When money is a factor of any situation, it can become the root of all evil and lead to the destruction of many. People will go to great measures to become rich regardless of anyone affected along the way. This is why many people turn a good thing like having a lot of money turn into a horrible thing like being worst off than before their wealth. After winning the lottery for example, the ruinous trait of greed is commonly seen in the character of a lottery winner. They become selfish and excessive with the desire of having and buying more with their winnings than they have or necessary. Once the winner is publically established, strangers know who the winner is and begin to hassle them for their money. Not only is the greed of strangers a winner’s worry, even their own family and friends feel that they deserve some of their money. As a result, money causes the impulsive desire of the need to greed and the spending of more than people are worth resulting in their bankruptcy.…
Money is of major importance in today’s society. If you have an abundance of it, it could vault you into a life of friends, leisure, and fame. Contrarily, a lacking of it could leave you with absolutely nothing but shambles. Indeed, that is the point William Hazlitt attempts to make in “on the want of money.” By using appeal to prosperity, contrasting of ideas, and the idea of ethos, Hazlitt effectively persuades the reader that money is needed to achieve their desired goals.…
Money is power, which people want for themselves. The desire for money is a never ending trip and most individuals will do anything for this control. When people come in to some money, they feel superior, more powerful and above the rest of the other people that have less .they start hanging in crowds with the same level of income, so they feel better. I had a friend who once talk all the time, play together and hangout. When she got older, her family came in to money big time. Now she doesn’t talk to me, and never does anything with me. A…
“Some scholars have pointed [money’s] role as an incentive, insofar as people want money in order to trade it for prized goods or services. Others, however, have deplored money for undermining interpersonal harmony.” (Vohs 1154). Of course we work in order to make money. However, money should not be made just for the fact of making it. Vohs’s article notes that money makes people feel self-sufficient and independent of needing help from others (1154). This self-sufficient feeling spurring from money is an outcome of society’s definition characterization of success.…
One of the greatest philosophers of the 19th century, Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), once said "Money is a barrier against all possible evils." Indeed, money can be used for good and the acquisition of money can be done in a moral and upright way. He advises the reader to restrain from striving for wealth, since a lot of money does not make one very happy, and he also does not believe that wealth is important for happiness. For instance, one man can be satisfied with small wage, whereas another man will feel poor with twice the amount. As a matter of course we need enough wealth to live, but more is not necessary. Wealth can free us from working, but for many people this is not a blessing as most people would be terribly bored. Everybody needs a basic income to be able to survive, but after that, wealth is very relative. This view is corroborated in the findings of contemporary empirical research.[1]…

2. Benjamin Franklin said “Money has never made man happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants”. The desire to earn more money cannot be made independent from man. Same desire keeps the status of money as a motivator alive. According to Maslow theory of needs, it is impossible to survive without fulfilling basic needs of life. These needs are physiological, security and sense of belongingness. In today’s material world it is not possible to acquire the needs like food and security without money. Money makes the mare go and it is rightly so. Same weakness of man is being exploited by modern organizations. Rewards and incentive offered by the organization push workers to produce desired results which when combined together help the organization for its ultimate aim. Organizations look for opportunities such as…

The extent to which money contributes to happiness is probably the most misunderstood phenomenon on earth. Money is very important to have in our society, but as a result, it is highly overrated by most people. It can bring a lot of happiness with it, but it has to be used responsibly. Moreover various researches have repeatedly proven that money can't buy you happiness but, a survey reveals today, that being in control of your finances most certainly does. A study conducted at ‘Aviva’ (largest insurance company in the UK) shows that people earning more than £50,000 are not blessed with more self-esteem or confidence, while good health is seen as twice as important as the capacity to earn more money.…
