families and for a shelter over our head.
And for that reason I think we do have this addiction to money. People does such horrible things in this world to have money. There is so much evil for money because of the addiction and need to have it.

[AicecreaME]

It's a necessity, not an addiction.

We need money in our everyday lives to support ourselves if we're single or to support our own family if we're married. Especially in urban areas, where everything has its own price no matter how small it is. Unlike in countryside, you could plant your own vegetables and other crops, you can even ask your neighbor for some vegetables for free, that you can't do it urban areas.

Money is everything in this world, because it can buy anything you wanted. Money is power, that's why big people belittling the poor people always.

That’s true and maybe that is where it becomes problematic. If you are willing to commit crimes, or to inconvenience other people harm them for your own good just for money then that is already something you need to reflect on.

Other addictions just like gambling or drugs may be overlapped and coexist with addiction with money. It’s all kind of related if you think about it and one needs to be stopped in order to stop the other.

Money addiction to me is just plain greed. While it may be dependent on the gravity of greed, it is the result of doing that thing or hustle or work more aggressively inorder to earn higher pay, while also doing other stuff as side hustle still, all just to increase ones earning.
 While this as I just stated is a sure way for everyone who wants to get rich and wealthy, it is the unhealthy way or practice that is followed to earn money, such that one can even kill or maim or deceive, just to get money or claim it from someone who has it, that makes this kind of greed or what we call money addiction in this context to be bad.

It is quite reasonable to say that to ourselves because in reality it cannot be denied that everyone who lives in a crowd or in a place that is not remote always needs money for their own living expenses. And even though a small number of people call it a slave to money, I don't think it's a problem that should be thought about if they don't provide a solution to deal with the costs in life which are always needed by everyone. So I also quite agree with what you say because those who like to live in the city always have to work to earn money compared to those who live in remote places where they don't need to rely too much on money.

Money has really be part of our lifestyle, as it has been mostly used in this century, I don't think that we do in our daily activities that don't require money, we can't eat or get educated without money being involved, although money is not actually everything but without money in our lives, we can be comfortably in some areas of our life and there are things in this life, that if we don't have money, we won't achieve it, so that is why money is mostly needed in this lifetime.

In conclusion, money has become important for those who live in crowds or live in places where nothing is free without involving money. This means that as long as the environment we live in always relies more on money to get any service, of course everyone will continue to look for money without caring about what other people say about money. Because under normal conditions it is clear that no one will want to endure hunger just because that person doesn't work and doesn't have money to buy food every day.

The desire to have a lot of money is not called addiction but just to be able to survive because without money we cannot survive in a pragmatic society like today. I believe that if our world was not so harsh, we could survive without too much money, people would definitely choose that path. But clearly, we have no other choice but to have a lot of money if we still want to survive in this world. Look at what's going on, how quickly commodity prices are rising, and if we don't find ways to increase our income, how will our families live?
For me, making money is a responsibility, a mandatory obligation whether we want it or not.

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.

Not a claim, but people's habits of prioritizing desires over needs. People tend to force themselves to earn a lot of money to fulfill their desires, not their needs.
For example, smartphones and other outfits such as clothes and watches or other things to look fashionable and updated.
If people in managing money prioritized the principles of needs and benefits, I think addiction to money would be different.
This is what I understand the OP's meaning.

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.

Making more money is most important to everyone most especially the young youth, making more money is a way to make life easier for everyone, the reason why people can’t stop making money is that every day the prices of food and other items get more expensive, and for you to survive you have to make the money to buy what you need, many people have committed crimes today all in the name of money, even the salary earners are not okay with what they paid them monthly that is why every government you go to do something they will ask for a bribe even if it is a small amount and I never blame them because they are also finding way to get money to take care of their families.

The world has become something else, in the old days you would find it difficult for people to complain about money but these days even a 10-year-old girl and boy are looking for money just to take care of themselves and make a good life for themselves, out of 100% of the world the 100% are looking for more money because even the richest man in the world is still working hard to make money just to keep shining that he is the richest man in the world, life has been so hard to many people and the only that can make it easy is the government.

That's a bad term though, I don't think that people are addicted to making more money, I mean yeah, we work and we go established business to earn and make a living and live a good life. But it doesn't mean that we are addicted. Perhaps the right term is attracted. And it really depends on the lifestyle, the rule is that you don't spend more than you spend. And with that, anyone here can live lavishly according to the money that he attracted to himself/herself. But if you spend more, then that's where the problem arises and as if you wanted more money and become addicted to it because you wanted to sustain your lifestyle. However, it's the wrong kind of attitude though, because sooner or later it will realized that it i not feasible, unless you win a lottery and become a instant millionaire, but that chance are very slim.

I don't see anything wrong with the word used because that is the truth, people today have a serious obsession with money, they will really find a way to earn a large amount of money even if the exchange is not desirable things. If you are just a normal citizen, you really have the desire to earn a large amount of money because you have not lived with generational wealth to look forward to, many have a stable income but keep looking for another source just to earn more money .

[Volimack]

People earn money through hard work and effort it cannot be called addiction if a person is addicted to money he has to work hard to earn money. Earning more money will make him rich easily because you either grew up in poverty or you grew up in privilege. Most of the middle class are not overly materialistic. They have enough to meet their needs but they understand that not all their needs can be bought with cash. Privileged people are just trying to make money to maintain a lifestyle.
