Money addiction

[dezoel]

People who are looking to earn more money only because they aren't able to meet their basic requirements can't be called addicted to wanting more money because it's what they need to survive. If you are unable to make ends meet, you will have to find a different way to survive because you can't starve to death or make your family suffer. So, I don't think this can be considered a hunger for more money but it is one of the basic requirements for any human.

Addicted are those who have enough money but are still looking to make more money, look at the whales or those who have millions of dollars but are still looking to start new businesses and make more investments only to increase their wealth, they are the ones you can call addicted to money.

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.

If prices of goods and services have been continuously rising so fast, then most likely in order to make ends meet, people will also strive harder to earn more money not only to live a comfortable life but mainly, for survival. So I think that’s never an addiction, but a normal human reaction in order to live and enjoy life the way they want it to be.

However, on the other hand I would also love seeing people getting into  money addiction if it really exists so that everyone will work hard and strive hard, and that laziness will not be practiced anymore which made the people missed opportunities to earn money. And as long as making more money is not done through illegal means, then I’m really fine with it.

It would be a good thing if people stopped being lazy and worked hard to make money because it would not only bring people a more prosperous life but also stimulate the economy to grow stronger. But there will also be disadvantages if people are truly addicted to money if it exists. Ignoring the factor of making illegal money, addiction to making money will sometimes create a more and more pragmatic society, I mean people will only know how to make money and make money and ignore other things like love, family, friends...like what's going on. As life becomes more and more hustle and bustle and money is put first, everyone only knows how to rush to make money and ignore the things around them, making society more and more pragmatic. Balancing everything is what we should do instead of being addicted to something and ignoring the rest.

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

Addiction is defined as something you do out of compulsion with no real benefit for you, hoarding money and earning it is not considered addiction cause at the end of the day, you need money, and a whole lot of it as a matter of fact, to sustain yourself and whoever depends upon you.

You already said it yourself, prices of shit keep rising and changing and we can't do anything about it. Will you call someone addicted to water cause they are very thirsty and are looking for the nearest water fountain to hydrate themselves?

You have a very skewed perspective on how things work and clearly you're still getting support from your people, which isn't necessarily bad, cause after all they fucked and made you without your permission in the first place, but you'll soon realize how wrong it is to think that everyone's "addicted to money" all because we need more of it to stay alive.

     There are many people at this age who have become like money or have been swallowed up by the money system. Those who pretend to have a lot of money so they can convince other people that they will cheat just so they can have money. 

     Pretending to be rich but not really—that's what happens when the wrong way of looking at money is used. Yes, we need money, and it is a part of our lives in this age, but we don't need to let money control us; instead, we should control money.

here I think there's no such thing as addicted to money, i think we already have the term for this which is workaholic where people just can't stop working because they always want to work.
but if my addiction is related to always having the urge to make money and keep making more and more, heck I think thats the best addiction there is because lets be frank here, society forces us to always makes money for ourselves.
the people that aren't productive are actually being valued low in the society, so this money addiction is kind of a big win honestly.

since honestly, there's nothing wrong with hoarding as much purchasing power as you can, with hoarding money it means you got more power since money can be used to buy literally anything these days.
so whats wrong with it, there's really nothing wrong.
there's reason why the billionaires keep making more and more company to boost their personal wealth, because making money is great and there's no downsides to it.

this is the truth, the fact that we keeps striving for better financial condition is the instinct to survive, where you can get basic needs from spending money, it means entire survivability depends on it.
that what most people should understand, the fact that some people are addicted to make money, means they just want to keep their survivability high.

When the price of goods and services increases, of course everyone has to do more work than usual and if they are employees and the income they have is no longer enough to meet their needs, of course they have to look for additional income to be able to meet the needs they need, because if It is of course impossible to only rely on their salary to fulfill their needs because the prices of goods and services have increased.

Working hard is very important if we want all the needs we need to be met and those who are lazy to work will of course have difficulty meeting their needs, it is important for us to be able to have income not from illegal means if we don't want the life we live to have problems later on.

Those who choose cheating methods to make their money will of course one day have problems and they will have to be responsible for what they do and it is really not important for us to pretend to be rich and this does not have any benefits from it, for now of course everyone needs money and I agree with you, don't let money control us, of course we will do various things to make money and this will get us into trouble.

I agree with what you said, we all have to work hard to meet all our needs, especially as heads of families, we have to meet all the needs of our children and wives, because it is our job to earn a living for our family, especially nowadays. everything is expensive, basic necessities are expensive, everything is expensive, we as the backbone of the family have to think of a way out so that we can fulfill all our household needs, don't be lazy by relying on our salary which is not enough, we have to think about how we can earn extra money In order to be able to provide for all of this, the method must be halal because it will affect the future of our own children.

All because these needs and needs usually have many characters, some are important not urgent and also urgent important that must be synchronized or normal and ordinary. Usually, the urgent important thing will always be the top priority.

Regarding the opportunity to get additional money, if it is related to current conditions, it is recognized that it is a bit heavy at this time where the opportunity is small and the competition is also high, but if the work model is ordinary without requiring special skills, there are many, it's just that the payment value is small compared to the special ones where we have to meet daily needs now, the dominance has gone up in price, especially if our lifestyle always follows the trend and does not want to be outdone with our friends/community.

To do bad actions like the model you mentioned above can also happen, but I think there are still many clear-minded people looking for more models.

