Is money the most precious thing?

[Unknown Op]

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.

If you have no Money in the pocket people will give no respect to you and if people are useless and they are not working for their aim they will no respect from the others because people always respect to the successful person and you are not valuable at that time and you have to work on yourself and earn money which will make you wealthy in a life. Many people are thinking that money is not important in life and they are the people who have no money and they are only talking and have no action. Actions always speak louder than the Words and if people are speaking and they have no job and business people will hear the word of that people because they will think that is useless person who wastes him time on useless things.

Money is not the most precious thing in life but it is very bad that people are being too delusional to think that money is the most precious thing. Just fall sick or lose someone you love so much when the money you have couldn't remedy those situations you will understand that the time you spent at peace with yourself and your loved ones are actually the most precious things. There is still some balance between time and money but let us not forget that time is more precious than anything, if you lose your time on unworthy things you can't recover that time anymore but you can lose money and still get it back.

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.

The days are gone when people were living lives that way, now money plays an important role in our lives and without it things don't work very well. Because of Bitcoin and new ways to earn income, it's not that hard to make money if you're good at Bitcoin investment or at Bitcoin trading. Anyone these days can make enough money per week or per month from internet, all they need is to do some smart work and learn new skills.

It’s true it's easy to make money on the internet and some people even use it in the wrong way such as scamming others, their motive is still the same, it's for money. Whenever people see something new they see an opportunity to earn money. Now we have the AI trend and people are using AI to make even more money. Since everything requires money nowadays, we’re willing to sacrifice our time, youth, energy and even our minds just to get money. Somehow, it feels like we’ve become slaves to money.s

Somehow, it feels like we’ve become slaves to money.s

No, that's not called slavery, that's call financial freedom, because if we have money then we can be financially free and such freedom is the best freedom I guess. If you've money then you can use it for good as well, you can help the poor, you can help students and those who're in need. But, if you don't have money then you can't help anyone. That's why I believe it's need of the day to earn money and increase your holdings and savings as much as possible.

Becoming slaves to money just because we earn money is always ridiculous metaphor frankly speaking. We don't earn money because we are a good slave to the money but we earn money so we can pay a lot of things that we need in the future.
Money works like conservation of purchasing power, stack as much money as you can because it means one more thing you can buy for your future self not because we like the smell of it.

If I can pay for a car and food with the grass on the roadside, I'd be accumulating the grass not because I'm slave to it but because it means more food and car for my future self.

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.

I agree with you, it's useless to have many people if we have physical or mental health issues that can't be cured, even with a lot of money, there's no way to get better.
Many people pursue wealth so their children can inherit it. This is natural, as all parents strive for it. However, we must also pay attention to our health. We shouldn't let wealth dominate us if it worsens our health.

Remember, being healthy when you are young does not mean you will always be healthy. Especially in modern life, where the quality of most foods cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you will not be able to maintain good health if you do not have enough money to buy clean meals and have a healthy living environment.
Moreover, you will not be able to maintain good health without access to quality medical care when you get sick.

So, do not try to deny the role and importance of money in today's world.

Doesn't everything cost money?

We do need money and those who are experiencing the lowest of their lives would even like to trade most of their time for it. That because covers everything, the bills, the rent, everything and we would like to do that. The perspective of whom we're talking to differs per situation. If you're talking to someone who's got enough money, good cash flow and a stable job. They'll say that time is precious and they'll like to spend sometime with their family and bond. But if you're talking to a broke guy who tries hard, they'd take all of the opportunity they can and even trade the family time just to provide. A hungry stomach chooses no condition when opportunities comes to them.

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.

They are right that time is valuable because it is for all of us. But if they are abundant in life, have a stable source of income and won't be problematic with what they'll eat later and tomorrow, it's easy to say that. Yet, for someone who's got a hungry stomach, they'd say that it's all about money. Even in the office setups, you only go there to work for the money and not with the friendship. When someone is in a greener pasture, they won't talk about what they eat but what they want to do and thus, they think about time is valuable because they already have a money. And for the money who are struggling to survive in a day, 100% they'll talk about money and it is what makes the world go round.

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.

You're right about that, money is not the most precious thing, before considering money as the precious thing in life first we have to think about our health because if you don't have good health there's no way you will consider money as the most precious thing, for example does that are deformed. If you ask them what is the most precious thing in their life I'm sure they would boldly say that it's their health because they knew how difficult it's for them, so if you ask me I would say that health is the most important thing, my people once Said that "health is wealth" and I see a lot of senses in that statement.

[Kakaza55]

No, money is not and never will be the most valuable thing in the world. However, money is the most important tool for a high quality of life, providing comfort, security, and opportunity. The most valuable things in the world are breath, health, relationships, love, freedom, and time. These are the most valuable things that money cannot buy.

[dezoel]

It's not, a happy life is, and money helps you get happy life easier, but it is not guaranteed. There are more people who are rich and happy, than people who are poor and happy, if you are poor, being happy is a lot harder, and usually doesn't happen, because you are always in need of money to pay for stuff.

