Is money the most precious thing?

[Iranus]

You really get the point times doesn’t wait for anyone once it has gone it will never come always moving forward, but money is only the one that we’ve spent that will never come back to our hand again but surely that another will come within that day or the next day. I can see some other members said that the time is not valuable, which means those members don’t normally spending time with family members or their friends of not they won’t said that the time is not valuable; both money and time are very important things.

I have never heard anyone say that time is worthless, and if anyone say that, im sorry, but they are seriously lacking understanding.
However, I also want to say that you shouldnt underestimate the importance of money compared to time.

Its true that money, if lost, we can be earned back. But to get that money again, we will need to spend an equivalent amount of time, or even more to get it back. Making money takes a lot of time, so cherish both.

Money is not the most previous thing in life, but money seems or happen to solve the most difficult task in life that why they often classified money as one of the best thing in life. They say money can't buy life, happiness, love, emotion and feeling . But however money play a big role in this things to work out. A person without money can't save life if money is needed, a person without money can not maintain a lovely relationship because money is needed for the long Time. Infact money solve %95 percent of our problem that's why it is seen as the most precious thing but it is no, rather life is the most thing in life.

People don't just say that money can't buy those things you listed and even more, the fact about this matter is that money can only play a big roles towards this things but there is no guarantee that when you have money you will definitely have all of those things, you can have money yet you can lack happiness and even self love, as for life money can only sustain life but death comes your money can never stop it when the time is up for you regardless how much you have, there are healthy relationships out there that is not build on the foundation of money that's also telling that money isn't actually everything. Money is good no doubt but is not actually the most precious thing.

Time is a valuable asset as compared to money,  because it takes time to get wealth or get riches and its lack of proper use of this time that leads to poverty and a poor mindset.
Everything we do compounds into a future result we soon reap and that's the fact about this.

When there is good health, it is a good resource to help spend time in the proper manner, because the man who is sick doesn't think of his money or wealth, but how to recover and get well. Where money can't solve health problems, it becomes vanity upon vanity.
Spend your time wisely and achieve great wealth or don't, and have a different opposite result.

You’re right, time is a valuable asset as compared to money. if someone waste time, they can never recover it again no matter how they try, if they decide to miss use their time it has a way of shaping their future. A little beginning can turn into a big result in the future. I won’t fully agree that the cause of poverty is because people misuse time, most times it’s as a result of family problems, misuse of time isn’t really guaranteed that it was caused by poverty, it may be something else. Once a person falls sick they don’t think about money again, they now think about how they will be strong again. At that point money is no longer the problem. A person who has money but doesn’t have a sound health, you will see that the person will never enjoy his or her money, or even think about it. so it’s advisable to take care of your health, and try to build something meaningful and take it step by step.

Money can not be the most important thing…

There are things in life way more important than money… Talking about, your integrity, your values, the kind of person you are when nobody is watching… those things does not have a price tag..

Even time itself, once it’s gone, it’s gone. No amount of money can bring it back… Same with peace of mind, real relationships with friends and families, good health… those are the real wealth..
Money is important.. but calling it the most important thing? It is not..

Money is an important part of a person's life. But there are many things that are more important than this. I think the most important of them are good health and time. After that, honesty, values. Because even if someone has a huge amount of money, he cannot be happy if his health is not good. Because he can buy many things with money but cannot use or eat them. So that money cannot give him a touch of happiness. Again, there are many people who may not have enough money. But they have good health. Even if they have less money, they can buy something with that less money and use or eat it as they please. Which is real happiness. Again, even if someone has money, he cannot sleep properly due to illness. Then that money will not be of any use to him. However, if the body is good, people do not need money to sleep peacefully. Again, time is more important than money. Similarly, honesty, values, peace of mind, friends and family are more important and valuable. However, there is no way to completely ignore money. Because in the present time, if you want to go with friends and family, money is needed. Again, this money determines the position of a person in the present time. So in the end, I will say that even though these things are more valuable than money, there is no way to consider money as completely insignificant.

Money may not buy happiness or love, but you will never be happy without money.
Money cannot help you escape death, but if you have money, you can live a life worth living and live the way you want. And you know what? For those who have lived a full life, they will have nothing to regret when they die.

As many have pointed out, if money is not the most valuable thing, so why do most of us spend so much time chasing after it?
You and I, and most people here are spending more time making money than spending time with family and taking care of our health.

Exactly, money is probably the most important thing in the world right now for every person, time is important, but money is more important, which is why we spend our time to make money, because if money was less important than time, then we wouldn't need to spend time to get money, so we need to understand this logic.

Those who say that the time that is gone can never come back but money can be earned back are just using movie dialogues because in practical life, things don't work that way. A man goes away from their loved ones only so that he can make money and provide for them, if they had money, they wouldn't need to do that, but since they don't, they have to do it.