The development of the times makes us have to be faced with money, because everything nowadays requires money, everyone will look for it for their own or family needs, we should not judge other people, because we have no right to it, while they work and waste the money is up to him, because it is the result of his hard work.

Currently we are thinking about how to ensure that our finances are sufficient to meet the needs of the family, of course the children we produce will be how we raise them with good finances, because with good parents' finances it will have a good impact on the children, of course at this time we have to work hard to meet our family's financial needs.

[Dunamisx]

Its only a greedy and stingy person that will be regarded as one who is addicted to money because everyone by default is expected to have interest in having money to spend and use for basic needs of life, we should know this and also expect that there are ways in which we can spend money without making it appear as if we are being addicted to it, especially when we engaged the use for the right and appropriate reasons.

[DeathAngel]

People try to earn more money because more provides a sense of security & stability which allows people to meet their basic needs & alleviate financial stress. Earning money is equated with success & social status leading people to strive for wealth as a measure of personal achievement. Obviously money offers opportunities for experiences, material possessions & simply more options in life. It’s important to strike a balance & prioritise other aspects of life beyond financial gain such as relationships, health & personal fulfilment.

[rhodelmabanal]

I think people are not addicted but they didn't have a choice because they need to find more money in order to survive, look at how the price of basic needs rise, high inflation, etc., almost everything are rising and it needs more money to survive that is why people are finding more money i think it is not an addiction it is thier way of handling the high inflation and basic needs price that rise every year that is why people are now hard working to get more money because if we don't work hard will surely suffer financial problem.

[Majestic-milf]

 Money rules the world and as such people will do anything to get it, either to at least lead comfortable lives or to have a lot of it, that's why you'd see people slaving away at their jobs just to achieve this.
Now there's those who aren't content with the little they have which is normal because human needs and wants are insatiable hence the feeling of addiction to money right?
The fact that we live in a world where things are ever increasing doesn't also help matters as we constantly justify our need for more money as a means to be able to cope with the ever increasing demands but deep down, it's somehow to assure ourselves that we are better than the next person.

I was enjoying your reading until you spoiled it with this remark as shown above. What statistics gave you that effrontery to state that 90% of people have the tendency to loot? That is preposterous and it should be withdrawn because it is offensive and insults the collective integrity of humanity. Frankly, I don't like people running their months anyhow, especially on what they know little or nothing about. If at all, to back your claims, you should have attached a link for us to read better instead of insulting humanity this way.

Fine, your country may be very bad, and I think I know the country you are from, but I will not mention it because I know how you guys type. Nevertheless, you can't use the state of your country to judge other countries. As you call a 90% looting tendency, do you know there are many countries in Europe and the world generally that their looting tendency will be below 1%? That is so justified because you can read many resourceful articles online about some countries with a very low crime rate, and that have good living standards. They are happy.

See, what makes some people commit financial crimes and be desperate to loot is the state of their finances and the poor nature of their country. But in many countries, people are doing fine, and those who are not doing fine are still contented, so why the high looting rate you force upon everyone?

How do you know this? Since it is related to the fact, you need to have a research before claiming it. Or you can get a reference from a reliable source. At least, you have data that can prove it.

I think it depends on where we live. If it is in the big city, surely people will have high chance to be addicted to money because everything needs money in the city. But in the village, people don't fully depend on the money, they can use natural resources to survive. Since villagers have an alternative, they don't fully depend on the money.

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.

Inflation, pandemic, wars, and the expensive price of fuel are some factors that trigger the increases of commodity prices. It is unavoidable situation, everyone is forced to deal with the worse economic. Since there is no choice but to have more money, nowadays it becomes easier to be addicted to money. This makes people to do everything in order to have more earnings. In this modern life, most of our activities are involved with money. So, it results in the mindset of among people to associate everything with money. I agree that this situation leads to a more addiction among people.

No one is happy in their position, you consider nine out of ten people who try to grow their money but I would say 10 out of ten people want to grow their money. You have a good job and you want to work in an organization like the one where you are working but it is natural that a person who is unemployed wants to work in an organization like yours. No matter how good a position we are in, we always look to what is above us and we try to get to his position. We will be content when we follow those who are in our lowest position. Today I have a car I will be thinking about buying a sports car at Target next and when I own the sports car I will be thinking about buying a private jet with a luxury car. But if we try to increase money by working extra hard in honest way then it is not bad for us because money is needed a lot in the way of life.

There is definitely a need for money in life, but some earn it the right way and some earn it the wrong way. The subject you mentioned is the goal of man because if a man is in a low position then it is his goal to go to a higher position. For example, in the field of employment, if someone joins as a general worker, his next goal is to become a manager one day.
Do you know what is the biggest addiction in a person's life, it is the addiction of money. People all over the world are now just running and running because of money addiction. The addiction of money has consumed people in such a way that people are now unable to judge between good and bad. Now the competition has started among people all over the world who will be richer or who will have more money.

[GideonGono]

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.

I also think it is not addiction, but it would depend on how they would earn their money.
For me addiction is when they are bound to destroy their life, so if they are earning the right way or without illegal activities then it wouldn't be addiction, they are striving for a better life.
Honestly, if I could I would rather stay at remote areas to have simple life than to overwork myself.

[bitterguy28]

That is exaggerating term to use that 9 out of 10 are addicted in making money?yeah everyone are making their way to make money but this is not about addiction instead about being obligated so try not to fell from this mistake and try to be more cautious about the word you use ,there might be people that addicted to make money but they are small part of the humanities.
