Money addiction

[sekalitas]

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.

I agree that money is essential for many things in life, including buying goods, achieving status, and sometimes even influencing others. However, I disagree that the majority of people are addicted to money. My definition of money addiction aligns with addiction to drugs or alcohol. It's when a person's drives and identity become so intertwined with money—whether it's having it, accumulating it, spending it, or even giving it away—that they lose sight of who they are without it.

In my observations, many people still work simply to stay active and don't prioritize income as long as their basic needs are met. They appear content and happy. Therefore, I don't agree with the statement that 9 out of 10 people are addicted to money.

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

In my opinion, the problem isn't that people don't have enough money to survive, but rather that they focus on wants instead of needs and prioritize appearances. They choose lifestyles beyond their means, and some resort to harmful actions like theft. Ultimately, the issue isn't a lack of money but rather greed and misplaced priorities.

If we live in an environment like that, it is very possible for bad events to happen, but if we live in an ordinary environment without any fear of missing out on our lifestyle, I think it won't be too affected.

It is only the influence of our mentality and moral burden on how to survive living with a financial condition that can only accommodate 50% of the income from our monthly needs in our daily lives.

No matter how addicted we are with money, we should also learn to make good use of the opportunity of having it because its by chance that we got everything we have and we should not expect everything to last long like that, money answers to many things and we cant afford to be a liability with the use of money which we get, instead we have to work more harder to maintain having it consistently.

Stability makes a lot of sense economically. People who may or may not be addicted to money may make or lose money in their lives. The important thing is to know how to make money and to protect the money you earn. The important thing is to be economically stable.

We must learn to make money so that we can be ready for any situation. Information is needed to evaluate money-making opportunities. If people are knowledgeable in a field or really good at something, they will not miss the opportunity to have money when the time comes.

Money is a tool that every human being needs, everyone will always work in their own way with the same goal, to get money. Without money you are nothing, there is nothing you can do when you don't have money. So money is not an addiction, but a necessity.
The level of inflation that occurs is commonly felt by everyone, relatively small incomes will find it difficult to offset expenses due to increasingly higher purchasing prices. You have to be more creative in making money. If all this time you have had one source of income, now you have to look for other sources of income to increase the amount of income to survive economic difficulties.

The most comfortable lifestyle is living according to our abilities, because ultimately money is the parameter. We can observe that many people live as if they are enslaved to money, so that they forget to eat, rest and take care of their health, until they end up sick and can no longer earn money, therefore we must have a balanced mindset so that our physical and spiritual health remains healthy. , because we will also lose ourselves later

I don't agree with you. The phenomenon of money addiction is a real thing in today's modern society, especially in the ever-changing economic dynamics and increasing costs of living. Many people now want to earn additional income so they can maintain and improve their quality of life. However, for 9 out of 10 people who are addicted to money, further consideration is needed, namely: Not everyone increases their income because they are addicted to money, but also because of their basic needs, the desire to provide a better life for their family. or long-term goals such as children's education. And 90% who stated that there was looting was an exaggerated opinion, because the majority of people still uphold moral ethics in supporting their legitimate finances. It can be concluded that although the desire to increase money is commonplace in society, categorizing it as an addiction and linking it with the potential for looting is not appropriate.

Absolutely correct, if money is used to meet the needs of life or if every person in society moves with the mentality that money is for the needs of life, then that society will be more beautiful and orderly. The good health of people will be maintained. But if earning money is seen as an addiction then the person will be constantly immersed in thoughts which will rob a person of sleep and lead to health complications. So everyone should earn and use money by diversifying the earning field as needed.

If someone decides to live according to their abilities it will certainly not be a burden on them in living their life, because if they force themselves to earn money they will not necessarily be able to get it according to their desires and if we can live according to the abilities we have, of course the income we will get from work will be able to meet the necessary needs, those who continue to work without thinking about their health, of course this is very detrimental because it is not certain that what they get from their work can treat the illness they experience and I agree with you so that we have the same mindset. balanced so that we can balance work time and time to rest because health is very important for us.

We aren't really "addicted" to money, we just addicted to idea of money, not the money itself. A lot of people just want money to be able to do stuff, even if they do not do it, they want to be able to say that they are capable of it if they want to.

Like if you have 700 million dollars, then there are VERY few things in the world that you can't do, you can do almost anything you want, and that's why I believe that people do not really love the money itself, that's just a number. They just like to be able to have more than the other person and they like to be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, at least have that option. Money is made up, money itself means nothing, money is fake, it's the things you can do with money that we get addicted to.

Precisely. People get addicted of what money can do, its effects to people’s lives and significance. When there’s a lot of money, the joy and satisfaction are unlimited, that’s why people love the idea of having a lot of money. But when we say people has this money addiction, it denotes a different view. Money is what we need the most this time since everything got their price, and if you got no money, it’s rare to see you surviving in this getting expensive world’s stuffs.

Every addiction is not good for people and the world because when you call addiction meaning this is something that u controllable and no stopping,with that sense we must not join that money addiction or any form of being addicted.
Try to prevent yourself to engage in anything that can lead to become addicted either drugs,gambling,liquor ,smoke and money making .

