If I want to keep living in my apartment and eating, yes.

I think it's easy for people who live at home with their parents to forget the importance of money and that it really does make the world go round.

I think money is very important .. But family and friends are more important than its ~

Without money, life would be terrible. ----
But without family and friends, life would be without smile and happiness .... .

I know it sound's clichee.. but money is actually not everything.
Money is - without a doubt - VERY important. It helps you manage daily stuff. And depending on how much money you have you can go either easily through your life - or not so easily.

I've never been spoiled, so I'm not rich. I had a rich girlfriend once and it felt .. so unreal.. as if you'd have cybersex :< which also (probably) feels unreal. Almost all of my "wishes" were easily granted.. but if they are easily granted, one doesn't really know the value of the item. It's the same with items inside a multiplayer online roleplay game. If you buy items (or money) off a botter, you don't really know its value. And the items you purchase later on don't mean that much to you.

So yeah.. money is important.. but it's important to keep standing with both feets on the ground so that you don't forget how to value items, relationships or anything else.

I'd also like to have some more of this good (money) so that I can buy something sometimes and don't have to count almost every euro I earn. But then again.. if I remember how happy I was (and still am) when I bought the playstation portable for my earned money (I don't get financial help from anyone). I still value this item (psp).

And finally there's stuff you simply can't buy with money. You can't buy true love - if you are rich, you can buy the feeling of being in love (maybe), but as soon as you don't have enough money to pay the girl / guy - he/she might simply drop you. That's what hardly would happen if you'd be really in love.

Money has to be there, but stay what it is: a help to get through life. Not more, not less.

Money is everything. You can't live happy without it, it's a fact.
And you can buy almost everything with it.
Unfortunately I don't have enough money for a carefree life... >_>

Its imortant enough for me to want a lot of it, truth is even if we all think it isnt important or its partly important, it wont matter, no one will be able to live in comfort or happy if they dont have money, it wont matter if its 10 dollars or one million, we need it.

Money is very important to me!
i need money in all the time. For me, money can buy anything. Even it cannot be use to instead relative or friendship, but no money, no life.
I cant really imagine how is my life will going on without any money. There are how many people are in starving because of no money to buy food. In short, to live for life, I need money. >.<

Money is a good motivation for many people. What’s important about money to you? The answer should be an emotion that is your inner driving force. About money core value:
1.Security/Peace of mind
This is the single most common emotion people look for from their money, especially for women. If you are looking for security, you will want a comfortable nest egg and relatively safe investments. You may spend money on your family or home, which are most important to you, but otherwise prefer to save money to have a larger nest egg.
2.Freedom
Real freedom is financial freedom. There are so many things that you can do if you have money that are just not an option otherwise. Many people really want their money to give them freedom. Freedom from a routine life that can be suffocating. Freedom to do whatever is important to you and gives your life meaning.
3.Self-confidence
There is a quiet, inner confidence that comes from having money. If you look for inner self-confidence from your money, you may indirectly link your personal value to your net worth. Many millionaires (“Millionaire Next Door” book types) gain their self-confidence from having money, not spending money.
4.Respect
Respect is similar to self-confidence, except that it is more about others admiring you and appearing confident, rather than having an inner self-confidence. You like to own things that are good quality and have quality brand names. You may be a spender and have debt problems, never accumulating much wealth. You may be more interested in looking like you have money, than actually having it, but you need to have a reasonable nest egg to avoid ever losing face.
5.Independence
Money can mean you know you will never be a burden to your loved ones. Being financially dependent on someone else often comes with strings. Independence requires a reliable income and a solid nest egg. You may want to do everything yourself, whether you are good at it or not. If you know your weaknesses, you may well look for professionals you can trust in these areas to ensure your independence.

Money IS an important thing in modern life.

And the happiness theme, well it really depends, the people can find happiness in almost everything, not just family, love, friends, the classic "non-buyable" concepts, and money can buy those things, some people feel happy just having stuff in his possesion and that is a form of happiness.

In my case I can be happy with money, not as happy as if I'm in couple or with friends, but certainly can be very enlightening.

Cheers...

I think it's an "as much... so much" kind of thing, having too much money and not sharing the wealth is detrimental to the better of society, while not having enough if obviously not good for society either. There is a line where luxury and necessity meet, and I believe that is where most people should try to keep their givings/receive-ings at.

Money buys happiness no matter what anyone says..

Cool things makes me happy
Money buys cool things
I'm happy

Everyone is different and require different things to survive/be happy .. I could live with millions of dollars or thousands of dollars. Don't think I'd do well with no money.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who believe that money = happiness. Some people take pride in their possessions like they are trophies, accomplishments, a reflection of their lifestyle and success.

I dont own much, the things I have reflect who i am and what I am interested in. But I understand the importance of money and wealth. If you want to one day support a family you need an income, you should get a home and be able to live comfortably.
Money is a means to obtain this, what is important is the way in which you earn your money.
You want to be a telemarketer? If thats what going to make you happy then go for it.
You have to be happy earning your crust.
