Is money the most precious thing?

[pusaka]

Money is actually very powerful and important because it gives comfort, but what you do with the money and time matters a lot. Once time passes, no amount of wealth can truly bring it back and that is why many people later regret not spending enough time with family, taking care of themselves, or enjoying the moments while they were busy chasing financial success and i follow up with your point about using money to buy time.

I believe money is important when it comes to your freedom and, in a way your financial independence. When you have savings, you have the ability to quit a job you don’t like. Or you can start a different business, and if one day you get tired of it or it doesn’t meet your expectations, you still have options and security. But money should never become the only goal in life, where you work solely for earning and accumulating more of it. Because in that case, life passes by very quickly, and in the end you may be left with money, but life itself will have passed you by.

I won't deny that money is very important in life, but there is something more important than that that we should pay more attention to, and that is health. Without health, I think money is worth less. The reason is that we will not enjoy the money if we are sick, for example there is someone I know who is very rich but they have a disease for many years, he can no longer consume the food he used to eat. While other people can eat anything, he only eats the food recommended by the doctor.
 
During his illness, he also went back and forth to the hospital every week and even every 3 days. It was really agonizing, even though he had a lot of money, he couldn't enjoy it. In fact, it was only spent to pay for her treatment.

So health is the most important thing to pay attention to. If we are healthy, we can still work to earn money, but when we are sick, we will only spend money.

[Uruhara]

Therefore, money is not the most precious thing, but nothing is more precious or important than it.

Yes, money is not everything, but it is a vital tool to achieve freedom and make life easier. While money is important in life, health, time, and several other things are more valuable to most individuals. Money is a means of exchange to make things easier, but it is not the ultimate goal of life because there are still several other things that are more valuable, such as lost time that cannot be returned, health and mental cannot be bought, unlike money that can be earned. Admittedly, money is very important for material well-being, but balance with non-material things is the key to a meaningful life.

Ultimately, everything is important in its own way. These days, money can certainly help us lead a healthy lifestyle. for example, by eating nutritious food and so on. However, in the end, money is also sometimes used to meet our basic needs, and in life, we want to be healthy and happy. So, yes, everything is indeed important. But health and time simply cannot be compared to other materialistic things. Because even if you’re extremely wealthy, it won’t guarantee happiness if your body isn’t healthy.

Without money, how would you survive, let alone enjoy life? If you are healthy but lack money, how can you afford delicious food and enjoy life?
Just think, if that man had not been wealthy, do you think he could have survived until now? I do not know if you have ever spoken to him, but I believe he is probably happy with his life right now. Although he could not enjoy life like a healthy person, at least his wealth helped him fight off illness and prolong his life.

I think health, money, and even time are all equally important. That is why we are trading our time and health for money.

Poor will always say that money is the most precious thing, rich person will say time, but sick will name health. There will never be a correct and true answer. Moreover the answer is very dependable from situation. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a multi-billionaire. Today I dream to get back to childhood. Money will always be important, they will be the keys to many doors, but I think they will never be the most precious thing. For me they are only an instrument, which I wish to have more, but what I have already, that is fine for me.

Money no doubt adds value to life. There are celebrities, businessmen who says that money can't buy you everything but they themselves have spend their life in earning money. So before you say money is not everything, make sure you have earned enough money. To give our family a comfortable life we need money because it is through money we can buy food for our family, pay school fees of our kids and so on. Just make sure that you don't ruin your health in chasing money because if health its lost then its almost impossible to recover it.

Many people do say money is not everything, but the truth remains that money solves 99 percent of our basic needs and when there is enough money to feed family, pay bills, access healthcare, and give children a good education, naturally there is less stress and more comfort in life without thinking about anything that money can solve. I agree that it is easier for  successful people to say money is not important because they already have it. For someone struggling to survive daily, money is not just paper but it is peace of mind.

Yes, Its very realistic point that the value of things depends on the financial conditions of individuals. For instance  a individual who financially struggling may prefer money as the most worthy thing because its gives him comfort and security and on the other side for wealthy people time is more important than money. So the importance of money actually understands the sick person better than any others. Your point about childhood is also value able because people while chasing there goals miss the happiness of younger time and thinks this time was much better than adulthood.  No doubt money is the basic need but its not only the purpose of life because its just a tool to fulfill the basic needs. So the actual happiness comes when we have peace of mind, health and family.

Money is always needed, for good health, people need good food, they need to eat good fruits, but in this case, it should be understood that money is also needed to eat good food, and I have seen that a middleclass family somehow manages their household with the money they earn, and they do not have any money left in their hands with which they cannot buy good fruits or good food that is a little more expensive. So I think money is also needed for good health, good food, as well as a healthy environment, and good treatment, everything is needed for money, so earning money is definitely important, but it is necessary in a good way, not a way that through which many illnesses arise in our body.

Yes I have same point, without money nothing is possible. It is a tool by which we exchange our need through some currency. People who claimed that money is not everything are making us fool. What things you can really buy without money. I feel so crazy when motivational speaker oftenly told us that relationship are important more than money. Even for addressing such topic they charged money. Means even counselling is not free.
In this world where not single paper is has some value in currency, how can we deny it's important. So yes money is very precious things and it's not bad if someone put his effort for attaining this. It's not materialistic approach, it is something that can be a source of getting opportunities, comfort or standard

No offense intended, but based on my observations. There are two types of people who say that money is not everything and that happiness can not be bought.