I also don't agree with those who say that you can't buy happiness with money, because in today's world, you can't be happy without money, so it's a useless argument to say that you might have money but you can't have happiness, most things that bring you joy in today's world will require you to have money, so I don't agree with this thing at all. Those who have a lot of money can stay happy if they use their money in the right way.

Your point is quite good. The comparison between money and time is very apt. Just as we receive some money every day, but it cannot be taken away the next day, similarly, we are given 86,400 seconds every day, which we cannot give to anyone else. The real question is: Are we using them properly? Many, like the friend in the story, waste time, not understanding its value. But when we start managing each of our seconds properly, just as we manage money, we really start seeing progress. The results of small, consistent efforts in life can turn into long-term success, just as it does in finance. Time is truly our most valuable asset, and once lost, it can never be regained.

I always tell my friends that time is a currency, you can actually spend it wisely or waste it on things that doesn't matter, the same way money spent lavishly could also ruin your life, time spent on stupid things also ruins life because you can't recover it back anymore.

If you are still in your young age, you wouldn't understand this untill you are old in age, that's when you'll realize that those who wasted time in what doesn't bring value becomes poor and those who spent wisely ends up been rich.

Yes, everyone works for money, some more than others, but it must also be said that money is the most inflation asset there is and that it is used to buy goods that are subject to inflation. For example, if we already take into account that money depreciates by 2% a year in the best-case scenario, and that we buy petrol which rises in price by 10–15% in times like these, or bread which rises in price by 5% every year, we realise that in a system with cumulative inflation, we are fighting an unequal battle on this front.

Everyone of course who is an adult must have a job in other words is to have an income, and yes everyone who works is to earn money because to survive we need money.
 
Regardless, with the increase in the price of food or other things such as what you said with fuel, my habit is to just accept it with what I think is that I have to be able to compensate.
 
Sometimes there are many people who talk about it because of the price increase, although I also think about it but I just accept it because I realize that talking about it will not change the price to go down especially since I am just an ordinary person who works to survive.

Whether people admit it or not, the truth is that money is the most important thing in the world today

Money is not only the most precious thing, it is everything. Because it can buy almost everything in the world, from love and happiness to time and health. If money can not buy those thing, why do the majority of wealthy people live more comfortable and happier live than the rest of the population? If wealth does not bring happiness, why do most of us want to be rich?

We invest, even go all in, in Bitcoin, is not it to get rich?

[colinistheman]

Funny enough i just saw this topic after coming across a post on social media where a lady was complaining about how she isn't living a happy life despite gaining financial freedom. She complained about not having a family, no friends and no relationship. This is to tell that money is not the most precious thing, it is only what gives us a good life.

Elon Musk recently stated that money cannot buy happiness. But did you know that even though he is already the richest man in the world, he still keep chasing more wealth? That alone clearly shows how important money is. And do you think he is unhappy? I bet he is very happy, and that is why he still does not want to stop despite owning a huge fortune.

Similarly, I do not believe what that woman said. If money does not bring happiness, why would they be willing to trade everything for it? Do not listen to what they say, look at what they do.

I have never heard anyone say that time is worthless, and if anyone say that, im sorry, but they are seriously lacking understanding.
However, I also want to say that you shouldnt underestimate the importance of money compared to time.

I guess those who doesn't value time would say time is worthless. But for the rich people, time is important, valuable and they use their money to leverage and buy more time. Both money and time are important, you get to do whatever you want to do and buy anything you want with both of it.

Its true that money, if lost, we can be earned back. But to get that money again, we will need to spend an equivalent amount of time, or even more to get it back. Making money takes a lot of time, so cherish both.

That is true, time is taken won't be taken back. And that's why it should be spent wisely just as how we've earned money, we've got to spend our time valuably and it should be worth it for anything that we do.

[Out of mind]

Money can not be the most important thing…

There are things in life way more important than money… Talking about, your integrity, your values, the kind of person you are when nobody is watching… those things does not have a price tag..

Even time itself, once it’s gone, it’s gone. No amount of money can bring it back… Same with peace of mind, real relationships with friends and families, good health… those are the real wealth..
Money is important.. but calling it the most important thing? It is not..

You definitely have a point that money should not be considered as important only, because there are so many other things which you have mentioned that are very important also which money cannot buy, money is only there to satisfy our need and earn us some respect from others, people nowadays worship money because if you don't have money no one will even know that you exist that is why a lot of people with poor mentalities believe that money is everything just because they don't have opportunity to hold it on their hand.

