Is money the most precious thing?

[Yorubek]

Even many sacrifice their lives for money, commit crimes and so on just for money, and I agree that all these people can see depending on their perspective and current situation and also their experience and knowledge because they often see from different sides, I also see many rich people who consider time more valuable, I know time is valuable because it cannot be bought and repeated and because we have an age limit in this world, but they say that they know what is important to them so they want to go back and consider time very valuable on the other hand in the lower circles who are wailing upwards they sacrifice everything for money.

People at the bottom often are not chasing money out of greed but they are actually chasing for survival, and options, when you do not have enough, money is time in a way because it buys you freedom from stress, bad conditions, and constant uncertainty. So sacrificing for money is not actually always a blind choice but  sometimes it is the only real move. On the other hand, many wealthy people only start preaching about time after they have already secured financial comfort. It is easier to value time when money problems are no longer controlling your decisions.

In reality, we all run after money, some to fulfill basic needs and some to enjoy luxuries. Money is needed at every step, money increases people's respect, some are running after money for needs and some are running after money for luxuries. Our social system has become such that those who have money have high status or respect and those who do not have money are not given respect or high status no matter how good a person they are. Money is needed in the way of life, but most people are very greedy and they keep running to get more than they need.

The explanation goes on to explain the importance of money and time as both work hand in hand, but know this also, you cdn save time and not make money but you cdn have money and still have time but when you lack money you will never be a good time keeper because you will be totally not in control of all the the things you are doing. Any time wasted is gone but you will have to wait for another day if you waste money you can always try again to make more, money is important but time they say is more precious.

I am still trying to understand this in a proper context. But let me respond to this based on my understanding when it comes to the relationship between money and time and which of the two can be considered as more important. I will just simply say both money and time are very important and are closely connected but I also think that sometimes we misunderstand the relationship between the both of them. You can lose money and still recover it through another opportunity, another job or another investment but when it comes to the issue of time, it becomes a little bit different because when time as been lost, it can never be recovered and that is why people say time is more precious than money as even a wealthy person cannot buy yesterday back if it has gone.

Well, money is important part of life without it we can't even fulfill our basic needs, for our daily needs we must have to have money and these days it's more important to have money because anything can happen anytime.

Well, it's true that the ones who have a lot of money might get more attention or respect but I've seen people with very low amount of money but still they got huge respect so I guess respect part is not entirely because of money.

It's so sad how we underrate how valuable time is,

Most of us just have the thought that there is tomorrow, and we end up not living to the fullest of a day, it is indeed disappointing, what if, if we manage out time well doing valuable things, that dream will come to pass,
I do feel that it is worth trying,

Most of us keep wondering why we haven't gotten to achieve a goal, but who knows if it's because of the wast of time that is holding it back?
Let as all try and make a change, let's make our time more productive.

We don't need luxury as a standard for achieving happiness, but it's as if we're made to have everything to achieve happiness in life. Money is important for the process we go through in this world, but everyone has a certain limit on how much money they need to live comfortably with their family. In reality, we focus too much on materialistic things and tend to overlook things we can do in a much more relaxed way. I'm not saying money isn't important as a life support, but sometimes we don't realize that everyone has different standards. People who live simply can be happy and have more time with their families, but people who have a lot of money don't necessarily have that kind of time.

I agree with you. We don’t need luxury as a standard for achieving happiness that’s true even though money does play an important role. I used to think that money was the most valuable thing in life, but upon reflection, the most valuable things are health, time, relationships (family and friends), and true happiness.

Money can make us happy and sometimes people say that with money we can buy everything but that’s not true. There are some things money can’t buy, and one of them is time.

In a civilized environment with high morals, people will respect each other, whether they have money or not.
If you live in the countryside and are able to fulfill the basic needs of life such as food, shelter you will not worry about many things like the world of life in the city and money is only limited to buying necessities to buy salt and others, traveling only on foot without a vehicle, I saw old people in the past where they did not even have access to luxurious places such as shopping at malls, driving luxury cars and what we see in the city world and social media full of flexing, and just living simply, we will be kept away from thoughts of dependence on money.

