Money: Is it the most important thing in life? [ENDS 18/03/2012]

Yes, money is the most important thing in life. With money, you can buy bacon. Lots and lots of Bacon. I love bacon, bacon makes me feel so good and happy inside even though i feel sort of guilty for eating a dead pig, but the point is, if i have money, i have bacon. So therefore Money = bacon. Bacon = Happiness. Happiness = Important.

This sounds absurd. Bacon makes you feel good but it's not guaranteed to make you feel good when you're older because it's somehow gonna affect your health. and when you get bored with bacon, what are you gonna substitute it with? so, at the end of the day, you'll get nothing more than temporary happiness. a good life has its ups and downs. doesnt mean you have to always be happy.

and yes I agree with Jen. You have to be grateful with what you have. Perhaps we have a different perception of life.

YES you should be grateful with what you have but not everybody is causing us not to be happy! Yes ofc life has ups and downs, that's what makes it so great if you didn't have the downs you'd never have the ups and vice versa but how can you TRULY be happy if somebody stripped you of ALL your money? You'd have nowhere to live, no food to eat and you'd live a pretty grim life sleeping rough on the streets having people urinate on you and physically and mentally abuse you? How could anybody be happy with that and be grateful with what they have? :S

My point is money is important but not the most important!!!I've been saying that since my first post. You don't have to sacrifice other things just for money. For example, prostitutes. They sacrifice their health and body etc. for money because I know they have no other choices but what's life when you are used like that? Should money be THAT important? I'd rather die young than let myself being used over and over like rubbish.

Like someone else previously said though, there's always been some form of currency and it has always been important wether it's trading goats for things or whatever. It has ALWAYS be probably the most important thing because you generally need it for just about anything and it always has been like that.

money isn't the most important just because you say so. the question isn't "can you live on no money" anyone with half a brain realizes you need money to survive. the question was "is money the MOST important thing?" - clearly girlnextdoor15 and i don't think it's the MOST important from our own personal point of view.

Of course I get the point... We obviously just share different views as jen said.

You don't need money to survive, how do you think cavemen survived?