This is the essence of man! The needs are constantly growing. If yesterday a person just wanted to eat and pay for his apartment, then today a person already wants to have a good rest, buy not just clothes, but clothes of good quality, and so a person’s appetites grow every day. If today we earned a certain amount of money, then tomorrow we want to earn more and this is a vicious circle. This is neither good nor bad, this is our life...

I think it would be better to say that in earlier times, there was not so much competition, and everything was not so expensive, but in this age of inflation and selfishness it is becoming very difficult for a person to live. In this era, the importance of man and humanity has become less and the importance of money has become more important. Money is necessary to live and more money is necessary to live a good life. This fact cannot be turned away from.

Where competition is tough, hard work is required to win, survive and thrive. In today's age, money has become the basic need of a man, without which man cannot even imagine living. It is a bitter truth that we are living in an era where no one helps anyone, one has to provide everything by oneself, and one has to always prepare oneself for every good and bad situation.

[Litzki1990]

All of us have been chasing money since we were born. Some of us may earn money through illegal means and some of us may earn money through honest means but no matter what we do, the goal of work is to earn money. A man whose childhood has been spent in poverty and poverty has been his companion will certainly want to get out of that situation and improve his position. If a person is addicted to earning money to improve his position then there is nothing wrong because he can do it. Every work requires money and money is a very valuable element in our life. We need money from birth to death and when people die they still need money to bury them according to their respective religions. If you don't have money yourself, you can understand how hard the world is and then even if I want, I don't get financial help from others, so we should have addiction to money income.

Living a life of work and worship is a necessity for humans, there is no reason for every human being who has a healthy body and mind not to carry out these two obligations. However, when it comes to making money, everyone has different abilities and mindsets. Of course, not everyone has to work full time continuously and only focus on income, there are other things that need to be set aside time in life. Normally people work 12 hours a day and divide the other 12 hours into resting and chatting with family. But if someone works for more than that amount of time then it is already above the normal limit and might be said to be addicted.

In fact, it is normal to happen when the environment is bad so it is impossible to move forward in a certain direction without a goal with your mind to live a good life financially. While setting goals is easy it will be easier to keep moving towards them. It is necessary to move towards specific goals slowly and monitor your progress all the time.

[Rasa nanas]

they are addicted to making more money not only because they want to be rich, but also because they want to meet their increasing needs in life. as you said, the cost of living continues to increase because the prices of basic goods continue to increase, and because of this they are required to earn more money. Another possibility if they are not able to make more money is that they are forced to adapt by reducing expenses.

Everyone is taught to keep moving in order to see the results after we ourselves make a plan before moving, because without making a plan where to move would be quite silly for anyone, especially in conditions that are not easy like now. So each of us has to make a plan where we will move and what keys we will use to get results from the work we are going to do so that we ourselves can evaluate it when the results we get do not match expectations.

So I also quite agree with keeping moving and working without having to become a coward because I'm afraid to try something that could produce results, but first make sure the plan is neatly arranged so that the direction can be clear and not chaotic when you want to move. Because as I said, moving without a prepared plan will also be in vain.

Op that scale of analysis is correct but you have to know that everyone in the world is want to make more money and the only people who are not interested to make money are the wealthy people and who is the wealthiest man in the world is unknown. But we have world richest person and the world richest person too is still looking for more money so nobody is exempted. Rich people work to maintain their rich. So money is something that makes people to be addicted because we must survive.

  . That good analisys. If they have stopped looking for money and don't want any more because what they are trying feels quite new, in fact that is what rich people really are, but if they are still chasing and continuing to accumulate so that their 7 descendants don't run out, for me they are just ordinary people just like us, just different case.

People continue to look for money because they want to support themselves and their families so that their minimum standard of living is the same as that of other people. For now that's what many people think.

Crime can happen because there is intention and will, but for me the figure of 90% is too high because I am sure that the majority of them do not have the intention to do evil even though they are in difficult conditions. only a small percentage have the intention and then carry out looting, and in the end this action will harm themselves. The number of people continues to increase and the prices of commodity goods continue to increase, making competition for survival increasingly fierce. There are two solutions, namely trying harder to increase your income or reducing purchases to reduce expenses.

A very good point of view has come out of your speech if you think about living according to your ability then life will surely be free of burdens. If any burden is lightened from the head, the functional capacity of the brain will increase, which will speed up the process of our money collection. We hear that the more simplicity is accepted in life the less complex it becomes. But there are people in the world who do not focus on any work without pressure. Balancing life becomes very difficult for such people.

Hmmm..., this is indeed the main factor affecting humans. Not everything you want, you should acquire because your needs should stand as priority for you against your want if you want to have a meanful life. This is why making a scale of preference to your want is important.

I see no reason why you, as a human being, won’t be addicted to money. Money is the main source of life when we are small. They usually tell us that health is the main thing, but not due to the inflation in the country. All I can say is that money is before health because even if you are sick, you need money for treatment. Although everyone in Nigeria is focused on the way to make money, to me, it is a good thing for everyone to be addicted to money, not only for the sake of addiction but also for the sake of survival. and you can't reach a stage and say the money you have is enough for you because you will continue to have more needs until after your death, so to me, people who are addicted to money are not at fault because money stops nonsense. 
 
Moreover, poverty is not smiling, so it is better to focus on making money than on noting and staying poor, or end up worshipping the rich.
