How Important Is Money ?
No one would argue , I think , that money is unimpor tant . There a re ce rtain things that human beings need — food , shelter , medical care and these things cost money . But if one has enough money to live on , to pay for the basic essentials of life , is it impor tant to have a lot more money than that ?Will your life improve in propor tion to the amount of money that you have ?
Well , there is no denying that money can buy a lot . Maybe you do not need much money to pay for a simple shelter , but how about if you want a nice big apar tment in a nice neighbourhood , or if you want to buy a house ? In fact , people do get on each other’s ne rves if they are crowded together in a small kitchen , if a mar ried couple cannot but sha re a room with their parents , if childr en ar e not allowed to have a little privacy of their own .
Mor eove r , it is nice to get a little pleasur e out of life, a little fun from time to time . Unfor tunately , many of the fun things that you can do today cost money . In modern cities , for example , on any night , outstanding performers appear in night clu bs and on concer t stages . Fur thermore , you can dine on foods f rom eve ry corne r of the wor ld in the restaur ants . So how can it be that many people in mode rn cities do not have fun ? Simple, they do not have the money to take advantage of all these att ractions .
So , is money the road to happiness ? Not r eally . La rge numbers of people work eve ry day , work over time, work weekends , and make a lot of money . Are they happy ? No . They have no time to form or maintain friendship , no time to enjoy themselves .
Sur ely everyone has thought at times ,“If only I had a lot of money , I would be the happiest person in the wor ld .”But it is impor tant to r emember that money is only a means to an end , not the end itself .