Sadly, that was the case in the rural areas, when all the information of the urban world opened up to the rural areas the standard became more and more money-driven and people did everything they could to feel like they were living a good life and wanted to be able to buy what people could buy.

Health has great value and is never limited, even if we have a lot of money and our health is compromised, we will never be able to enjoy that wealth. Most people are busy seeking wealth so they can pass it on to their children, but without realizing it, they are neglecting their own lives. The standard of happiness isn't always measured by wealth, as people who live simply are sometimes much happier and can spend time with their families in a relatively simple way. Money does play a role in a person's life journey, but the amount can vary.

I also realized some things in this life that health and time with family are much more important because in simple ways we do, sometimes our lives can be much happier as long as the lifestyle we live is not excessive and does not follow the standards like most other people.

Yes, we do not need to live a luxurious life like a millionaire or billionaire to be considered happy. However, I disagree with the assertion that money is not the most valuable thing in life. Because in today's world, without money you will not have health, time, or happiness.

How could you possibly have any time when you have to spend more than 14–16 hour/day working just to provide the necessities for your family? How happy would you be if your wife and children did not get to eat delicious food, wear nice clothes, and receive a good education? How can you maintain and preserve your health when you don't have time to take care of yourself?

Money can buy everything, including time and happiness. We need to accept that harsh reality.

There are still people who have little money but receive great respect, but that only happens to a select few and only in certain environment.

In most of society, money remains the primary measure of a person's worth. Whether we like to admit it or not, if we are poor, we will be looked down upon and have fewer choices. Conversely, if we are wealthy, we will be respected and have more choices. So, face reality and find way to adapt instead of avoiding it.

Actually both money and time are valuable. But we understand the value of money quickly because it is in our hands instantly, if it is gone, we understand that we can see money physically. But in the case of time we cannot see it with our eyes, which makes it seem like we are not losing anything. But when you get older the previous times will seem very precious to you, then you will think why should I waste the previous time. If I had used this time a little more, maybe I could have done better today.
It is seen that someone says, let's relax a little today, I will start tomorrow. But this tomorrow is repeatedly postponed. For example instead of studying for 30 minutes, it is spent on social media. These small delays make a big difference in the end.

Beyond what you said, there's another example we can see in life: the level of regret. Most people are more likely to regret spending money on useless things. Meanwhile, when they spend time unnecessarily relaxing and scrolling through social media when it could be used for something else, they don't feel regret. However, spending time in less beneficial places should also be regretted from the start because time can no longer be turned back, while money that has been spent can still be earned again as long as we still have time to do work that can generate regular income. That's why I sometimes feel confused when there are still many people who don't regret spending time in places that make them careless.

No, money is not and cannot be the most precious thing on earth. But, money is the most important tools for high quality life, providing comfort, security and opportunities. The most precious things here on earth is breath, health, relationship, love, freedom and time. This are the most expensive things that money cannot buy.

Money could be considered as one of the most important tools to manage life, but its never the most precious thing. Family, peace and love, trust and freedom are more valuable and precious than money itself. They cannot be bought with money as their cost is limitless.

However, having a sufficient amount of money will make you live a good and sustainable life. You don't have to struggle financially because you have unlimited flow of income. But money without peace and love remains useless and hopeless, as money itself cannot fulfill our emotional and spiritual longings.

[tygeade]

Truly said, time is more important than money. Money can be bought with time, but time can never be bought. Once the time is passed, it will never come back again. I think many people do not understand the real important of time at least until they grow old. Not everyone is wasting time in their life. We achieve some or other goal everyday which makes the day successful.

A day or two every week is meant for rest as our body needs to heal but the rest days, we have to give our best because once our strength is lost, it can never come back. Regarding your friend, I think he did not know the real importance of money or else he might have used the entire amount every day before it expires and would have fulfilled his temporary dreams. Either he might be lazy or just too foolish.