But that doesn't mean that automatically would be happy if you have any money, it would be hard if you have other problems. In the end, as long as you are happy, then you are fine, that's the most precious thing.

[barbara44]

It is actually a very complex topic, and is not that easy to understand the value of both things mentioned, because both of them are valuable, but both of them will have their significance at different times in your life, depending on what you are and what you do. I'll explain properly.

Some people say that time is more important than money because money wasted can be earned back but time that you waste can't be back, and some would argue that money is more important because if it wasn't, you wouldn't be spending your time to make money because you already have time but you don't have money, and time without money is useless. None of these people are wrong, both of them are important, but as I said, it depends on a person's status in life, and that can be achieved by using your time in the right way in the initial phase, and once you've reached somewhere, then your time will become very valuable.

For example, if you have worked hard and become a celebrity, or maybe a famous influencer, the world will value your time a lot, and they will be ready to pay you a lot of money to only make an appearance. In comparison, if you are someone with no status, your time won't have much value.

[junder]

Remember, being healthy when you are young does not mean you will always be healthy. Especially in modern life, where the quality of most foods cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you will not be able to maintain good health if you do not have enough money to buy clean meals and have a healthy living environment.
Moreover, you will not be able to maintain good health without access to quality medical care when you get sick.

So, do not try to deny the role and importance of money in today's world.

Looking at it from that perspective, there is certainly some truth to it in today’s world we can’t always expect to stay healthy and maintaining good health requires money. However, there were people in the past who managed to stay healthy without money relying solely on their strong discipline. In fact, their immune systems were arguably stronger than those of young people today, because they were skilled at utilizing traditional remedies that were readily available for free. Money plays a powerful role in today’s world, but it still can’t buy everything.

[IjawMan]

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.

A hack fact that distinct time and money in spite of their value and worth. Money wastefully spent can be regained with time, but time wasted can not be regained with money cause no one how stinky rich can buy time back.

What we spend our time on is more important and I may want to add that it is not only about what we spend our time on but how and what and when we spend it on, cause you can be spending your time on what may look important which may not be the right time to produce the right results to make a great change.

People having been spend efforts doing things that should literally change their situation, connect them to the right contacts but it all have proven futile. Cautiously assess it and you will confirm that what they may having been doing despite how important was not done at the right time and place, right timing in life is a grace we've to possess

[bitterguy28]

nice analogy.

we must think of time as something infinite but the truth is, it’s also limited and we don’t know when we will run out of it. one thing for sure is we need to make the most out of every second or every cent every single day.

[bangjoe]

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.

They are right that time is valuable because it is for all of us. But if they are abundant in life, have a stable source of income and won't be problematic with what they'll eat later and tomorrow, it's easy to say that.

And for the money who are struggling to survive in a day, 100% they'll talk about money and it is what makes the world go round.

Indirectly that the point of view depends on the position, what is valuable or not depends on the circumstances we have if we look at the situation of many parties, however we cannot judge someone who is looking for money by sacrificing a lot of his time and even only sleeping two hours to four hours a day to look for additional income, because they are struggling to maintain their lives today and tomorrow and next week, a different position when people who are at a much better financial level, their views will be much different from people who are starving, the conclusion we get is that something valuable in life depends on a person's point of view and condition whether rich or poor, whether they have money or not.

Is money the most precious thing?

Money is merely a means of payment, not a valuable asset. Everyone seeks money because they need a way to pay for their necessities. Those who are wise in managing their money seek to acquire as much as possible—not to hoard it in a savings account—but to invest it in ways that generate a steady income stream, allowing them to live comfortably without having to work their entire lives.

If a single bill used to be able to buy a certain item, perhaps today a single bill can no longer buy the same item it once could.
Money is valuable if you know how to use it.

[Pablo-wood]

Money is not the most precious thing in life but it is very bad that people are being too delusional to think that money is the most precious thing. Just fall sick or lose someone you love so much when the money you have couldn't remedy those situations you will understand that the time you spent at peace with yourself and your loved ones are actually the most precious things. There is still some balance between time and money but let us not forget that time is more precious than anything, if you lose your time on unworthy things you can't recover that time anymore but you can lose money and still get it back.

Time lost can never be recovered but truly money lost can be recovered even when time is lost. Money to me is just a reward for diligence, hard work and dedication. I agree with you time is more precious than money infact any time lost will cost more damages to who ever lost it but money lost will only have a temporal effect but if patience and hard work persists the money will be recovered even in more folds than what was lost.

Is money the most precious thing?

For me, the most valuable things in our lives are health, time, life experience and peace of mind, all of which in my view are more valuable than the nominal money itself.
For me, money is only a tool as a bridge to achieve worldly goals, not the end of life.
In my opinion, money can be seen as important for survival, not valuable, where money will provide access to overcome life's problems, even though we understand that money can give us what we want by buying something with money, but not what is most valuable.
