WHY IS MONEY IMPORTANT?
We have often heard the phrase “money doesn’t make you happy”, and as pious as that may sound, it really has no place in this modern world where everything revolves around money.
Money may not make some people happy but poverty doesn’t make anybody happy either. I have never seen a beggar who lives under a bridge refuse money from a passerby.
A poor person has not chosen a life of poverty and destitution, they’re in that position by circumstance and they’re certainly not happy about that situation either.
People are not homeless by choice but by circumstance, and those circumstances eventually evolved into a financial crisis in their lives which then led to their homelessness. Money is extremely important in this world and desiring to make as much of it as possible does not make you bad or evil.
We really need to break this mentality which says that it is morally wrong to want to be rich, especially when your plan is to use those riches to secure your future and those of your children and grand children.