Money can literally buy everything including happiness yes I'm certain it can buy happiness. With money one can pay any amount for happiness or hire people who will comfort him to make him happy at all time. I've come to realize that without money life is hard and cruel,money makes things easy, money brings happiness, love and power. you can literally have everything and anything you desire when you have money. But nothing more precious to a man than his own life? Nothing not even money. Men value their life more than anything in this world,even money. Nothing is more precious and valuable than life itself.

[Gost ms]

You have presented a very beautiful topic to us. Many of us do not learn to value time when we have it and for not valuing it, we have to face great uncertainty or loss in the future. Especially if we talk about studying and writing in our childhood. At that time, we considered studying as an extra burden but today, time is reminding us exactly what mistakes we have made in thinking of this extra burden.

So if we do the work of time at the right time, then we will never face such a thing and we will never have to face the problem of uncertainty of the future. If we do not waste every time, if we apply those times in our work, then maybe we will get good results in the future

How you choose to spend your time is more important to you than anyone. I dont think anyone should care except your family. We live this life once, after that we die. Your time on earth should be spent on the things you love to see yourself do and interact with. If it is your family, spend it on them. If it is your workplace, addiction, whatever that makes you feel better do those things because its on you not what others think.

[fullhdpixel]

People will keep on talking about money like there are way more important things and we are not living in a capitalist world. When people tell you that money is not important, they are either rich, or they are people who rich ended up fooling. Do not trust anyone who tells you that money is not happiness, or not important, because the reality is that it's very important, maybe the most important thing.

Because while people will name other stuff, those are all terrible without money. They say that love is more important, but love as a poor person vs love as a rich person is not the same, or they say health is, but that is the same. The sad reality, which I do wish it wasn't the case, is that money is the most important thing.

[Jubilee58]

To me, money is not the most precious thing. But I consider knowledge, and wisdom to be the most precious thing as they are more preferable to money.
For instance, when you gain knowledge or wisdom, money will definitely come, and you will possibly know when and how to spend that money. There is a saying that don't give me fish, but teach me how to get the fish. Your knowledge which involves skills can fetch you money, and even when the money is not there, you have what it takes to give you that money. So in nutshell, what is given you money is more precious than the money itself because if you lack knowledge, and somebody gives money, if you finish spending that money, you can't get another one. But if you have knowledge, even when you don't have money, you are not threatened because you have the knowledge that will attract money to you.

Time and money are both valuable but the difference is that if you lose money, you can earn it again but once time is gone, you can't get it back. So it's not enough to just say wasting time, what we actually spend our time on is more important, In my opinion, it's not important to be productive all the time it's also important to give some time to rest, family or yourself. Because these also indirectly balance our lives, So instead of just thinking about spending time it's important to be aware of where and why we are spending it.

I totally agree with you because truly time and money are both valuable, and time you waste on things that might not be productive cannot be reversed. Have seen some wealthy people who owns businesses who doesn't have time for themselves at all, while others can just take an hour to do a whole lot, as an individual it is important that you know how to balance things up so that the other part of your life would not suffer. these days everyone is so busy making money that they don't have time to rest or even spend quality time with their loved ones at home.

[Pearl_20]

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.

Truly time is of essence and no amount on money earned or that you have can make up for years or days you weren't there for your loved ones, many marriages and relationships even children are suffering for time not spent with their parents. People are so cut up with issues of life and forgetting the most important things, and at the end of the day most of them lives with regret. Health and getting enough rest, spending quality time with family and loved ones are things that should count daily, so while looking for money make room for the most important things because if anything happens even the money that you are so pursuing won't save you. Just like you said, there are people battling with terminal disease's that money can't help and most of these people are the ones who ignored the signs of taking care of themselves and resting when necessary. Most children who are living recklessly are products of parents who are busy with making money and at the end the family suffers, and the society as well.
