When I was small...I always talk to parents that when I grow up bigger, I'll make more and more money and buy a BIG house to them...on that period, what I can see is Money equal to everything, children if want a toy they juz ask from their parents then sure their parents buy for them...BUT...In my memory, I still remember that I have a friend when I were standard 3, she get high fever and her parents spent a lots of money on her but still not cure, she has been shift to different clinics until sent to hospital and finally, she passed away...(so sad) at that time, I ask my father why Money cannot help my friend to get recover? My father just told me that, "Money can only buy a thing, but cannot buy a LUCK..." Ermmm? On that time, I can't understand what my father said...and NOW, I realized that even we have a lots of money but not means that we can do everything that we want to be...especially our LUCK, it is not controlled by us...it controlled by "someone"....if not, why a healthy guy still get cancer? why a good driver still facing car accident? why a good businessman still facing bankruptcy? why a good mum still killed by her lovely children? why and why? Without answer and solving method...all these can use Money to solve them? SURE.......NO!

I think all those questions don't fit with your statement at the beginning, it would make more sense if you said that luck isn't controlled by "someone", if it would, all those questions should have an obvious answer. But we should define luck first.
Why a good driver has a car accident? If it's a good driver the accident is caused by another person or situation, and luck would be the chances of that guy being there, but if you put a bad driver in the same situation the result is the same and couldn't be the drivers fault, even if he's a bad driver.
But I'm getting off the subject, sorry, about the money thing, it may give you more chances when you're facing something and help your luck, like lets use the car example again: if you have a nice car with everything working as it should etc there are less chances that you'll get an accident, which doesn't mean 0 chances. But if you don't have the money to afford a car with the best technology and you can't afford to check often to make sure everything is ok, you have more chances to be in a car accident.
Money can't do all the job, but it helps, that's for sure.

I think the big picture is, no matter how much money you have, you can't always control everything, no matter how much money you have. So much money has been spent on researching diseases like cancer but it still exists. We can spend as much money as we want on researching a way to prevent hurricanes and tornadoes, but in the end, people are still going to get killed - money can't prevent mother nature. I doubt money can prevent global warming, but instead it's people's habits that will affect global warming. I think the big picture is that way.

For mostly, everyday things, like buying gas for your car, paying for tuition fees, buying food etc., we tend to think everything is driven by money, but we don't realize that there are things that money can't buy (the Mastercard commercial is right).

Money is not everything, in my opinion I believe that having trust and respect from other people is most important. If you have all the money in the world and no one likes you, there isnt much of a point..

There is a saying that Money answereth all things? i don't think that is always the case at all either. but do agree with the saying that the love of money is the root of all evil. not the money it's self but the love of it. cigarette companies continually sell cancer sticks for the love of money. governments keep unnecessary wars going for profit that is for the love of financial gain. putting your job and financial gain over time with your family is also no good cause that only displays the love of gain over the love of your family, and some even will try to justify this saying that they will be happier with the things they want rather than have all my love. people make shady decisions to save money people are able to be bribed because of the love of money. i don't like to hear it misquoted as money is the root of all evil no that is not it at all because there are many positive things it is used for. valuing the value of money too much is where the problems begin.

Money is not everything, but we can't live without it... haha! this is what i heard since i was small...

But the main thing is we need to have "enough" money for our living... That's it! the problem is how Much is "enough"?? That will depend on each individual..

As a human, morality good is our fundamental.. Even though some thing would bring us alot of money by doing it... we shouldn't accept it... such as selling drugs and so...

All in all, Good person is much more important than the money..

In today's commercial world money is everything. Sure it won't buy happiness but it will by the illusion of happiness for some. It's everything in the sense that you need it to live a good life if you're already a materialistic (Even if you're only a little materialistic) Sure you could go live in one of those self-sustaining community but we've been spoiled by lives in houses XD

Now while I say money is everything in todays world, I definitely don't consider it to be everything. Sure you want to have a good paying job so you don't have to struggle to live, but I don't believe money should EVER come first, people should always be priority over money.

Money goes a long way into making ones life better. Money does increase you chances of god things happening. But nothing, upon nothing changes your chances of somethign bad happening. Take the car for example as was mentioned before. You can have the best car in the world that money can buy, but that doesn't chage you chances of getting ont he same road as a bad driver. The condition of the car (only in severe cases) alters your chances of that specific car going wrong. Bad transmission, bad fuel injector, etc. The biggest thing in driving that changes anything is your attention to the road and whats around you, being aware of your surroundings. When ti comes to diseases or cancer, not even money can help you. Sure, if you have the money, you can go through Kemo-theropy to increase your survival rate, but it only delays the inevitable. I know, it's a gruesome way of thinking about life, but if it's your time to go, you're gonna go. No money in the wiorld is going to stop death from taking you.

Money... it's not the most important thing of the world but it helps you a lot. I mean, you can focus in the things that really matter if you are financially ok. For instance, if you have a family and you don´t have the money to feed them, have a home, etc. you cannot think in anything else and you're life is going to be really miserable... so it's not complety true when people say that money does not make you happy... money may not be happiness, but it takes you a huge weight of your shoulders...
