A lot of times people think of money as a good thing, but really it corrupts. Jonathan Swift had said“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.” When people gain a lot of wealth most of the time the start to look down on people but in the end it doesn't matter because we all end up the same. Dead. “We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins.” Tupac Shakur explains this perfectly, no matter who we are we’re going to die because we are the same, human beings. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald shows how wealth creates social class which can ruin relationships.…
Money is power, which people want for themselves. The desire for money is a never ending trip and most individuals will do anything for this control. When people come in to some money, they feel superior, more powerful and above the rest of the other people that have less .they start hanging in crowds with the same level of income, so they feel better. I had a friend who once talk all the time, play together and hangout. When she got older, her family came in to money big time. Now she doesn’t talk to me, and never does anything with me. A…
This never ending pursuit of money has made the society a selfish one. People forget that there are many things that money can't buy. A Chinese proverb summarizes this argument very well by saying that money can buy a house but it cannot make a home, that it can not buy time, sleep knowledge, health, respect and a good life only the material aspects can be bought but not ones that come from within. Stephen R. Covey in his book ' seven habits of highly effective people also mentions that some of us tend to be centered around money and so our sense of security and happiness is directly related to how much money we have and since its human nature to never be satisfied with what one has he is likely to remain unhappy most of the time. Even a huge increase in wealth is unlikely to satisfy such a person. For this purpose we need to alter our centres to what we really want at the end of our…
Since the time when cavemen inhabited the earth, it has become human nature to want more than what one has. Before the concept of wealth was developed, humans fulfilled their needs by trading or bartering with others based on items that they needed to survive. As mankind has advanced, humans have expanded into desiring nonessential things. Money has become a medium for exchange and a payment for work, and currency is now fundamental to most life on earth. Only three percent of Americans supply their own food through farming or hunting, which reflects that a massive ninety-seven percent of American’s use money every day to purchase food.1 The amount of money one possesses culturally determines their success in life. Humans who have wealth, also have influence, because they have what people desire and are able to live the lifestyle that they want. As people believe that they need more wealth, they become slaves to money. The humans who possess wealth gain influence over money worshippers and as a result, are the most powerful in society.…

That is the thought of most of the populace. Many people include the word money when they were asked to pick five things considered important to their lives. In a short article, “Money, Markets and Madness,” Vanessa Baird addresses “…what money means to us as human beings: the extraordinarily dominant role it plays in our societies, in our psyches, and in determining our very survival” (2). People use it every day to trade goods, such as buying clothes, food, and shelter. In this way, money is important to humans because it is used to exchange goods based on their needs. However, because of greed, some people turn it into something more important than their lives. They try to get as much money as they can even when they have to go out and do the bad things. They let money control their brains. They feel satisfied when they have more money than their peers; it is a fake happiness in a competition with no…
First of all, money cannot afford the most important thing in our life, such as smile, health, families and time.

Money has different purposes to each person. Some people make it so important to them that it is an idol in their life. I have heard it said before in a movie, “Money isn’t real, it’s only as real as you make it.” Which has a great deal of truth in it. I would be ignorant to say that money is not important today, but when it becomes more important than your relationship with God, then you become in trouble. God provides. It’s as simple as that. What you use your…

We live in a world where money is needed for everything we do, so we end up becoming obsessed. At first, it’s a necessity, but then we want more. A person wants to keep making money because they are greedy. As long as they are greedy, they will always crave for more than what they need. In general, money is powerful, but at the same time you can’t let it control your life. In the Queen of Versailles, David Siegel is trying to build the dream house. In order to do that, he has to borrow money from the bank. As he proceeds to build the mansion, the bank stops giving him money. His idiotic wife doesn’t know what’s going on, and she goes on an endless shopping spree. In the end, the man ends up losing the house, and is forced to sell it.
