Money is not everything in life
It is ironic that some people can't think about anything except money. Money is an addiction. Once you get it's greed you can never stop thinking about it.
If you ever ask a businessman, if money is everything in life, he would have thought you insane. Because the only aim of there life is to make more and more money. They are apt to do anything in need of money; cheat or loot other people. Like all other things money also got two sides: bad and the good side. Rich people think that with money they can buy everything they want. There are persons who are superrich or multibillionary. But, ask them if they are happy. I think the answer would be no. Rich parants think that they can keep their children happy by buying everything they want. They try to substitude money for love and care. Children grown by this way are apt to have the wrong lesson about what is true happiness. Money can lead a person to do crime like murduring or stealing. It can also be the reason of broken relationship between brothers or sisters or family. Money is a simple word but it's ability is endless. I think money can't destroy anything if it is hardly earned and used in the right way. But i also beleive that there are many things in life that money can't buy. You cann't buy good friend instead of money nor can you buy happiness. So it stands that money is really not everything in

    There are constant debates on why did the South lose the Civil War. The Civil War ended 150 years ago but that has not affected historians to question the outcome of the war for the Confederacy. According to Gary Gallagher, many historians work backward starting from Appomattox to explain the failure of the war. He continues by stating that those historians claim the reasoning for the failure was caused by the lack will to win the war by the Confederates. Gary Gallagher disagrees with these methods historians use. Gary Gallagher believes that the best way to understand why the Confederates lost the Civil War takes a different approach. This is Gary W. Gallagher’s thesis in his The Confederate War is “Why did so many Confederates fight for so long? Until this question receives the detailed attention long accorded the first, the history of the Confederacy will remain imperfectly understood” (17).…

    When I was younger, I thought money ruled everything but in reality it doesn’t. Working hard doesn’t apply anymore in today’s economy. Most of the people who are wealthy have grown into the money or inherited from their ancestor. People hold the wealthy to a higher standard/power therefore they think they are better than the middle/lower class. Even though money is a great asset to have, it can be a liability. As I read the essay about Tim Blixseth, he was an individual who was not impressed or got excited about how much money he and his family had. He wanted to be low key, an average middle class person who worked hard for what he got not just given. In the story “Living It” he tells us how he would wake up in different locations each night.…

    The definition of dystopia is "an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one." The definition of utopia is "an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect." Many dystopian communities are created while trying to make utopian ones. Both The Giver and The Prophet of Yonwood are both dystopian. Just because both of these books are dystopian, it does not mean they're similar, but also doesn’t mean they're completely different.…

    A lot of times people think of money as a good thing, but really it corrupts.

    “It seems only natural that happiness should flow from having more money. Even if they don’t admit it, people still behave as though it were true. More money means you can have what you want and do what you want.” (Dean 2008). Wealth and possessions do not equal happiness because no matter how much money and gems you have you can not buy feelings, but only comfort, also if you are working hard for more money you are experiencing more stress and negative emotions.…

    Rich and wealthy are all based on personal opinions. The average person does not desire to be rich, they just want enough money to live on, and maybe a little more for extras. For the average person, extras include vacations, newer cars, and newer phones. Another question to help answer the big question is, Do people need money to be happy in life?. Many people would say yes and argue that people can buy the things that make them happy. The other side might argue that the things that make people happiest cannot be bought. Such as love, family, and good health. If everyone can find what makes them happy in life, then that should help direct them to their American…

    Although there will always be those who say money cannot buy happiness, money can lead to personal satisfaction, which in the end leads to happiness. Happiness can be created through the things that one owns, also by what they have compared to others around them. As said in the article, “The Happiness of Pursuit,” one helps obtain happiness because “money can boost happiness if it allows people to obtain more of the things they need and desire” (qtd. in Kluger). This is proven through the fact that when people get what they want, or get more of the things they enjoy, then they become happy, and money can be used to get those things. It can also be argued that based on the amount of money one makes, their happiness can either be increased or decreased. In an article from the Time Magazine, according to Belinda Luscombe, “the more [people make], the more they felt their life was going well.” If it is true that the more money people make, and the better they feel pertaining to how their life is going, then they will definitely be happier depending on their monetary wealth. With the constant arguing back and forth of people as to whether money makes people happy, sad, or has no affect, it is apparent that money does affect people’s lives. Money can both help people get what they want, also help make their lives feel as if they are going well, which are both…

    People are what is important in life, as Gatsby learned the hard way. Wealth lasts only for a short time, whereas connections with people will last past death. There is little happiness in wealth, it may remove some of the physical problems such as bills, but there will always be the sorrow that other people inflict. Such as the way of life, nothing is perfect. Money does not change that, money does not make someone a better person, it only makes them more susceptible to others. There are no price tags on…

    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. Obtaining money can either make you live a life of greed and misery, or a positive life.…