Although currently we see that those who have the most money in the society are being given more importance. Basically we have to accept these things that money is not everything but the value of one's own dignity and time is more important than money. With money it is possible to meet the needs of life which can be bought with money but it is not possible to meet the things which cannot be bought with money. When you lose a time then money can never buy it and when you lose your respect in the society then you cannot buy it with money. Similarly money is not the root of everything, if a person has enough money but his health is not good or he is sick then his money has no value. That is why we should focus on these things that money will not be there for a while but his good character will always be there for that it is also necessary to value time

[justdimin]

Money is precious, but I don't really think is the most precious thing. Some individuals have been given a huge amount of money, but they couldn't sustain that money. Is important to know that not everyone knows how to make money, so if you don't give them money, they cannot actually make money. Summarily, I believe that what you need to really make money is more precious than money itself. There are some people that anytime they don't have money, they don't complain much, they can assure you that in the next couple of hours, days, weeks or months money will come, which means they posses skill, knowledge that attracts this money, and the skill, and knowledge that brings money is indeed more precious than money.

It may or may not be the most precious thing, but at the same time it is the most precious thing that supplements the most precious things. It could be health, love, family, happiness, whatever you are looking for in life, money could only help with that, and can't hurt it.

You could have a lot of money and do silly stuff that results with you being bad too, like do drugs for example. Because of my sickness, I have to see drug dealers and drug users all the time, and I can tell you, they are way more richer than me, and yet they are less happy. So it depends on what you do with that money which decides all of this, if you use it badly, yes it is not good, but if you use it very well then you will be doing great.

In fact, in some cases, there are situations where you are not able to be physically happy despite having a lot of money. Such situations have arisen frequently where people on the millionaire list are not able to get well even after spending huge amounts of money on treatment in expensive hospitals. In this case, money cannot make them happy. Happiness does not mean that you can spend money whenever you want, rather, real happiness lies in physical health and a worry-free lifestyle. On the one hand, if you have a lot of money and are sick, on the other hand, if you earn a small amount of money by working hard and are healthy, which one would you choose?

Even in this case, money still bring happiness. Just imagine what would happen if they became seriously ill but had no money and no opportunity to receive treatment at expensive hospital? Clearly, with millions of dollars in hand, they have a much greater chance of reclaiming their lives or extending their lifespan. Conversely, without money, they would almost certainly not have this opportunity.

The main causes of illness today are poor diets, lack of rest, and insufficient healthcare...Do you think people with low income can maintain good health in the long term? What would happen if they got sick and had no money?

[Somegory]

This message is clear enough, but honestly!! money is not the most precious thing, in my view, time is. Money can be lost and earned again, but time once gone is gone forever. Just like in your example, it does not make sense to have something valuable and not use it. Every day we are given time and if we waste it, we are basically doing the same thing as your friend. letting something valuable go without using it. So, money is important, but how you use your time is what really determines how successful and meaningful your life will be.

I so much accept your way of viewing this topic, time is far more precious than money, many people learnt this only after they are older, if you can do a social experiment and start asking older people about their past life regrets and exercise you will see that it deals with time.

They can't turn back the hands of time to make some wrong to right, ego here and there, hates and so on, most of them lived their own life this way until older age when they start to feel like it's not worth it.

Anyone who can control time can control everything in this world, they just need to go back in a era and make some adjustments, they will have everything they wanted and fix every possible mistakes, you control time you become a god.

The most precious thing in life is time. Once you misuse it, you miss many things in life. The story you narrated is all about time. How do we manage our time in a situation like this. This world we are too is vanity upon vanity. And according to the book of Ecclesiastes, which is a Biblical inference. There is time for everything on the earth. So the time of spending that amount is considered by the person.

Time is extremely valuable because once it has passed, it can never be taken back, no matter how much money or power you have. However, most of us are trading that precious thing for money. Most of us spend the majority of our time each day and in our lives just exchanging it for money. Therefore, it can also be said that money is as valuable as time and is also the most precious thing.

The time we waste in life will never come back, time is a precious resource, and that's why we also have to keep in mind that if we always chase after money, we will not be able to enjoy our life. So we should learn to enjoy life instead of spending all our time just chasing the money, it is necessary to fulfill our desires, because people do not always have hobbies. If we lose money, we can earn it again, but lost time then it can never come back, similarly if we do not fulfill our hobbies, then eventually that hobby will end without being fulfilled and that hobby will remain unfulfilled. So I think we should have an understanding mindset so that the process of earning money does not take away our life.

[DiMarxist]

Money plays a very important role in life as there is little or nothing that can be done without it. How ever there are allot slot of things that are more important than money this is because even if you lose your money you can get it back over time, but things like time wasted, good health and peace of mind are things that to me I consider been important more than money. There are people who has the money but is only praying for a good health such people are not happy and only wish that they have money. Another thing that is more important than money is freedom until you are in prison you will not appreciate how precious it's.
