Why isn’t money the most important thing in life?


First, we need to establish what money is.

mon·ey/ˈmənē/
Noun:
A current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively.

According to the dictionary, money is a medium of exchange.

In other words, money is nothing more than a tool to help you attain either what you want or need.

Now, think about everyone in your life. Your mother. Your father. Your children. Your relatives. Your friends. Your teachers. Whomever it may be.

Are any of them valuable to you?

To me, I find that the people in my life are far more valuable than any tool could ever be.

Imagine just lying around being in love with that hammer you just got. How ridiculous does that sound?

Well, money is basically the same concept. It’s a tool that does two things:

1. Covers your absolute necessities.

2. Allows you to be more of who you are.
