 Let's get one thing crystal clear....money runs the world, and to a great majority of people it is not only important it is the most coveted material. I won't be a hypocrite...I LOVE the concept of money, I belive far-left morons who think people can live in a society where an individual will be motivated by something other than money is beyond ludicrous. Money is pretty useful... For you weebs out there, your waifu also likes money...  |
| It's THE most important thing. It's more important than sex. Yeah I said it motherfuckers. Anyone who says it's not important at all nor is it high up on the priority list is either well off or delusional. |
 |
| Money is just paper or scraps of metal or integers on a data system that aren't worth their face value. Money has no objective inherent value. Money has its value determined in people's faith in it. It is essentially the religion of current society. Money is not a motivator in itself. What motivates people is their enjoyment in doing something or what they get out of doing it. So money is only a motivator in that it plays a middle role as the means to an end but this is only a cultural creation. Think about it. What good is money if people did not accept it? Can you eat it? Can it shelter you? Can it keep you warm? Can it love you? No. Can you obtain these things without money? Yes, but as the current prevailing system makes it more difficult. When was the last time you saw a dolphin or other non human animal using money? It's not a part of necessity for life and enjoyment it is just an idea. |

| Not that important, when you have alot of it it becomes just another thing you just have |
| It must be great being filthy rich... All those people that say "B-but money can't buy happiness..." What a load! And quite frankly that's poor people talk! |

| I hate how money's forced into being important to me.. On a side note, I kinda wish there was some kind of 'Tier system' where you have access to purchase better things based on some kind of 'niceness' scale.. then more people will try to be nice. |

| Money itself, as a currency so we don't have to trade 2 pigs for a cow, is awesome. Probably the best invention ever. Money as in wealth... it just is, I guess? I never really lacked it, but since I was a kid I loved idea of direct reward for work. Using your brain (or body) skillfully and getting money for it is fun imo. It's like alchemy, where you can change your work into food and clothes without ever learning gardening or sewing yourself. As for importance, it'd be top priority for me if I lacked money for something, but when I have enough savings, then it's pretty low. |
| I inherited a bunch from my grandmother so I'm pretty well off, but that aside I've never felt like money was something I just need to have. I don't really spend a lot normally anyway; as long as I have enough to get by I'd be happy |
  |
| hella i love buying cute things and finding deals on the stuff ive been waiting to buy ebay auctions are ecstasy too |
| I like to have enough to buy quality food, a computer, internet, occasionally nice things and not being forced into dealing with people I despise (at a workplace for example). I guess, that makes it kind of important. |
 |
| I don't spend a lot of money, but I would definitely love to have some more >__> I'd fly over to my gf every month and upgrade my PC to some startrek level shit. --ALEX-- said: It must be great being filthy rich... All those people that say "B-but money can't buy happiness..." What a load! And quite frankly that's poor people talk! I always thought the same thing until I met a friend of mine. He has made 100k off pro gaming and is very well off financially (he's only 18 or so I think). He says he'd give all of it away just to be healthy and live a normal life. Money can't buy everything. I can definitely fix a lot, but it can't fix everything. |
| I'd love just enough money to live my life without having to worry about what I am going to be doing in a few years time. Money is very important for me. |
    |
| Yeah, I guess. I’m an investor on the side, so it’s pretty important to me. I go out of my way to make money all the time; my bedside drawer is filled with coins. Though, inflation totally sucks, I wish money had a more stable value. |
--ALEX-- said: It must be great being filthy rich... All those people that say "B-but money can't buy happiness..." What a load! And quite frankly that's poor people talk! Yes you cant buy an emotion. You can not place a value in dollars on an emotion for it is a state of qualia and the value is subjective on top of that. It's impossible. You can buy things that might put you in a state of mind that makes you feel happy but you also can do the same without a price tag. |
| I think they're so important that if I don't have them, I'll rot under a bridge and die. |
 |
| I need it to buy food and stuff. I don't crave vast amounts of it though. |
| I don't really care about having lots of money, but I won't be a hypocrite and say money isn't important as my food expenses are wayyy high compared to the common citizen here. |
| I don't really care about possessions and attempt to own as little as possible because it's bothersome to own/care about things and feel like they own me. Money is important in the sense that it gives freedom and allows you to do whatever you want in life. Like if I got a shit ton of money I'd leave this place and go traveling until broke again. |

If I was rich, I’d mostly spend it having tons of fun. >Jet setting across the world... >going to big sporting events... >And yeah, a lot of adult themed entertainment... ^That beats working everyday living paycheck to paycheck. |
| the importance changes depending on how much I have on me but this is basically me whenever my dad gives me money  |
 |
| Money takes time and effort to obtain, and the high does wear off, so if you want to be happy anyway with more consistency, just remember that it's a state of mind you choose to feel at this moment. Decide that you're happy now and you will be. (In short, be grateful for what you already have and will have.) Happiness must already exist for you to be able to reach your goal of financial abundance. |
| You are just a big hypocrite if you say it is not important. At least a little. OT: A lot. |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| Umm not so high on my priority list tbh I will not deny its importance in survival but money is not everything to me nor it should be to anyone else. That kind of thinking is materislistic as hell and I have no interest in that. Being loved and having friends and being skilled is above money to me and those three things are not really something money can truly acquire. |

| It shouldn't be important but you can't do anything without it so 😩😩. |
 |
| As long as I have enough money to fuel my hobbies and get by. I'm good. |

It's good to have money but it doesn't define happiness. A little money wouldn't hurt. Oh snap! This again? As for my answer. |

| Your classic old quote: Money can't buy everything, but everything needs money! Yeah, it's the most important thing after my OTP. With money all my problems would be solved. Family, buying hobby stuff, visiting Japan anytime I want, go to comiket, pursue overseas study without worrying about money, etc. |

| Money helps pay the bills and buys me food + stuff I need to live, I consider it one of the necessitates in my life. |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| It's important in the way that it allows me freedom and to pursue the life that I want, as well as living comfortably. I don't obsess over it like some people do, and I've never felt that I've needed a lot of money in order to be happy. |

You seem to be the only one here who really has a brain and says more than "not so important". Thank you. I love you. That escalated quickly. Thanks for the compliment though.

Trade with what you can grow. A currency system serves as a middle man for this, not eliminating the need to trade for things but giving more freedom in how we accomplish this. |

Various cultures had a gift economy. Even when it wasn't a gift economy they traded with common useful things such as rice grains for example which is something you can eat so it has a use other than currency which you can't do with money. Also land was free for all to use. Legal tender isn't the only system of currency. I don't just mean bitcoin either. |
| The purpose of life is to experience pleasure/happiness. Money is arguably the best way to access that. There are other things like love and companionship which can't be bought by money. I think they're significantly (not overwhelmingly) more important because with just love and companionship you can enjoy life. But outside of those, there's nothing you can't buy without money. |