The first type is those who are genuinely wealthy and already have a massive fortune. However, the funny thing is that even though they always say money is not everything, they never stop and still want to become even richer. Elon Musk is a clear example.
The second type is those who have failed at making money and have accepted a life of poverty. They deny the importance of money to cover up their failures.

Just make sure that you don't ruin your health in chasing money because if health its lost then its almost impossible to recover it.   

This is a principle everyone understands, but sometimes life does not give us the choice. Many people are risking their lives for money because they cannot live without it.

$20000

Your friend has been given an offer. He will be given $20000 in his account every day, only for that day. After 12 midnight on that day, this money will have no more utility. He will not be able to spend this money anymore. But he can spend the money as he wants throughout the day. The funny thing is that he will not be able to deposit this money for the next day, and he will not be able to give the money to anyone else. You are very surprised to notice that your friend keeps the money. The money comes into the account, it becomes invalid the next day, and again the money is deposited in the account, it becomes invalid again the next day. That money is not used for any purpose.

You will definitely think, how can someone do such a stupid thing?
But interestingly, if you look at it, money is also a resource, time is also a resource.  You and I are also given 86,400 seconds every day, seconds that we cannot give to anyone else. You can only spend them yourself. You can't even carry them over to the next day, right? We are also wasting that time. However, if we had distributed this time and resources properly, and tried to do it in a way that would yield proper output in the long-term, then in the end we would have seen that we were getting a compounding effect. And an effective successful life is being achieved.

when i was reading your post, i was already getting angry at your friend and his decisions not until i read the second paragraph and had to have a rethink but let's also be very frank with ourselves, how are we truly supposed to spend and use our days effectively when we all have different factors that affect our lives?
some of these motivations might sound like pressure to the next person and also a motivation to the other person.

i know i am doing the best i could with my life and time and if i could do more, sure i would without hesitations but if i get a guaranteed $20k everything to spend with no strings attached, trust me, i would do things we can't imagine except there would be more restrictions aside not carrying over the money or a day to the next day

Money does not guarantee anything. But do you agree with me that if we had more money, we would have a better chance of maintaining good health? Because then, we will get to eat quality food, have time to rest and take care of ourselves.

Instead of thinking that those wealthy people would also die if they get a fatal disease. Just think, what would happen if they were poor? They may die sooner, suffer more, and have more regret for being a burden to their families and leaving nothing behind for their children.

Yup money can improve our health. I’ve seen people eating leftover food from the trash, cook it again and eating it, that’s definitely unhealthy for them but if they're not eating, they could die from starvation. I guess they have no other choice because they don’t have enough money to buy proper food. But in the end, it also depends on each person because some people have poor money management and don’t care about their health. Instead of buying healthy food they buy junk food which can affect their health in the future.

So is time the most valuable? If you analyze it deeply, the answer to this question may be yes because as you said, time cannot be held with money or anything else. People can plan their life based on time. They can decide how long they want to be in a given situation or when. Suppose a person starts a business today with a small investment, then his goal will be to improve his business in a few years from now, in which case every second until that target time is very valuable. He then tries to use the value of every second. But if he underestimates time and focuses on something else, it is most likely that his business will not improve.
That is why time can be very valuable, which is why time management is a very important issue.

Everyone has time and time is equal for everyone but money is different not everyone has enough money to fulfill their needs. Poor people may have time but because of many factors they don’t have enough money. So when they see someone who can afford the things they want, they tend to think that money is very precious.It’s true that we can’t buy time with money especially when we want to get back good memories from the past or become young again. In my opinion, people who think time is very precious are usually people who already have enough money but they spent too much of their time chasing money instead of enjoying life.

Actually, that’s what happened to me. I spent a lot of time trying to build a better future when I finally got a decent salary, a comfortable place to live and stopped worrying so much about money then I started realizing that time is precious because in the past, I didn’t really enjoy my life.

Agreed. Money is indeed a very powerful tool today because everything must be bought with it, but time is an irreplaceable resource. Money can be acquired in any way. But time? Not so. There's no such thing as investing time that can turn back the clock. Many people chase money as if it were everything in life, but they forget that the time spent pursuing it is worth far more than the money earned. Many of us sometimes don't realize that we've traded decades of our lives to earn money, but when we have a lot of it we no longer have the energy or health to enjoy it.

So, the wisest step is to manage both simultaneously. We must use time effectively and use money to buy time by investing to create financial freedom in the future. Because in the end everyone can be happy not the richest in material things, but the one who feels their time is well spent.

Money is actually very powerful and important because it gives comfort, but what you do with the money and time matters a lot. Once time passes, no amount of wealth can truly bring it back and that is why many people later regret not spending enough time with family, taking care of themselves, or enjoying the moments while they were busy chasing financial success and i follow up with your point about using money to buy time.

You should not refrain from enjoying your life just to earn money. People's hobbies and interests do not last forever, we can earn money after a few days, but unfulfilled hobbies are lost later, which are never fulfilled and always remain unfulfilled. That is why you have to enjoy your life, you should not give your whole life to earn money, because human life is not eternal, our money will remain but we ourselves will disappear, and that money is worthless to you, it will not benefit you in any way.

This is true, but the thing is that some people worry less about hobbies hoping that they will fulfill that later but one thing they fail to understand is that life is unpredictable. There are some guys who devote thier time in making money and didn't bother about their families and hobbies and majority of this people didn't make it alive, so even while struggling to earn money we also need to make out time for our families and hobbies I personally can't stay a week without hearing from my love ones and also do the things that gives me joy because life is unpredictable.
