I disagree that money is the most important thing in life. Everything in life requires money‚ but little did people know there are many other things that should come before it. To some people money means everything to them‚ to me money is important but it’s not the most important. You need money to survive‚ to meet our basic needs‚ to provide for ourselves and our families. Other than that‚ money is only able to buy you materialistic things‚ but when it comes to love‚ happiness‚ etc. Money is useless

One thing is more important than health and that is positive
